Our journey
Crafting cruise memories since 2019
CruiseMap is a product of MedienTeam66, a Munich publishing house founded in 1995. Our founder Leonhard Seidl is a travel journalist and experienced sailor with more than 15,000 nautical miles in his wake. Since 2019 we have created CruiseBook — individually designed premium photo albums documenting real voyages — and published first-hand cruise journalism at cruise-book.com. CruiseMap is the next step.
Selected CruiseBook editions
Each CruiseBook is an individually designed premium photo album documenting one real voyage. Every image is chosen by an experienced photographer with one clear standard: each photo must tell a story and be of premium quality. Ship photography comes from the respective cruise line's official image material; destination imagery is the work of professional travel photographers. All texts are written by an experienced travel journalist with a deep love of cruising.

Why we ask for permission to use ship photographs
Every CruiseMap can feature an illustration of the ship the guest traveled on. To draw these illustrations accurately and respectfully, our illustrators work from official photographs — and we ask for your permission first.
What we request — and what we assure
Permission to use one approved photograph per ship, solely as a reference for an original CruiseMap illustration.
Reference only. The photograph itself is never published, distributed or passed on.
Original artwork. The result is an independent, hand-crafted illustration in CruiseMap's own style — like a maritime artist painting a ship's portrait.
Your approval. On request, we submit the finished illustration for your review before it is used in any product. You keep control over how your ship is represented.
Accurate representation. A documented quality standard covers proportions, livery colors and characteristic details — your ship is always shown correctly and at its best.

The partnership
Why cruise lines choose CruiseMap
Enhanced guest experience
A memorable keepsake extends the journey far beyond disembarkation — on the wall, on the table, on the phone.
Organic social reach
Guests proudly share personalized CruiseMaps — carrying your ship and itinerary into their networks.
Stronger brand loyalty
Your brand remains part of the guest's memories long after the voyage — authentic, voluntary, lasting.
Brand-true representation
Your ship appears as a lovingly crafted illustration — never as a random stock photo. With your approval before use.
Zero effort on your side
One photo permission is all we need. We handle illustration, production, shipping and support.
A partner who knows cruising
Built by cruise enthusiasts and travel journalists — not by a print-on-demand factory.
Premium option
White-label route maps
For cruise lines that wish to go further: CruiseMap can render route maps in your own corporate map style — matching the colors and route presentation your guests already know from your brochures, your website and on board. The map becomes yours; our craftsmanship stays behind it.
Suitable for pre-cruise, onboard and after-cruise guest communication.
White label applies to the map presentation. Ship illustrations follow our uniform quality standard.
A low-risk way to start
Start with one ship, one route, one measurable pilot
A pilot lets both sides evaluate guest interest, sharing behavior and operational fit before considering a broader rollout.
Suggested pilot setup
CruiseMap prepares the product, route setup, ship illustration and campaign materials. The cruise line selects the communication channel and provides the required approvals.
1. Select one ship and one suitable voyage or route family.
2. Create and approve the ship illustration.
3. Offer the free CruiseMap via email, app, QR code or onboard communication.
4. Evaluate agreed KPIs and guest feedback together.

Our vision
Together, let's create the world's largest collection of personalized cruise memories.
Every guest. Every ship. Every itinerary. Every memory. We would be glad to explain the illustration process, prepare a first example for your fleet or discuss a focused pilot.
