In a digital world where everything is trackable, live cruise ship tracking has finally caught up.
The Cruise Globe – a completely free, ad-free, fully 3D-enabled platform that’s redefining how cruise fans follow ships around the world.
Not only can you track ships in real time, but you can use this data to track your own cruise history in unprecendented detail.

Unlike older tracking tools, The Cruise Globe offers real-time positions and route mapping of every cruise ship globally, with a personalised and interactive experience never seen before.
And it’s all from the fantastic team behind Cruise Maps – which I want to tell you more about too.
A Leap Forward in Cruise Tracking
Over 4 million people use live cruise tracking apps each month. That number is only expected to grow, with 37 million passengers projected to cruise in 2025.
But until now, live ship tracking was functional at best – often clunky, ad-heavy, and imprecise. The Cruise Globe changes that.

Powered by AIS satellite data, users can now track cruise ships in real time with pinpoint accuracy.
Every vessel is visible on a 3D satellite-view map, complete with detailed stats like speed, number of passengers, current position, and anticipated routes.
Whether you’re watching a loved one’s journey or reminiscing about a past trip, The Cruise Globe brings cruising into the digital age.
But it’s not just about watching.
Users can catalogue their cruise history, log upcoming sailings, and even relive past journeys with detailed route replay on an interactive map. I love the idea of having a library of everywhere I’ve sailed!
And yes – it’s all free to use.
Already there are 45,000 people using The Cruise Globe and it’s continuing to grow rapidly, so make sure you check it out.
The Cruise Globe App Is Coming Soon
The Cruise Globe is already mobile-optimised, but the team is going one step further.
The team are aiming to launch a mobile app later this year, allowing users to carry their entire cruise history, live tracking, and future bookings in their pocket.
“Our aim is to make The Cruise Globe the single digital app for everyone’s cruising needs. The next logical step towards this was to show the live positions of every cruise ship.
“This is still entirely free-to-use and will also be part of our mobile app that we’re releasing later this summer. The whole cruise mapping experience including users’ upcoming cruise bookings will soon be available in their pocket, all in one place.”
Matthew Jones, co-founder of The Cruise Globe
From Print Maps to a Global Cruise Community
If The Cruise Globe sounds familiar, it might be because it’s the latest project from the creators of Cruise Maps – the world’s first personalised cruise mapping product.

Cruise Maps allows passengers to create bespoke prints of their journeys, featuring accurate port stops, ship routes, and travel statistics.
The idea was born from the minds of Matthew Jones and Will Ellison, two long-time friends with backgrounds in start-ups and naval architecture, respectively.
Together with cruise content creator Emma Le Teace (better known as Emma Cruises), they’ve turned their passion for ships and travel into a full-blown tech platform.

From beautifully printed keepsakes to a powerful digital platform with over 45,000 users in 100+ countries, the trio has built a fast-growing community of cruise enthusiasts.
The Cruise Globe has already logged over 235,000 sailings – and it’s just getting started.
Cruise Smarter, Share More
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser, a data nerd, or someone who just wants a better way to track and share their travels, The Cruise Globe offers a new kind of cruise companion.
The platform even lets users compare cruise histories, track how many ports and ships they’ve visited, and share stats with friends or fellow passengers.
With ambitious plans to hit 100,000 users by year-end, the team is tapping into the competitive – and proudly nostalgic – spirit of cruise fans around the world.
Definitely make sure you check out The Cruise Globe, and take a look at Cruise Maps too to get some beautiful printed keepsakes of your sailings.

Hi Jenni, I’m considering a solo single cruise but there are so many to choose from. As a first time cruiser I am looking for the cheapest adult cruise with no single supplement for approximately 21 days.
Can you advise please?
Thank you
