Ships do not wait.
In March 2024, eight Norwegian Dawn passengers on a private tour came back to the pier in São Tomé more than an hour after all-aboard. Getting back on board took six days, seven countries and over $5,000. The details

Ask ChatGPT for ideas.
Don’t ask it when to leave.
A chatbot can suggest what to see. It can’t see your ship’s clock, the tender queue or where you’re standing at 3 pm. That last hour is where people miss the ship.
“Timelines were totally unrealistic.”
“ChatGPT guessed incorrectly which port we’d dock at.”
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.

One port is free. Your whole cruise is €14.99.
Every port has its own queues, transport and clock. The Cruise Pass times all of them to your ship, then watches the clock for you on the day.

Questions people ask before they book
Something else? Email hello@porttrip.com. Elke answers.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
Use it for ideas. For timing it guesses: it does not know your ship’s clock, the tender or cable-car queue that afternoon, or where you are standing. PortTrip’s leave-by times come from guides checked against official sources, and on the day it uses live Google Maps travel time from your location.
How do I plan my return to the ship?
Enter your all-aboard time. PortTrip shows the latest time to leave each part of town, in port time and ship time, with the tender or cable-car queue already counted, and what to do if you are running late. Always follow your ship’s instructions on the day.
What is ship time, and why does it matter?
Some ships keep their own clock rather than the port’s. All-aboard is always in ship time, while your phone switches to port time. Tell PortTrip which your ship uses and it shows every time on both clocks.
What is the difference between the Cruise Pass and the Year Pass?
The Cruise Pass covers one sailing, up to 10 ports, and you pay once. The Year Pass covers every cruise you take for 12 months. Both include the full planner and live mode on the day.
Are cruise excursions worth it?
In many ports you can reach 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.
