Cruise fans are about to become very obsessed with this.
A new free tool called The Cruise Globe lets you track cruise ships all over the world in real time with interactive 3D maps, live routes and detailed voyage history. But that’s only part of what makes it so addictive.
The really clever feature is that it can also build a visual record of your own cruise history, letting you see every ship you’ve sailed, where you’ve been and how your cruising habits have changed over time.

And unlike many older cruise tracking websites, it’s completely free and ad-free.
Once you start exploring it, it’s surprisingly hard to stop.
A Leap Forward in Cruise Tracking
Over 4 million people use live cruise tracking apps each month, and that number keeps growing as cruising becomes more popular than ever.
Cruise lines are expected to carry almost 40 million passengers in 2026, meaning even more people are following ships, itineraries and cruise history online.
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 Now Live
The Cruise Globe was already mobile-friendly, but now it has its own dedicated app too.
The app lets users track cruise ships in real time, manage future bookings and view their complete cruise history all in one place, making it even easier to keep up with your favourite ships wherever you are.
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.
For cruise fans, it’s the kind of tool that quickly turns from “that’s interesting” into something you end up checking almost every day.
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
