Photobook

Just tell us the name of your ship and the start and end dates of your cruise. If your cruise took place from 2015 onwards, we use real AIS satellite tracking data to map the exact route you took, including any diversions from the original itinerary. For cruises before 2015, we'll email you after your order to ask for a list of the ports you visited, so we can build the most accurate route possible.

Yes. Our build editor lets you place your photos exactly where you want them, and preview your book page by page in full before you order, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Our photobook editor has two modes. Smart Creator does the hard work for you, just upload your photos and it will automatically place them in the best orientation, order, and layout. If you'd rather have full control, Manual Creator lets you build your book page by page, one step at a time, and you can also switch to manual mode afterwards to fine-tune anything Smart Creator has done for you.

Photobooks start at 24 pages (around 50 photos) and go all the way up to 300 pages, so however big your cruise story is, there's room for it.

Yes. You can add your own title and a photo to both the front and back cover, so it's truly yours.

We advise uploading the highest quality pictures you have. If you're uploading straight from your phone, that's generally more than good enough. Our editor will also flag any photos that are too low quality before you send your book to print.

Yes. You can save your photobook and pick it back up later. Progress is saved for 7 days, and we'll email you before it expires so you can refresh the timer if you need more time.

Each photobook is built around one cruise map, but there's nothing stopping you from adding photos from other cruises too. You can only include one map per book.

Yes, our photobooks are designed to make a great gift. You can have it sent directly to your recipient.

Once your order is placed, our team gives it a final check before it goes to print. If we spot any errors, we'll contact you to get them fixed before printing.

Around 14 days from order to delivery.

Unfortunately, given that these books are so highly personalised, we don't offer returns. If there's a quality issue with your print or a mistake in your route, email us at hello@thecruisemaps.com and we'll make it right.
