"The Shipboard Cruiser" is a research site for news about vacation cruises and cruise lines worldwide. We are headquartered in the heart of cruising -- Florida U.S.A. This is our 10th year of operation.

We have contacts worldwide and bring you news about cruise vacations from up to 65 cruise lines (yes - 65!!) through the year. They operate over 240 cruise ships, with more new ships under construction each year. These "newbuilds" are described in the news items found on our news page.

With dozens of cruise ships plying the oceans, it's hard to keep up with where the ships are going and what the good deals are. This site brings you news, tips and ship reviews to help you sort out the market for vacation cruises.

We sell no travel or cruises, we publish no advertising and we are not affiliated with any cruise line, travel agency or other travel entity. Our website is totally objective.

Even though designed for the cruising consumer, over 300 cruise line executives visit our site. They wish to keep up with what other lines are doing. That tells you we have important information you can use as well.

Let The Shipboard Cruiser and our Home page be your direct future link to vacation cruising around the world...please join us to become a better informed vacation cruiser. Visit often!
