Every passenger ship at sea continuously broadcasts her position, speed and heading over AIS, the Automatic Identification System — the same marine radio network that ports, harbour pilots and coast guards rely on to keep traffic apart. Shore stations pick those broadcasts up within VHF range; out in open water, satellites relay them instead.
This tracker listens to that feed for 458 ocean and river cruise ships and plots each one within minutes of her latest report. A gold hull icon means a ship is under way, rotated to her true heading; a gold dot means she is alongside or at anchor, and we name the harbour. Because satellite relays are slower than shore stations, every ship shows how old her last report is — a ship that appears stationary mid-Atlantic is almost always just between reports.
Type the ship's name into the search box at the top of this page. Every ship here broadcasts her position over AIS — the marine radio system ports, pilots and coast guards use — and we plot the latest report, with speed, heading and next port where the bridge has entered one.
Yes. No account, no app, no fee. 458 ocean and river cruise ships, updated continuously.
Near the coast, every few minutes. Mid-ocean, positions relay by satellite and can be a few hours old. Every ship on this site states exactly how fresh its last report is, so you are never guessing.
AIS coverage lapses in the remotest stretches of open ocean, and ships in a shipyard period switch their transponders off. We keep showing the last confirmed position and label how old it is; the ship reappears as soon as a new report arrives.
