For Crew

The friends you make at sea
shouldn't end at the gangway

You live this life. New ship, new contract, new faces — and the best people scattered across the fleet. Cruises with Friends keeps your current contract front and centre, and keeps your people close, wherever the next posting takes you.

Why crew use it

Your home page, between watches

Everything that matters when you're aboard — without the noise.

Your contract at a glance

Ship, dates, itinerary and embarkation port — your current contract is right there the moment you open the app. No digging.

Friends in port today

Get a heads-up when a friend — crew on another ship or a passenger you've sailed with — is in the same port on the same day. Grab a coffee ashore.

Friendships that follow you

Transfer ships, change lines, finish a season — your connections come with you. The crew family you build stays one tap away.

Stay in touch off-rotation

Direct messages keep the conversation going between contracts, so home leave doesn't mean losing touch.

Carry your history

Every ship, every contract, every season — your sea time and the ports you've worked, kept in one place that's yours.

You set the rules

Privacy controls let you decide who sees your profile, your contract and your plans. Share with your circle, not the whole ship.

In port together

Two ships, one port, one afternoon off

You'd never know your bunkmate from three contracts ago was docked across the pier. Cruises with Friends does — and tells you in time to actually meet up.

  • See which friends share your port and your date
  • Works across ships, lines and contracts
  • Crew and the passengers you've befriended
  • Plan a meetup ashore in a couple of taps
Port alerts come straight to the app

The crew family

The people make the life

The ships change, the seasons change, the friends shouldn't have to. The best part of life at sea is the family you build along the way — Cruises with Friends keeps them one message away, wherever you both end up next.
