What works offline
Standard plans are great when everything goes to plan. Ship-Safe Pro handles the moments when it doesn't — live disruptions, missed buses, running late — and gets you back to your ship.
The top attraction is packed
Crowd alert says high between 10:30–12:00. Go before 09:45 or after 13:00 — estimated from cruise traffic patterns.
Bus running late
Emergency Return Mode calculates if you need a taxi now. Estimate and nearest option shown immediately.
You lost track of time
Safety timer fires at must-leave time. One tap shows you the fastest route back right now.
No signal in port
Plan was auto-cached before you left the ship. Offline route steps, stops, and all-aboard time — available without internet.

The Honest Comparison
Same port. Same day. Very different results.
On a 5-port cruise, PortTrip users save €300–€500 per person vs ship excursions.
How It Works
Four steps. Thirty seconds. No ship excursion markup.
Port name, dock time, all-aboard time. Takes 20 seconds.
First time, nature, culture, food, relax — AI adapts your plan.
Time-stamped itinerary, transport between every stop, costs, safety buffer.
Walk off the ship and follow the steps. Back on board, on time, €85 richer.
Most travel apps are built for tourists. PortTrip is built for the specific constraints of a cruise port day: you have 6–10 hours, you must return on time, and missing the ship costs €2,000+. That changes everything.

Safety buffer calculated for every plan — not a guess, a calculation.

Average saving per port vs ship excursion prices.
Ship excursions cost €80–€145 per person. A PortTrip DIY plan for the same port costs €10–€35 — using the same transport and visiting the same sites, but at your own pace. The difference on a 5-port cruise is typically €300–€500 per person.
The catch with DIY: you need exact transport directions and a reliable must-leave time. That's exactly what PortTrip provides. Every plan includes the specific bus route, boarding stop, return timing, and a 90-minute safety buffer to your all-aboard deadline.
Enter your port and all-aboard time (20 seconds). PortTrip uses this to calculate your exact must-leave time and available hours.
Choose your style: first-time visitor, culture, nature, food, or relax. The AI adapts your stops and routing.
Get your plan: time-stamped itinerary, exact bus routes and costs, insider timing tips, and return-to-ship instructions.
Walk off the ship and follow the steps. The safety timer fires at must-leave time. No guessing, no Google Maps panic.
