Find ships by how you travel

Great ships aren't great for everyone.

We show our work.

Most cruise sites can't tell you where a claim came from. Here, ship-specific details carry a source, a confidence rating, and a last-verified date — and a ship only earns a full guide once it clears a real depth bar, not just enough data to score.

Cited, not guessed

Every sourced detail links back to where it came from — an operator's own site, a reputable outlet, or labeled traveler consensus — plus how sure we are.

Rated for depth

Ships move from discovered to guide-ready only once they have a real sourced evidence file, not just enough data to score.

Frequently asked

Does My Cruise Intel book my cruise?

No — we don't sell cruises. We help you decide which one is worth booking. If you'd like, you can opt in at the end to have a travel advisor follow up with pricing and booking help.

How are ships evaluated?

Every ship is scored on the same set of characteristics using one consistent method — the same rules applied to everyone, so results are comparable across cruise lines.

Are recommendations paid placements?

No. No cruise line or travel partner can pay to rank higher. Ranking is based only on how well a ship matches your answers.
