Cruisebound launches ‘Search by Map’, redefining the way travelers discover cruises | News
Cruisebound, the online cruise agency that is redefining how travelers discover and book cruises, is excited to unveil “Search by Map,” a dynamic new feature that turns cruise planning into a more intuitive, visual experience. The tool allows travelers around the world to navigate through an immersive map interface, putting ports and itineraries right at their fingertips.
Map Search allows users to view available sailings from their departure ports, arrivals or ports of call. Selecting a location will instantly unlock all available cruises and itineraries connected to that destination. Instead of relying on static filters or lists, travelers can plan their trips directly from the map, making discovery faster, easier and more intuitive.
“Map search is the latest way we’re delivering on the Cruising Made Simple promise,” said Claire Gibbons, COO at Cruisebound. “Many customers may not even be aware of all the places they can go on a cruise or what itineraries are available to them. Map search is an intuitive way to discover your next cruise vacation and further sets Cruisebound apart from other travel agencies.”
“We approached Search by Map as both a design and technical challenge,” says Johan Villamil, the project’s lead software engineer. “Cruise itineraries are inherently complex, and our goal was to uncover that complexity in a way that feels seamless and immediate. The map allows users to visually explore their journey before booking it. The result is a faster, more dynamic way for travelers to connect ports, routes and real sailings.”
The new feature provides greater visibility of global itineraries, allowing travelers to discover trips they might not have otherwise considered. For cruise line partners and affiliates, it introduces a differentiated distribution experience that drives deeper engagement at the destination level.
