Do you feel your cruise photos are boring? Uninspired? If you are looking for ways to improve your photo-taking on your cruises, we have some cruise photo ideas for you!

Cruise photography is a lot of fun for me. As a result, I have taken thousands and thousands of photos on cruise ships. To make it simpler to give you ideas, I will focus on photo-taking onboard the ship only, not excursions. Along the way, I will include a few photos from our cruises to show you what I mean.

Good Cruise Photos

Everyone takes many of the same photos of certain things on cruise ships; it’s just what we do. When we are new to cruising, we get onboard, all excited, and pull out our phones or cameras to snap quick photos of everything in sight. Half of them end up in the virtual trashcan, but some are definitely worth keeping.

Here are some of the most common cruise photos that I see on social media, a good start to creating memories of your cruise through photographs.

• A ship’s life preserver
• Your feet as you sit in a lounge chair, facing the ocean
• The view from your balcony
• You holding a cocktail at every bar on the ship
• Sailaway selfie
• Titanic pose
• Dressed up for a formal night
• Towel animals
• Sitting by the pool, cocktail in hand
• Your dinner/lunch/breakfast plate
• Posing with the captain
• Photo of the pilot boat
• Sunrise/sunset/moon over the ocean
• Suitcases left in the hallway on the last night
• Standing at the railing on the deck, looking at the ocean
• Photo of the ship while docked
• Sitting in a hot tub, sipping a frozen drink
• On the pier with the ship in the background
• The wake of the ship

Better Cruise Photos

If you want to up your game a little, you will have to get a little more creative. Try to tell a story with your photos, or take an interest in small details. Wait for a good moment.

Here are some better cruise photo ideas:

• Photos of details of your cabin or architectural details on the ship such as grand atriums
• Photos taken from above or at an extreme angle of your meal
• Photo of the ship taken from a tender boat
• Selfie with your new port in the background
• Selfie with a performer in costume after a performance
• Selfie while sweaty and red-faced from having fun
• The view framed by a porthole
• A view of your port, taken from above on your balcony
• A selfie in the mirror while getting your hair done at the spa
• A shot of the length of a buffet station, taken from an angle in Portrait mode on an iPhone
• A shot of a crew member posing for you
• You with your favorite waiter, bartender, stateroom attendant or other crew member, being silly
• Photos with you and your new friends you met onboard
• Take a pic of somewhere dramatic on the ship at night
• When you have an overnight in port, take a pic of the ship from the pier at night

Action Cruise Photos

Capture a moment, a memory, on your cruise while doing or watching something fun. Find a fun activity on the deck, give it a try, and have your partner take photos. Then switch!

• Lining up a putt on the mini-golf course
• Climbing a rock wall
• Navigating an obstacle course
• Crew members in action
• Crew-versus-passengers pool volleyball game
• The water stirred by the ship’s azipods
• Cavorting under falling water in the kids’ splash zone
• Try to get a photo of a whale or porpoise
• Yourself or someone else going down a water slide

Artistic Cruise Photos

Artistic photos take more time, sometimes a little setup, and a bit of imagination. You have to think outside the box. Try some of these cruise photo ideas:

• Looking out a porthole window, taken from behind
• Breakfast on the balcony with the sunrise in the background
• Pretending to hold up the setting sun, taken from behind
• Toasting with champagne, hands only, in front of a sunset
• Look up and take photos of small details
• A lineup of colorful beach chairs on the deck
• The atrium ceiling, taken while centered below
• Get up before dawn and take photos while the ship is entering port
• A pensive photo of your partner, taking in the scenery from your balcony or the deck
• A tableau photo while dining
• Tell a story with your photo

Brand-Specific Photos

Some photos can only be taken on certain cruise lines’ ships. For instance, a selfie with the funnel on Carnival. Since we primarily cruise on Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line and they are what I know best, here are some brand-specific cruise photo ideas to try when sailing with them.

