The Perfect Cruise Memento from your Cruise

Embark on a Personalised Voyage with The Cruise Maps

If, like me, you spend an inordinate amount of precious cruise time looking for something to take home to remind you of your trip, I think I might just have found a solution.

A post kept popping up in my social media feeds about ‘The Cruise Maps’, and it peaked my interest as I was looking for some meaningful wall art for my home office, so I checked it out.

What I found, struck a chord and it was a real lightbulb moment. Instead of trawling endless tacky souvenir shops, or ending up with a pile of cruise ship merch that will end up at the back of my cupboard, I could order a map of my cruise as a permanent reminder. Its even possible to pre-order maps so they arrive shortly after you arrive back home.

How it Works

What makes The Cruise Maps stand out is its innovative use of AIS satellite ship tracking technology, to map the exact route taken by your ship. This means each map is a personalised representation of your unique journey.

When you are ordering your custom map, you need the following information to make sure the right cruise itinerary is mapped:

  • The name of the ship you sailed on.

  • The names of the ports where you joined and left the ship (you don’t need all the ports of call)

  • The dates of your cruise.

Your map will be unique to the exact route that you took. You can also add a personalised message or title on the map.

The Product

The map is an elegant, sleek design, printed on FSC-certified 200gsm museum quality paper resulting in a visually appealing keepsake - either framed or unframed. What truly sets The Cruise Maps apart is its ability to capture the special moments of your voyage. Whether it’s an engagement, wedding, vow renewal, or memorial event at sea, special locations can be marked upon request, adding a personal touch to your cherished memento.

And the best part? The Cruise Maps can create souvenirs for voyages dating back to January 1st, 2015, ensuring that even past adventures can be immortalised in stunning detail, so you could actually create a gallery wall depicting your cruise history.

How Much Does Each Map Cost?

Maps start at £48 for an unframed 30 x 40cm / 12 x 16" Print which can be either landscape or portrait depending on route. Delivery is free worldwide.
