This interactive map shows every cruise in real-time

The ocean is a vast place, and if you’ve ever been on a cruise; you’ll know just how big the big blue is.

Quiet days on an endless ocean, you’d be forgiven to think you’re the only cruise at sea.

In fact, at any given time there are thousands of different vessels at sea.

And thanks to MarineTraffic, you can now see every single one of them on a live map.

The map includes cruises, shipping containers, and other public vessels, and allows users to zoom in on a particular area.