Celebrity Cruise Photos

Celebrity Cruises is known for its extensive art collection, scattered throughout its fleet, and its entertaining Martini Bar. Consider taking pics such as:

• Posing in front of the iconic statue on the pool deck
• At Eden, a photo of the chef while plating
• The bartenders’ show at the Martini Bar, especially tossing bottles and shakers
• Posing with fun ship art
• Take a selfie with the X on the smokestack in the background
• Have a picnic on the Lawn Club and take selfies
• Have someone take a photo of you in one of the fun, wacky chairs aboard
• Have someone take a photo of you in one of the hammocks in the solarium

NCL Cruise Photos

Norwegian Cruise Line is known for its massive atrium chandeliers, its theme parties, and its topside activities loved by kids and adults alike. Take photos that tell the viewer without words exactly where you are, such as:

• Silent disco photos
• Atrium chandeliers
• Atrium staircases
• Zipping around the track in a go-kart
• Pose on the atrium staircase on a formal night
• Bowling a game in the bowling alley

Tips For Taking Better Photos Onboard

If you love taking photos, you probably want to get better at it. I know I do. Here are some general suggestions for getting better photos on your cruises.

Golden Hour Magic : Make the most of the soft, warm light during the “golden hour,” which occurs shortly after sunrise and before sunset. This light can add a touch of magic to your photos, especially when capturing outdoor scenes or portraits.

Rule of Thirds : Divide your photo into a grid of nine equal sections (like a tic-tac-toe board) by imagining two horizontal and two vertical lines. Position key elements along these lines or at their intersections to create a visually pleasing composition.

Foreground Interest : Incorporate interesting foreground elements to add depth and dimension to your shots. This could be a railing, a glass of a beverage, or even a decorative feature on the ship.

Leading Lines : Use natural lines on the ship’s deck, railings, or architecture to guide the viewer’s eye through the photo. These lines can create a sense of movement and draw attention to focal points.

Candid Moments : Capture genuine moments of joy and interaction among guests and crew members. Candid shots can showcase the authentic experiences that guests have on the cruise.

Reflections : Take advantage of reflective surfaces like glass windows, mirrors, or even water to capture intriguing reflections that can add a unique twist to your photos.

Experiment with Angles : Don’t limit yourself to eye-level shots. Try shooting from different angles—high above, down low, or even from unusual vantage points—to create dynamic and interesting compositions.

Symmetry and Patterns : Look for symmetrical compositions or repeating patterns in the ship’s architecture or design. These can create visually pleasing and harmonious images.

Details Matter : Zoom in on the intricate details that make the cruise ship special. These could be ornate decorations, fine textures, or even the little touches in the cabins.

Utilize Negative Space : Sometimes, giving your subject some breathing room within the frame can create a sense of elegance and sophistication. Negative space can also help direct the viewer’s attention to the main subject.

Capture Emotions : Focus on capturing emotions and expressions. Whether it’s a guest’s excitement, wonder, or relaxation, these shots can add a human touch to your image.

Editing Enhancement : After capturing your shots, consider using photo editing tools to enhance the colors, contrast, and overall look of your images. Just remember to maintain a natural and authentic feel.

Be Patient : Sometimes the perfect shot requires patience. Wait for the right moment to capture that perfect sunset, a playful interaction, or an interesting composition.

Remember that practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to experiment and try new techniques. Over time, you’ll develop your own style and a keen eye for capturing the essence of cruising.

Final Thoughts On Fun Cruise Photo Ideas For Your Next Trip

I have been on a few cruises where I sat back and took very few photos, trying to be in the moment instead, and I have since regretted it. Photos are our way of preserving memories, an instant in time we want to hold on to.

So, take those pictures! And on your next cruise, try to go further with your photography. But most of all, have fun with it.

Happy cruising!

I spent $2,000 for 7 nights in a 179-square-foot room on one of the world's largest cruise ships. Take a look inside my cabin.

• I booked a stateroom on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, one of the biggest cruise ships.
• For $2,000 a week, the 179-square-foot cabin had a private bathroom, a king-size bed, and a view.
• I thought I'd feel cramped in the room, but it had everything I needed and left no space unused.

In April 2022, I cruised on board Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas . At the time, it was the largest cruise ship in the world , but the title has since been replaced by Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas .

During my voyage, the ship sailed to Roatán, Honduras; Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico; and Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas .

For $2,000, I spent seven nights in an ocean-view stateroom on deck eight. The cruise was on sale, as it was originally priced at $3,000. Take a look inside the 179-square-foot space.

My room was a mid-tier cabin at the front of deck eight.

I booked a mid-tier room — a step above interior staterooms , which have no window. It's a category below staterooms with a balcony , and two steps below a suite.

