Cruise planner
Your whole cruise, port by port.
A cruise isn't one destination — it's a different port every day, each on a clock. HolidayPal keeps the lot in one place: your itinerary, the all-aboard time for every port, your excursions, your ship and cabin — and it all works offline at sea.
UK-based · Works offline at sea · Free to start, on iPhone & Android.
Never miss the ship
The all-aboard time, front and centre.
Every port stores its all-aboard time, and on a port day the app puts a big "back on board by 4:30pm"at the top — with your excursion underneath. The one thing you can't afford to get wrong, impossible to miss.
Mark sea days, tender ports, arrival times and what you're doing ashore, so the whole sailing reads at a glance.

Learn moreA cruise isn't one holiday — it's ten
Most travel apps assume a trip is one place you fly to and stay. A cruise is the opposite: a new port most days, each with an arrival time, an all-aboard time and often a booked excursion, wrapped around days at sea and life on the ship. Trying to keep that in a normal planner — or worse, in a pile of confirmation emails — is how people end up confused on the quay. A proper cruise planner treats the portsas the plan: what's next, when you arrive, when you must be back on board, and what you're doing in between.
The all-aboard time is the whole game
Every experienced cruiser has the same quiet fear: watching the ship pull away while you're still ashore. All-aboard is usually thirty minutes before departure, it varies by port, and it's easy to lose track of on a long day out. HolidayPal makes it the first thing you see on a port day — a bold "back on board by 4:30pm" with your excursion under it — so the clock that actually matters is never buried under everything else.
Everything works with no signal at sea
Data at sea is expensive and ship Wi-Fi is patchy, so a cruise planner that needs a connection is useless exactly when you need it. HolidayPal loads your whole cruise onto your phone: the port itinerary, all-aboard times, excursions, your cabin and dining details and your boarding passes all work offline. Add it to your home screen like an app and it's there in the middle of the ocean.
Get there, and share it
The cruise starts with getting to the ship, so your flights, transfers and boarding passes live alongside the sailing itself — see the travel document wallet. And because most people cruise with someone, you can share the whole thing with a code or a WhatsApp link so your cabin-mate or family sees the same ports, excursions and all-aboard times on their own phone — handy when you split up ashore.
Cruise planning — common questions
What's the best app for planning a cruise?
HolidayPal is built for cruises. It keeps your whole sailing in one place — a port-by-port itinerary with all-aboard times, your shore excursions, your ship, cabin, muster station and dining sitting, plus your flights and boarding passes to the port. It works offline at sea, and you can share the whole thing with whoever you're cruising with.
Will it remind me of the all-aboard time in each port?
Yes — every port stores its all-aboard time, and on a port day the app puts a big 'back on board by 4:30pm' front and centre so it's the first thing you see. Missing the ship is every cruiser's nightmare; this makes it hard to.
Does it work with no signal at sea?
Yes. Once your cruise is loaded, everything — the port itinerary, all-aboard times, excursions, cabin and dining details, boarding passes — works offline. No roaming, no ship Wi-Fi needed to see your plan.
Can I add my shore excursions?
Each port can hold a shore excursion with the meet time, meeting point and whether it's booked or just an idea. So when the ship docks you know exactly what you're doing, where to be and when to be back on board.
Does it store my ship and cabin details?
Yes — cruise line, ship, cabin and deck, muster station, dining sitting and table, formal nights, and your drinks and Wi-Fi packages, all in one card. The bits you always forget or dig through emails for.
Can my cabin-mate or family see the same cruise?
Share the cruise with a code or a WhatsApp link and everyone sees the same ports, excursions and times on their own phone — no separate accounts. Handy when you split up ashore and want the all-aboard time to hand.
What does it cost?
Creating and organising your cruise is free. Optional Plus features (like the AI trip assistant and things-to-do nearby in each port) are a small one-off Trip Pass, with no subscription.
Set your cruise up in minutes.
Add your ports, drop in the all-aboard times, and enjoy every stop — no signal needed.
