PortTrip Pro

Every port of every cruise you take this year. $129/yr.

PortTrip is built by Elke, in Maastricht. I started it after watching cruise passengers pay for a coach tour to a city they could have reached on a €3 bus — and after seeing how stressful the return to the ship is when you're doing it alone. PortTrip plans the day around your all-aboard time so you can go on your own with a clear plan. If something in a guide is wrong, email hello@porttrip.com and I'll fix it.

Questions people ask before they book

Something else? Email hello@porttrip.com. Elke answers.

Are cruise excursions worth it?

In many ports you can reach the town yourself by bus, train or on foot. PortTrip gives you the route, the cost and the time to start back, so you can compare it with the excursion price on your own ship and decide.

How do I plan my return to the ship?

Your plan is built around your all-aboard time, with a must-leave time and a return buffer. Tender ports get extra time. Always verify final instructions onboard.

Is it safe to explore a port on my own?

Many major ports — Barcelona, Dubrovnik, Athens, Naples, Lisbon — have public transport from the cruise terminal, and every plan includes a backup option. Check conditions on the day and your ship’s instructions.

What is the difference between Pro and Ultimate?

Pro plans every port on every cruise you take for a year, with a leave-by time on every stop and a Plan B if you are running late. Ultimate adds help on the day itself: a live leave-by countdown with alerts, hour-by-hour crowd levels in port, and an email if your ship changes its times or ports.

What if it’s not for me?