My cabin was on the same deck as Central Park, an outdoor space with 20,000 plants.

I thought it was the most relaxing area on the ship, so I enjoyed being close by.

When I stepped inside my stateroom, I was surprised at how big it felt.

Right away, I thought the cabin made great use of a small space.

To operate most of the electricity in the room, I had to insert my room key into a slot on the wall.

I appreciated the energy-saving system.

On one side of the room, I had a mirror and a desk with several outlets to charge electronics with USB, American, and European ports.

I thought the desk was useful for eating, as well as storing daily flyers about the day's events.

Next to the desk, a set of drawers included a cabinet with a minifridge inside.

The desk drawers were mostly empty aside from a hair dryer, which I didn't end up using.

Across from the desk, I had a couch positioned in between two closets.

Inside each closet, I found a rack of hangers, shelving, and a small safe. I thought it was plenty of space for a weeklong journey

Next to the couch and desk area, a small bathroom used clever storage hacks, like placing the trash can and toilet paper under the counter.

In the bathroom, there were two glasses, a bar of soap, and a two-in-one hair and body wash.

At the top of the shower, a pullout clothing line was useful for drying my bathing suits.

Each night, my stateroom attendant replenished towels and brought flyers and schedules for the next day.

Sometimes, the towels were folded creatively to look like animals.

I noticed that my king-size bed at the back of the room was actually two twin beds pushed together.

All Royal Caribbean cabins come with this configuration, according to its website , so they may be separated for additional guests. I often woke up in the crevice.

A large flat-screen TV was mounted across from the bed with storage hooks below.

Skinny nightstands on either side of the bed held lamps, charging ports, and a room phone on one side.

Because I booked an ocean-view room, I was able to look out over the front of the ship from a window above my bed.

The window was equipped with an electronic shade that could be opened during the day for grand views and closed when I was ready to sleep.

While I thought the room might have been a tight space for a couple with a lot of luggage or a family, it was just right for me.

And watching the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea from the comfort of my room was the best part.

Suri Cruise celebrates her 18th birthday in rainy NYC as estranged dad Tom works in London

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Suri Cruise was photographed celebrating her 18th birthday in New York City while her estranged father, Tom Cruise, worked abroad in London.

According to pictures obtained by Page Six, the birthday girl stepped out in the rainy weather with a friend on Thursday. The pals chatted as Suri held a pink umbrella over their heads.

The teen, who is also the daughter of Katie Holmes, wore jeans, a denim jacket over a brown shirt and black shoes. She carried a blue backpack and held what looked like a birthday gift in her hand.

A day before Suri’s big day, her father, Tom, was spotted overseas in London filming a new project.

The “Mission Impossible” star, 61, flashed a wide grin as he arrived at a helipad and piloted a jet.

Tom and his youngest daughter have not had a close relationship over the past years. In fact, a source exclusively told Page Six earlier this month that the movie star has not seen Suri since 2012 (they were last seen together at Disney World that summer).

“Katie has safeguarded Suri and she’s a devoted mom,” the insider told us. “This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn’t lived her life in public.”

Holmes, who filed for divorce from Tom when Suri was only 6 years old in June 2012, previously told Glamour that she wanted to keep her daughter out of the public eye “because she was so visible at a young age.”

The 45-year-old also revealed in November 2013 court docs that she filed for divorce from Tom “to protect Suri from Scientology ,” a religion that is often referred to as a cult.

While it is believed that Holmes signed several non-disclosure agreements to prevent her from speaking about her marriage to Tom and the Church of Scientology, Suri will be free to discuss the religion and her father now that she is legally an adult.

Though it’s unclear whether the teen will publicly speak about her father, she won’t be joining Scientology anytime soon.

“Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be … she deserves love and sympathy,” former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder told Page Six.

Tom Cruise is the perfect gentleman as he helps fallen paparazzi at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party

The paparazzi was knocked to the ground at the entrance to a private member's club in mayfair, london.

Mission: Not Impossible!  Tom Cruise was a willing agent on Saturday April 20 as he helped a photographer who had fallen in the shuffle as Tom arrived at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party. 

Amid the melee, the photographer was knocked to the ground at the entrance to Oswald's, the private member's club in Mayfair, London. 

