Stay connected from ship to shore

One Cruise eSIM keeps you connected onboard and automatically switches to a local mobile network when you arrive at port. No changing eSIMs, no manual switching, and no wondering which network to use next.

Globe icon

One eSIM for every trip

Install your eSIM once and keep using it trip after trip. It works across 290+ cruise ships and 200+ countries, so you don't need to install a new eSIM every time you travel.

Ship icon

Ready in minutes

Everything happens inside the GigSky app. Buy your plan, install your eSIM, and get ready to connect without waiting for a QR code or changing APN settings.

Check circle icon

Know exactly when it works

No surprises once you're onboard. Before you buy, we clearly explain that Cruise eSIM coverage begins once your ship is about 12 nautical miles from shore and switches back to land networks when you're in port. You'll know exactly what to expect before your trip.

Handshake icon

Stay connected together

Need internet for your family or travel group? Buy Cruise eSIMs for everyone under one account, top up their plans anytime, and receive a notification when someone has used 80% of their data. It's an easier way to keep everyone connected without juggling multiple accounts.

Smiley face icon

Share your connection whenever you need

Turn your phone into a hotspot and share your connection with your laptop, tablet, or travel companions. There's no extra charge for hotspot use, giving you more flexibility while you're onboard.
