About Cruise Frog
What is Cruise Frog?
Cruise Frog is a free directory of cruise lines and the ships they sail: each ship's size, age, capacity and itineraries, its deck plans, editorial ratings, and the latest news about it.
How does Cruise Frog rate cruise ships?
Each ship is scored from 1 to 5 on cabins, dining, entertainment, service, pools and decks, and value. The overall rating is the average of the metrics scored. They are editorial scores, not an average of reader reviews.
Where do the deck plans come from?
Deck plan links point to the plans each cruise line publishes on its own website, so they are as current as the line keeps them.
Is Cruise Frog free?
Yes. Every page is free to read with no account.
How is Cruise Frog related to Lounge Frog?
Cruise Frog is the sister site of Lounge Frog, the airport lounge directory at loungefrog.com. They share one account and wallet, every ship page names the airport for its home port and links to that airport's lounges on Lounge Frog, and Lounge Frog's airport pages list the ships that sail from nearby.
