CruiseMapper Scraper

Pull cruise itineraries, ship specs, and port schedules from CruiseMapper at scale — with per-port arrival and departure times, multi-region voyage filters, full vessel specifications, and optional upcoming-arrivals schedules per port. Built for travel agencies, cruise content creators, route analysts, and travel-data teams who need fresh CruiseMapper data without paying for stale APIs or building a parser from scratch.

Why This Scraper?

• Three search modes in one actor — cruise itineraries, passenger ships, and ports. Flip the What to Scrape dropdown to switch; results land in one dataset keyed by a recordType discriminator (cruise, ship, port) so downstream tools can fan out into three tables.
• 23 cruise destination regions — Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, Norwegian Fjords, Arctic and Antarctica, Galapagos, Hawaii and Panama Canal, plus river itineraries on the Nile, Amazon, Rhine, Danube, and Mekong.
• Per-stop arrival and departure times — each cruise row includes a structured ports[] array with date, port name, arrival time, departure time, country flag, and the link to the port's detail page. No positional stop_1, stop_2 columns; one clean array per cruise.
• Eight cruise filters wired through one input — destination region, departure port, port of call, ship name, cruise line, length tier (1–2 / 3–5 / 6–10 / 11–14 / 15+ days), date range, and price ceiling. All optional.
• Full ship specifications — gross tonnage, year built, length and beam in meters, deck count, passenger and crew capacity, builder, ship class, flag state, sister ships, and former names. Plus a built-in futureItineraries[] array of every published voyage on that vessel (over 100 entries for active liners).
• Port pages with precise lat/lon — every port returns coordinates pulled from CruiseMapper's inline map widget, plus region, country, subtitle, and a clean summary paragraph.
• Opt-in upcoming-arrivals schedule — toggle includeUpcomingArrivals on Ports mode and each port returns up to 100 scheduled ship calls across the next 3 months: date, ship, cruise line, arrival time, and departure time.
• Paste any cruisemapper.com URL — drop cruise-search results, ship detail pages, or port detail pages straight into startUrls and the actor auto-detects the record type. No URL building required.
• Pay only per result — flat per-row pricing, no compute meter on top of the result count.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchType	select	Cruise Itineraries	Choose the type of CruiseMapper data to collect. Cruise itineraries are the most common choice. Options: Cruise Itineraries, Ships, Ports.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste CruiseMapper URLs directly (cruise search results, individual ship pages, or individual port pages). When provided, these override the filter fields below.

Cruise Filters

Optional — narrow the cruise search. Ignored when scraping ships or ports, and ignored when Start URLs are provided.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
destination	select	Bahamas - Caribbean - Bermuda	Cruise destination region. 23 options including Mediterranean, Alaska, Norwegian Fjords, Arctic-Antarctica, Galapagos, Hawaii-Panama, plus river itineraries on the Nile, Amazon, and European, Asian, French, and Russian rivers.
departurePort	string	null	Filter by embarkation port (e.g. "Miami", "Barcelona").
portOfCall	string	null	Filter to cruises that include this intermediate port.
shipName	string	null	Filter by ship name. Works in all three modes.
cruiseLine	string	null	Filter by operator (e.g. "Royal Caribbean", "Carnival", "Viking").
cruiseLength	select	null	Voyage duration tier. Options: 1-2 days, 3-5 days, 6-10 days, 11-14 days, 15+ days.
startDate	date	null	Earliest departure date (YYYY-MM-DD).
endDate	date	null	Latest departure date (YYYY-MM-DD).
priceMin	integer	null	Only include cruises at or above this per-person price (USD).
priceMax	integer	null	Only include cruises at or below this per-person price (USD).

Port Filters

Used in Ports mode only.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
portName	string	null	Filter ports by name (e.g. "Miami", "Barcelona").
includeUpcomingArrivals	boolean	false	When scraping ports, also fetch each port's upcoming-ship-arrivals schedule. Each port is capped at the first 3 months from today and 100 arrivals total to keep runs predictable.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of results to collect. Set to 0 for unlimited. The actor never trims mid-page — it stops requesting new pages once the cap is reached, so the final count may slightly overshoot.

Output

Every row carries a recordType field — cruise, ship, or port — so you can route cleanly downstream into separate tables.

Tips for Best Results

• Pick the right mode first. cruises is the highest-volume mode (15 itineraries per page across the whole catalog). Switch to ships for fleet analytics and ports for terminal-level planning.
• Always set a destination or a date range in Cruises mode. A naked cruise search will default to Caribbean — explicit filters cut runtime and return a tighter dataset.
• Use the URL input for surgical pulls. When you only need one ship's full spec sheet or one port's arrival schedule, paste the URL directly instead of running a filtered listing.
• Leave includeUpcomingArrivals off for broad port runs. Each port with arrivals enabled adds up to three extra requests for the monthly schedule. Turn it on only when you need the schedule data, or run with a small maxResults to keep cost predictable.
• Use cruiseLength to find world cruises. The 15+ days tier surfaces every grand voyage, world cruise, and trans-ocean repositioning sailing on CruiseMapper.
• Mix sources in startUrls. A single run can combine cruise-search URLs, ship pages, and port pages — they all land in the same dataset, tagged by recordType.
• Treat priceFromUsd as a floor. CruiseMapper reports the lowest published interior-cabin price; balcony, suite, and concierge fares are typically 1.5–3× higher.
• Filtering by ship or port name scans the full CruiseMapper catalog. Runs with a shipName or portName filter walk every listing page until a match is found — expect 1–3 minutes of runtime. For a single known ship or port, paste its URL into Start URLs instead for an instant targeted pull.

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 results — pay only for what we successfully return. No compute charges, no per-run fees, no minimum.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.15

A "result" is any row in the output dataset — a cruise, a ship, or a port. Platform fees (compute, storage) are additional and depend on your Apify plan.
