The best apps to log your cruises

• TripStow: best for a cruise log that builds itself from your booking confirmations, with your flights and hotels in the same trips.
• The Cruise Globe: best for a free map and stats record of every cruise you have taken.
• Shipmate: best for planning an upcoming sailing, with your past cruises listed alongside.
• Cruise Ship Tracker: best for iPhone users who want live ship tracking and a logbook together, and will pay for it.
• CruiseMapper: best for looking up a ship's position or itinerary, rather than keeping your own log.

Prices and features are as each company published them on 22 October 2026. TripStow made this page; the other apps are trademarks of their owners and are not affiliated with TripStow.

Best for a cruise log that builds itself from your booking confirmations, with your flights and hotels in the same trips.

Forward the confirmation from the cruise line or your travel agent, even a PDF, and TripStow builds the voyage with every port of call and its local arrival and departure times, filed into one trip with the flights and hotel night either side. The Dock keeps every ship you have sailed on, with nights at sea and ports of call, and cruise countries count on your scratch-off map. Pro looks up the ports for you from the ship and dates.

Best for a free map and stats record of every cruise you have taken.

Add each cruise by ship, dates and ports, and The Cruise Globe draws its real route from AIS ship tracking, diversions and missed ports included, and totals your nautical miles, ports and ships in a shareable passport. Upcoming cruises get a countdown, and river cruises count too. Cruises are typed in, not read from emails.^[1][2][3]

Best for planning an upcoming sailing, with your past cruises listed alongside.

A cruise planning app from Cruiseline.com: save several upcoming cruises with booking details, cabin and cruise credits, follow a countdown, deck plans, roll calls and the ship's position, and keep your cruise history to share. It does not list stats such as nights or ports, and details are added by hand.^[4][5]

Best for iPhone users who want live ship tracking and a logbook together, and will pay for it.

Tracks any cruise ship in real time, with countdown widgets, and lets you log past voyages and plan future ones. A subscription is required after the trial.^[6]

Best for looking up a ship's position or itinerary, rather than keeping your own log.

A cruise ship tracker and itinerary database: where each ship is now, and its port schedule. Its listing does not describe a personal cruise history.^[7]

We looked for apps that keep a record of the cruises you have taken, and noted which also organise upcoming sailings or track ships live. Facts come from each company's own website, UK App Store or Google Play listing on 22 October 2026, cited below. Cruise line apps were left out because each covers only its own line's sailings.

What is the best app to log my past cruises?

For a free map of every route with miles and ports, The Cruise Globe. For a log built from your booking confirmations, with your flights and hotels in the same trips and cruise countries on a scratch-off map, TripStow.

Is there an app that reads my cruise booking confirmation?

Yes. TripStow reads cruise confirmations forwarded by email, including travel agents' PDFs, and builds the voyage with every port of call. The other apps here have cruises typed in by hand.

Can I count nights at sea and ports visited?

TripStow's Dock keeps nights at sea and ports of call for every ship you have sailed on. The Cruise Globe totals nautical miles, ports and ships.
