A bespoke service from The Cruise Lab

Forever Voyage

Your cruise, kept forever.

A beautiful, private website that tells the story of your voyage — day by day, port by port. Your photos, your moments, woven into a keepsake you and your family can return to for years. Not a slideshow. A journal that lasts.

See a real one

Here's one I made after sailing the Norwegian fjords — eight days, six ports, the whole story. This is exactly the kind of site I'll build for your voyage.

The sample is my own trip, shared with permission. Names have been changed and faces blurred out of respect for privacy — your site is yours alone, and never shown to anyone without your say-so.

What you get

A day-by-day journal

Every day of the sailing written up as a story — the ports, the sea days, the little moments — laid out beautifully around your photos.

Scrapbook pages

The moments that deserve their own page — a shore excursion, a special dinner — given room to breathe, with every photo and clip from it.

Downloads for the family

All the photos and videos bundled up, ready to download — for prints, framing, or just keeping. One link the whole family can use.

Your own web address

A clean, private link that's yours — easy to share with family, or keep just for the two of you. Works on any phone, tablet or laptop.

Private by default

No public listing, no adverts, no sign-ups. It's not searchable and not shared with anyone — only people you give the link to will ever see it.

Hosted and kept

Built to last and kept online, so it's there whenever you want to look back — a voyage you can revisit long after you've unpacked.

How it works

1

Send me your voyage

Your photos and videos, the ship and dates, the ports you visited, and any notes or memories you want included. However you've got them — a shared album, a folder, a Dropbox link.

2

I build your journal

I turn it into a Forever Voyage site — writing the day-by-day story around your best photos, laying out scrapbook pages, and packaging the downloads. You'll get a preview to check first.

3

You get your link

Once you're happy, your private site goes live at its own web address. Share it with the family, or keep it close — it's yours to revisit whenever you like.

Prices are a guide for a typical sailing and include building, hosting and keeping your site online. Currencies are converted at approximate rates. Very large photo collections or extra chapters may nudge a standard site into bespoke — I'll always tell you the price before any work begins.

Start your Forever Voyage

Tell me about your cruise and I'll come back with a plan and a price. There's no cost to ask, and nothing to pay until you've seen a preview you love.

Questions

How do I get my photos to you?

Whatever's easiest for you — a shared phone album, a Google Photos or iCloud link, a Dropbox or WeTransfer folder, or even a memory stick in the post. Once you get in touch I'll point you to the simplest option for your setup.

Who can see my site?

Only the people you share the link with. Forever Voyage sites aren't listed anywhere, aren't searchable on Google, and carry no adverts or tracking. It's private by default — yours to keep close or share as you wish.

How long does it stay online?

Your site is built to last and kept online so you can revisit it for years. If anything ever needs to change, you can just get in touch.

Whose cruise is the example?

My own — a trip I took with my mum around the Norwegian fjords. I've shared it as the sample with her blessing, with our names changed and faces blurred. Your own site is never used as an example without your explicit permission.

How long does it take to build?

Usually a week or so from the point I have your photos and notes, depending on how much there is. Bespoke voyages take a little longer. You'll always see a preview and sign it off before it goes live.
