Find and Add a Cruise
You do not need a booking confirmation in hand to add a cruise. JourneyFuse keeps a searchable catalog of real sailings — tens of thousands of departures across every major cruise line, refreshed automatically — so you can look one up by line, ship, and month and pull the whole thing onto a trip. The day-by-day port schedule comes with it.
Two ways to add a cruise, depending on what you have:
- Browse Cruises — you know the ship and roughly when it sails, but don't have paperwork yet (quoting a client, showing options, planning ahead). Search the catalog and pick the sailing.
- Import Cruise — you already have a confirmation. Paste it (or use AI Import) and we pull the cabin, dates, pricing, and confirmation number off the document.
Both land in the same place: a real cruise booking on the trip, with the itinerary built out.
Browse the Sailing Catalog
You can start a cruise search from a few spots, whichever you're already in:
- On a trip → Bookings tab — click Browse Cruises. On a trip that already has bookings, it's in the ⋯ / Add menu as Browse Cruises.
- In the Itinerary builder — click the Cruises button (the ship icon) in the toolbar.
Then:
- Filter by cruise line, ship, and month. Results are real, upcoming sailings from our catalog.
- Pick the sailing that matches your client's plans.
- Review the details and Save.
That's it. The cruise is added to the trip as a booking, and its day-by-day port schedule (each port with arrival and departure times, plus sea days, embarkation, and disembarkation) populates the itinerary automatically.
What Comes With It
Once the sailing is on the trip:
- Port-by-port itinerary — the full sailing built out day by day, no typing.
- Ship profile — the ship's overview, stateroom categories, dining, and onboard activities appear on the itinerary and the public proposal page. See Cruise Ship Profiles.
- Command Center — for the major lines (Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise, and more), the trip's Command Center fills in with planning milestones and countdowns once the cruise booking is on the trip.
You can add cabin details, pricing, and travelers at any point after — Browse Cruises gets the sailing and its itinerary in first, and the rest fills in as the booking firms up.
Already Have a Confirmation? Use Import Cruise
If the client is booked and you have the confirmation, skip the search:
- On the Bookings tab, click Import Cruise (or ⋯ → Import Cruise).
- Paste Confirmation — drop in the confirmation email or itinerary text and JourneyFuse extracts the line, ship, dates, cabin, dining, pricing, and confirmation number.
- Review and Save.
The AI Import Booking button handles this too, alongside flights, hotels, and everything else, when you're importing a mix of documents at once.
Good to Know
- The catalog is for the itinerary, not live pricing. Browse Cruises gives you the sailing and its ports. For pricing, add it from the confirmation, or set up a price watch to track a fare over time.
- A cruise is a booking, not a separate object. However you add it (browse or import), it lives on the trip as a booking and flows into invoices, the itinerary, and the proposal like any other.
- Not every line is in the catalog for every date. Coverage is broad but not exhaustive. If a specific sailing isn't showing, add it with New Booking or Import Cruise and the ship profile still builds from the ship name.
