About

Transform your cruise into a social adventure with ShipMates, the only social networking app made exclusively for cruise passengers. ShipMates solves a common problem: helping travelers connect before boarding, plan activities together, and avoid exploring or dining alone. Whether you’re sailing solo, as a couple, or with friends, ShipMates creates a temporary social community tailored to your exact voyage. Unlike location-based dating apps, ShipMates is an event-specific social network. You only see passengers on your exact cruise—same ship, same dates, same ports—giving you a private, focused community. Once you add your cruise, you can instantly connect with fellow passengers, organize activities, coordinate excursions, and build your group prior to departure. The heart of ShipMates is Activity Planning, where users create or join group activities for anything onboard or ashore. Activities can be public or private, making it easy to coordinate plans, split costs, or simply find people who share your interests. ShipMates also includes an optional, fully-disableable dating toggle, but the primary purpose of the platform is social connection—finding friends, activity partners, dinner companions, or excursion buddies. Profile filters prioritize travel style, cruise experience, and shared interests to help you connect with the right people. By letting passengers connect before the cruise begins, ShipMates eliminates the awkward first-day scramble and ensures you start your vacation with a group, a plan, or at least a familiar face. ShipMates is not a dating app, not location-based, and not a permanent network. It’s a voyage-specific community platform designed to enhance your cruise through meaningful, purpose-driven connections—and nothing else offers this combination. Make your cruise more social, organized, and memorable. Download ShipMates today.
