Cruise Ship Tycoon

Design ships. Sail the seas.

Cruise Ship Tycoon is a free game for iPad about running a cruise line. You start in 1965 with one small ship and build a fleet. Design your own ships room by room, launch them, send them to ports in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic, and watch the guests live on deck. Storms, ice, fires and pirates can find your ships, and you decide what to do.

It has two ways to play. Captain mode is calm and simple, with four big buttons. Tycoon mode opens the whole company: prices, crew, money, the stock market and rivals. You can switch at any time.

The game is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. It needs no account and never connects to the internet. Read the privacy policy.

Questions people ask

Where is my saved game? On your iPad, inside the game. Nothing is sent anywhere, so a game cannot be moved to another device, and deleting the game deletes its saves.

Which iPads does it run on? iPads running iPadOS 26 or later, in landscape.

The game feels slow. Close other apps and restart the game. Large fleets with many guests on deck are the most work for the iPad.
