CruiseMapper Scraper on Apify (actor ID: parsebird/cruisemapper-scraper) scrapes cruisemapper.com for cruise itineraries, ships, and ports. Call it with the ApifyClient: `client.actor("parsebird/cruisemapper-scraper").call(run_input={"searchType": "cruises", "destination": "caribbean", "maxResults": 50})`. Key inputs: searchType (string: "cruises" | "ships" | "ports", default "cruises"), startUrls (array of CruiseMapper URLs, overrides filters), destination (string select, cruise region slug, default "caribbean"), departurePort/portOfCall/shipName/cruiseLine (string filters), cruiseLength (string select: "1-2"|"3-5"|"6-10"|"11-14"|"15+"), startDate/endDate (YYYY-MM-DD), priceMin/priceMax (integer USD), portName (string, Ports mode), includeUpcomingArrivals (boolean, Ports mode), maxResults (integer, default 100, 0 = unlimited). Output per item depends on recordType ("cruise" | "ship" | "port"): cruises return id, title, shipName, shipUrl, cruiseLine, departureDate, returnDate, durationNights, departurePort, returnPort, priceFromUsd, currency, and a ports[] array of port-by-port stops with dates and times; ships return name, cruiseLine, passengerCapacity, crewCapacity, yearBuilt, dimensions, grossTonnage, decks, cabins, flagState, builder, shipClass, sisterShips, formerNames, owner, operator, and futureItineraries[]; ports return name, country, region, latitude/longitude, summary, and upcomingArrivals[] when requested.

What does CruiseMapper Scraper do?

CruiseMapper Scraper is a CruiseMapper API alternative that turns cruisemapper.com's cruise finder, ship database, and port schedules into structured JSON, CSV, or Excel data — no browser, no manual copy-pasting. Use it to build a cruise price tracker, compare itineraries across cruise lines, monitor ship deployment, or pull port call calendars for a specific destination.

The actor has three search modes:

• 🚢 Cruise Itineraries — search CruiseMapper's cruise finder by destination, departure port, port of call, ship, cruise line, length, date range, and price. Every cruise record includes the full port-by-port schedule (arrival/departure times, country, port URL).
• 🛳️ Ships — look up a single ship by name, or pull an entire cruise line's fleet (e.g. every Royal Caribbean or Carnival ship) with full specifications and each ship's published future itineraries.
• ⚓ Ports — look up cruise ports by name or browse the full port directory, with region, coordinates, a descriptive summary, and (optionally) the port's upcoming ship-arrivals calendar for the next 3 months.

You can also skip the filters entirely and paste Start URLs — CruiseMapper cruise-search result pages, ship pages, or port pages — and the actor will scrape them directly.

Runs on the Apify platform, so results are available via API, can be scheduled to run daily or weekly, and can feed directly into Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and 1,000+ integrations. Every new Apify account gets free trial credits to test the actor before paying for usage.

How much does it cost to scrape CruiseMapper?

CruiseMapper Scraper uses Pay Per Event (PPE) pricing — you only pay for records the actor actually returns, not for compute time. Each cruise, ship, or port pushed to the dataset fires one record-scraped event.

Your Apify plan	Price per 1,000 records
Free	$1.45
Bronze	$1.35
Silver	$1.25
Gold	$1.15

A run that collects 1,000 cruise itineraries costs about $1.15–$1.45 depending on your plan — no separate compute charge. Every new Apify account starts with free trial credits, so you can test the actor at no cost.

• Feed cruise and port data into a travel-industry dashboard or BI tool

Is it legal to scrape CruiseMapper?

Yes. CruiseMapper Scraper only collects publicly available data that anyone can see by visiting cruisemapper.com. Scraping publicly accessible web data is generally legal, as established in cases such as hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn — see Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping for details. Respect CruiseMapper's terms of use and avoid republishing scraped data in ways that infringe their rights. This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CruiseMapper.

FAQ

Does this actor need a CruiseMapper account or API key? No. It scrapes publicly available pages and returns structured data — no login or API key required on CruiseMapper's side.

Why is priceFromUsd sometimes null? CruiseMapper doesn't publish a price for every itinerary. The actor returns exactly what the source page shows rather than guessing a value.

Can I search by exact ship name in Cruise Itineraries mode? Yes, via the shipName filter, but CruiseMapper's own cruise finder index doesn't always include every ship's current sailings. For guaranteed coverage of a specific ship's itineraries, use Ships mode or paste its ship page URL into Start URLs — the ship's own itinerary table is always complete.

Can I combine multiple filters? Yes — destination, departure port, port of call, cruise line, length, dates, and price range all combine (AND logic) in Cruise Itineraries mode.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify's Scheduler to run this actor daily, weekly, or at any interval, and monitor price or itinerary changes over time.

How do I access results via API? Every run's dataset is available through the Apify API and the apify-client libraries for Python and JavaScript (examples above).
