Find Your Cruise with the New Cruise Plotter Interactive Map

Test drive the new Cruise Plotter.
Test drive the new Cruise Plotter to cruise almost anywhere in the world.

Pick a port or destination and Cruise Plotter takes you there.

Okay, I’ll admit that I’m fairly savvy in knowing what ship is going where and when…but only generally speaking, of course. No one can memorize thousands of itineraries and the ships that go there.

When I learned about Cruise Plotter (developed by the British company, DealChecker.co.uk) and checked it out, I thought it was a very clever and fun way to search for a cruise vacation.

Only a couple of clicks away.
Arrive at a cute interactive map that displays more than 200 cruise destinations around world and thousands of cruises from which to choose.

Always a skeptic, I cross-checked the results with a few cruise lines just to make sure that what I found on the Cruise Plotter was accurate. And it was.

Here’s how it works.
