Wondering where your cruise ship is right now? Watch 458 ocean and river cruise ships move across the world in real time — free, from the cruise experts at Pavlus Travel.
Every cruise ship at sea continuously broadcasts its position, speed, and heading over AIS — the marine radio system used by ports, pilots, and coast guards worldwide. This tracker listens to that signal for every ship Pavlus Travel sells, from Viking longships on the Danube to Royal Caribbean’s biggest ocean ships, and plots each one on the live map above within minutes of its latest report.
Click any ship to see how fast it’s sailing, where it’s headed next, and when the position was received. Ships shown with a round dot are docked or anchored — their entries link straight to our cruise port guide for that harbor, so you can see what awaits passengers ashore. Mid-ocean, positions come via satellite and refresh every few hours.
Follow a favorite fleet — every line links to its full ship directory with staterooms, deck plans, and current sailings at Pavlus’s guaranteed lowest price.
Type the ship's name into the search box on this page. Every ship Pavlus sells broadcasts its position continuously over AIS — the same marine radio system ports and coast guards rely on — and our tracker plots it on the live map, along with its speed, heading, and next port when available.
Ships near the coast update every few minutes. Mid-ocean, positions come from satellite AIS and typically refresh every few hours. Each ship on the map shows exactly how fresh its last report is.
AIS coverage can briefly lapse in the most remote stretches of open ocean. The tracker keeps showing the last confirmed position and clearly labels how old it is; the ship reappears as soon as a new report arrives.
Yes — ships shown with a round dot are currently docked or at anchor, and their entry names the port. You can also open any of our cruise port guides to see which ships are in that harbor right now.
