Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the embed widget really free?

Yes. The embed widget is free for personal and commercial use. We ask that you keep the one-line CruiseShipTracking.com credit that the generator places just below the widget.

Does it slow down my site?

No. The iframe is lazy-loaded, meaning it only fetches data when the widget is visible in the viewport. It has no impact on your page's initial load time or Core Web Vitals.

Can I track a specific ship?

Yes. Search for any cruise ship by name in the builder. The widget centers on the ship's latest known AIS position and follows it as new data arrives every 30 minutes.

What CMS platforms does it work with?

Any platform that supports custom HTML: WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, Ghost, Shopify, Notion, HubSpot, and plain HTML files.

Can I change the map theme?

Yes. The Widget Builder offers light and dark map themes. Choose whichever fits your site design.
