The Cruise Globe, the world’s first free-to-use digital platform that allows global travellers to accurately map out their entire cruise history, has smashed its first month’s targets with over 20,000 users signed up and in excess of 100,000 cruises logged in just 30 days.
This remarkable success backs up The Cruise Globe’s claim that cruisers have been crying out for a platform that allows them to log, explore and share the exact routes of every single cruise journey and share this information with family and friends.
While the majority of users are based in the UK, The Cruise Globe is proving popular with cruisers worldwide, in particular those based in the US, Canada, Australia and the EU. The average number of cruises logged per user is just over 5 while the most cruises to have been logged by one single user is 78.
Matthew Jones, co-founder of The Cruise Globe, said: “While we were confident that there was huge unmet demand for a service like this, we have been blown away by just how quickly it has taken off and how much users seem to love it. Most digital start-ups reach 10,000 users within the first six to 12 months but we have achieved double that number of users in just one month which is something that we are all incredibly proud of.”
Current key features of The Cruise Globe include:
- Log, explore and share the exact routes of every one of your cruise journeys using AIS satellite tracking technology.
- See a full break-down of the statistics of your entire cruise history, including exact distances travelled.
- Re-live every port and landmark by ‘flying through’ your exact cruise route in 3D.
- Show your friends exactly where you visited by zooming in on ports in satellite view.
Phase two, which will be completed by the end of the year, will include the addition of live cruise ship movements, future cruises and river cruises, as well as the development of an app.
