Know the port before the signal disappears

Cruise port guides that stay useful offline.

Explore 171 genuine cruise ports with offline Ahoy There guides covering arrival realities, practical planning, highlights and return-to-ship considerations.

Story 01

171 cruise ports, plus one Lancashire surprise

The app catalogue contains 172 guides: 171 genuine cruise ports and a clearly labelled inland Preston bonus. Twenty-five major embarkation and turnaround ports are included; optional regional Port Packs cover further destinations visited during cruises.

Public website pages provide useful previews. Complete plans, more places and richer decision detail remain available inside the offline app guide.

Story 02

Built around decisions ashore

Guides explain what the berth means for the day, how to reach town, what fits the available time, walking and accessibility considerations, typical costs, booking advice and realistic return-to-ship risk.

Save places and plans, then organise cruise stops in My Trip before sailing.

Story 03

Source-backed and reviewed

Destination material carries source references and review dates. Advice is framed honestly: port arrangements, opening times and transport can change, so current ship and local instructions remain authoritative.

The useful detail

Carry the decisions that matter ashore, even when mobile data does not.

Website preview versus the complete offline guide

Every public port page gives a substantial preview: arrival context, practical essentials, realistic day scope, selected highlights, family advice and source links. It is designed to answer a traveller’s first questions and to earn its place in search without publishing the entire paid guide.

Inside Ahoy There, the complete guide adds the wider set of places, richer decision detail and prepared plans intended for offline use. The distinction is deliberate. You can judge the quality and relevance on the web, then prepare the fuller guide on the phone before stepping ashore.

Terminal, tender, shuttle and walkability first

A port day changes shape according to where the ship actually arrives. A central berth can make an independent walk straightforward; a remote quay may require a port shuttle; a tender introduces queues, sea conditions and a final-boat deadline. Guides lead with this reality rather than presenting a generic city article.

The public atlas now puts the arrival answer, practical orientation and table of contents near the top of every genuine port page. The complete app guide continues into transport choices, accessibility notes, booking considerations, typical costs and the margin needed to return calmly.

My Trip turns a catalogue into your cruise

A list of destinations is only the beginning. My Trip lets you organise the stops that belong to your sailing, keep the day sequence clear and move from a cruise stop into its prepared guide. Planning before departure means less searching at a terminal and fewer decisions made under time pressure.

Save the places and plans that suit your group rather than attempting every highlight. One excellent museum, beach, viewpoint or neighbourhood with a protected return window is usually a better cruise day than a frantic list built for somebody else.

Source-backed previews with a correction path

Port arrangements can change, so the atlas records sources and meaningful review dates. Port authorities, official transport providers and destination organisations are preferred where available. Ship instructions, local notices and current accessibility information remain authoritative on the day.

The Feedback page links to the separate Ahoy There portal and an email fallback. Reports can identify a changed shuttle, misleading description or accessibility problem without exposing passwords, room passkeys or private chat. Corrections should improve the guide itself, not hide behind a vague update date.

Before you sail

Straight answers to sensible questions.

Which guides are included?

The app includes full offline guides for 25 major cruise departure ports. Twelve optional regional Port Packs unlock 147 further full destination guides for ports visited during the cruise.

Will every page stay available without data?

The complete included or owned app guides are designed for offline use once prepared on the phone. The public website itself is an online preview.

Are terminal assignments guaranteed?

No. Berths, tenders and shuttles can change. Always follow the cruise line, ship and port instructions for the actual call.

Why not publish the whole guide on the website?

The site provides enough useful material to plan and evaluate the product while reserving the complete offline guide, plans and wider place catalogue for Ahoy There.
