What is The Port Guide?
The Port Guide is a trusted resource built for the global residential cruising community and world cruise travelers. Our mission is to help you make the most of every port stop, with guides written by real residents, explorers, and local experts.

"We don't just write about ports, we explore them like residents. Every detail comes from boots on the ground."

"I interview locals, test transit routes, and hike the side trails. These guides are field-tested for real-world travelers."

"As a ship resident, I curate experiences with other residents in mind. I look for what's walkable, authentic, and worth it."
