The whole cruising world on one map. Watch 458 ocean and river cruise ships move in real time, jump to any cruising region, then map the ports and sailings that go there — free, from the cruise specialists at Pavlus Travel.
Cruise brochures are lists. Cruising is geography. A cruise mapper closes that gap — it answers “where is that ship right now,” “what is that port actually like,” and “which sailing gets me there” on the same map, instead of across three tabs. Pavlus publishes three of them, and they all feed each other.
Every ship above is plotted from her own AIS transponder — the marine radio system ports, pilots and coast guards use. Our full tracker adds a search box, a cruise-line filter and per-ship detail: speed, heading, next port, and how fresh the report is.
Open the live cruise ship tracker →1,873 cruise port guides across 162 countries — what to do ashore, how long ships typically stay, and which lines call there. Each guide has a “View on live map” link that drops you onto the tracker centered on that harbor.
Browse every cruise port guide →Seeing a ship is the easy part. Getting aboard her for less is ours. Every ship on this map links to her own page — deck plans, staterooms, and the sailings you can actually book, at Pavlus’s guaranteed lowest price with no booking fees.
See the current cruise deals →Pick a region. The buttons above the map jump you to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Alaska, the European rivers and eight more cruising grounds. On a phone, pinch to zoom and use two fingers to pan.
Click a ship. Gold hulls are under way, rotated to their real heading; gold dots are docked or anchored. Either way the popup names her line and links to her ship page.
Looking for one specific ship? The live cruise ship tracker has a search box that flies straight to any ship by name — that is the right page when you already know who you are following.
Following one line rather than one ship? Each fleet links to its full ship directory, with deck plans, staterooms and current sailings.
A cruise mapper is any tool that puts cruising on a map instead of in a list — where the ships are at this moment, which ports they call at, and which sailings actually visit the places you want to see. This page is Pavlus Travel's: a free live map of 458 ocean and river cruise ships, backed by 1,873 cruise port guides and every sailing we sell.
Yes — free, with no account, no sign-up and nothing to install. We publish it because the people who map cruises are the people who take them, and when you are ready to book we would like the chance to quote you.
Straight from each ship's own AIS transponder — the marine radio system ports, pilots and coast guards rely on. Near shore those reports arrive every few minutes; mid-ocean they relay by satellite and can be a few hours old. Every ship on the map states how fresh its last report is.
Yes. Our live cruise ship tracker has a search box that flies the map straight to any ship you name, along with her speed, heading and next port. Every ship also has her own page with deck plans, staterooms and current sailings.
Our port guides cover 1,873 harbors in 162 countries, and each one has a "View on live map" link that drops you onto the tracker centered on that harbor, so you can see which ships are in it right now.
That is the whole point. Pavlus Travel has negotiated cruise pricing for over 30 years, guarantees the lowest price on every line we sell, and charges no booking fees. Call 1-800-528-9300 and a planner will quote any sailing on this map.
