Cruise Travel Toolkit

The tools we actually recommend to every cruiser. Tested across 24 Mediterranean & Baltic ports.

Our Recommendations

Two problems every cruiser faces: staying connected and getting a fair exchange rate. These solve both.

Which Tool for What

Need data at every port?

Get an Airalo or Saily eSIM with a Europe regional plan. One purchase covers all your Mediterranean or Baltic stops.

Worried about port WiFi security?

Saily is backed by NordVPN and includes built-in privacy features — good for coffee-shop WiFi in port.

Want to avoid currency exchange ripoffs?

The Wise card gives you the real mid-market rate at ATMs and shops. No 3-5% foreign transaction fees that most credit cards charge.

We earn a small commission when you sign up through our links. This doesn't affect the price you pay. We only recommend tools we'd use ourselves.
