Get your fingers at the ready, swipe those screens, and prepare yourself to delve deep within our top 5 picks for the best cruising apps for 2016, which are available now.
Cruise Finder
Your first port of call when it comes to apps for your cruise should be Cruise Finder. This award-winning app provides detailed information on a large number of cruise lines, including over 300 ships and over 25,000 itineraries, complete with route maps. In addition to all this, the app provides users with a gallery of stateroom photos and deck plans. This app is completely free, so why not go ahead and test it out for yourself?
Cruise Tycoon
Don’t you sometimes just feel like being on a cruise isn’t enough? What if you could run your own cruise line? Well now’s your chance, with this fun business management simulator game. Open your own cruise company, create a route and sailing schedule and hire your virtual employees. Take charge of planning excursions, food, advertising and ship maintenance, and you’ll soon be addicted to being a cruise ship tycoon! Only available on Apple devices, this app costs £1.49 from the iStore
TripIt
TripIt is the ultimate pre-cruise organiser, and is just as good for land-based holidays too. You can store all your cruise itineraries, flight info, hotel bookings, transfer documents and more in the one place. Just enter your email address and TripIt will look for confirmation numbers and pull the relevant information straight from your inbox. It’ll also send you check-in reminders. You can share your travel plans with others via text, email or social media in one click.
TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor is a must for anyone opting out of planned excursions. If you prefer to explore a port on your own, use TripAdvisor to look up the best attractions, bars and restaurants. The maps are also handy for walking directions.
Wi-Fi Finder
Cruise ship wi-fi can be very expensive. So you’d be forgiven for giving it a miss altogether and just catching up on your emails and social media over a coffee in port. This is where Wi-Fi Finder comes in. This handy (and free) app will locate your nearest cafes and bars that offer Wi-Fi so you can head over there and enjoy the service, and your savings. It works in over 50 countries, with all the hotspots stored locally on your device, so you don’t need to connect to the internet in order to find them.
