Planning a cruise with friends or family


Port Planner is designed to not only help you organize your own time ashore, but is built to help you plan collaboratively if you are cruising with a group of friends or family.

From collaborating and building an itinerary of everyone's ideas, through to voting thumbs up or down on each attraction. Communicate your thoughts through comments on each attraction.

Port Planner will have you working together to plan the best group cruise in no time!
