Picster for cruise lines
Shore photography, delivered before they sail
Professional photography ashore, arranged around your itinerary. Talk to our team about port coverage, scheduling and delivery options.
No onboard space. No crew berths. No equipment aboard.
What it's worth
Model a season
Set your own figures. This is the number worth forwarding to whoever signs.
What could this look like for you?
Adjust the assumptions to explore an illustrative estimate.
An illustration, not a quote or a revenue guarantee. Attach rate is the share of eligible guests or bookings buying photography. Average booking value is an assumption, not a package price. Availability, commercial terms and delivery options are agreed with each partner.
How it runs
Three things happen. None of them are yours.
They book from home
Your pre-cruise email offers a shoot in a named port. The booking arrives with your reference, the ship and the cabin.
We meet them ashore
A photograph of the meeting point goes to the guest that morning. The shoot finishes ninety minutes before all-aboard.
The gallery reaches the cabin
Partner shoots are prioritised in our editing queue, so it lands the same day — not after they've flown home.
Built for you specifically
Four things that exist only because of cruise
All-aboard scheduling
You send the all-aboard time. We never offer a slot that finishes inside your buffer, and the buffer is yours to set.
Cascade cancellation
Mark a port skipped and every booking against it cancels in one transaction, free of charge, with the guest notified.
Itineraries as real objects
Register a sailing with its ports. Bookings attach to a port call, so a schedule change moves them rather than orphaning them.
Cabin delivery
Where your onboard systems allow it, the gallery is pushed to the cabin TV or guest app under your branding.
One guest
Cabin 8412, eleven hours in Barcelona
She books from her sofa
Your pre-cruise email offers a shoot in Barcelona. Ninety seconds on her phone. The booking reaches us with your reference, her cabin and the ship.
A photographer confirms
Allocation runs on photographer score, not availability roulette. Marc has shot a hundred and forty jobs in Barcelona. He confirms within the hour.
She gets a photograph of where to stand
Not an address — a picture of the spot, a map pin and a first name. The shoot is set to finish at 10:30 because all-aboard is 17:30.
Thirty minutes at Park Güell
Marc knows which entrance avoids the queue. She is back aboard by half twelve with the rest of her day intact.
The gallery is on the cabin television
Edited and delivered the same day, under your branding, while she is still aboard and still telling the next table about it.
One statement
Every shoot across every sailing, your booking reference on each line. Nothing upfront, no minimum, no reconciliation project.
Common questions
The four things revenue teams ask first
“What if a shoot overruns and a guest misses all-aboard?”
It cannot. Slots that finish inside your buffer are never offered, and the photographer is briefed on the berth and the walk back. A shoot that doesn't safely fit is refused at booking, not discovered on the day.
“A port gets skipped. Are we refunding hundreds of guests by hand?”
No. One action cancels every booking attached to that port call, free of charge, with each guest notified. No queue at guest services.
“Do our guests end up dealing with your brand instead of ours?”
Only if you want them to. Booking page, confirmation and gallery can carry your livery and your domain. We stay entirely behind the curtain.
“How do we know the photography is any good across that many ports?”
500 photographers, allocated by a live score built from delivery record, reviews and reshoot rate. 60,000 shoots delivered. If one genuinely misses, we reshoot at our cost.