Pictures show that Tom was quick to lend  a helping hand, keeping a firm hand on the photographer's arm as he helped him to his feet, and keeping hold of him to ensure he was safe. "Are you okay?" Tom could be heard asking in video footage, before collecting items on the floor that had also been dropped. 

Victoria's lavish 50th birthday party was attended by A-listers including her former Spice Girls' Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, and Melanie Brown. 

But Victoria herself, who wore a semi-sheer mint-green gown, was forced to arrive on crutches as she is still recovering from a broken foot. 

The Beckhams have been friends with Tom for over a decade; in 2015 David, Tom and Guy partied together to celebrate David's then-recently-launched whisky brand, Haig Club. "Here's a pic of me with my dear friends Guy Ritchie and Tom Cruise from my Haig Club dinner this past Sunday. #HaigClubLondon," David wrote alongside the selfie.

The party looked incredibly swanky and HELLO! has all the best photos of the guests, including Guy Ritchie and Jackqui Ainsley, Gordon Ramsey and wife Tana, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham, and Eva Longoria and husband Jose Baston. 

Ahead of Victoria's party, however,  the fashion designer took to Instagram  and shared a gorgeous carousel of photos featuring her husband David, and their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, dressed to the nines for the event. 

Even though all the Beckhams shone in the photo, it was budding fashionista Harper that completely stole the show in an ivory satin dress that came from her mother's current fashion collection. 

The Beckham boys looked suave in black tuxedos, while Cruz stood out from the crowd in an eye-catching white number.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Suri Cruise, 18, looks unfazed on milestone birthday amid ‘rift’ claims with dad Tom Cruise

Share this with

Suri Cruise seemed unbothered as she celebrated her birthday in style in New York , amid questions over her bond with dad Tom Cruise .

The teenager, who is the only daughter of the Top Gun actor and Katie Holmes , became an official adult when she turned 18 on Thursday, April 18 – making us all feel absolutely ancient.

The milestone day was met with claims that she has a rift with her father , who is currently filming for a new project in London – but the birthday girl didn’t seem fazed about the speculation.

In fact, she looked effortlessly cool as she made her way around New York on her big day, stopping off a flower stall to pick up a few bouquets.

She was spotted clutching a coffee and a Magnolia Bakery bag of treats while perusing their offerings.

Suri donned a gold cropped vest and baggy jeans, paired with a burgundy cardigan and black trainers.

She was the spitting image of her mom as she kept a denim jacket draped over one arm and a bulky backpack slung over the other shoulder.

Katie, 45, welcomed her first child with the Mission: Impossible lead, 61, in 2006, shortly before they tied the knot.

Katie famously filed for divorce in a bombshell move at the end of June, 2012, with the former couple signing a settlement a few weeks later – details relating to their split are still shrouded in secrecy, but she was reportedly granted full custody of their child.

While Suri has always shared a close bond with her mom, there have been questions raised about her relationship with her dad.

Although neither have spoken publicly about this, an insider has now claimed that there is a rift between the Hollywood star and his youngest child.

‘Tom does not exist to her,’ a source told DailyMail.com . ‘Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer.

‘He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything. 

‘She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.’

According to the outlet, Tom will no longer be required to pay child support to his ex-wife now that Suri has reached the age of 18, which may sever one of their last remaining ties.

The youngster was unveiled to the world as a newborn baby on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2006, but her mom has since taken steps to shield her from the spotlight as much as possible.

‘What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,’ she told the outlet.

‘I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.’

Despite this, she has allowed Suri the opportunity to follow in her footsteps in the industry over the years – and invited her to sing on her recent projects, Rare Objects and Alone Together.

‘I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her. But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people,’ she continued.

‘And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly. That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she’s my heart.

‘It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this.’

The former Spice Girls member and fashion designer celebrated her 50th birthday earlier this week, and marked the milestone on Saturday, April 20, with a fabulous (and star-studded!) bash.

Victoria arrived at the party — which was held at Oswald’s, a members-only club in London — in a sheer mint green gown, and walked on crutches, which recently became a surprise fixture in her closet due to a foot injury .

She was, of course, flanked by other members of the tight-knit Beckham clan, including husband David Beckham , daughter Harper , 12, and her three sons: Brooklyn , 25, Romeo , 21, and Cruz , 19.

The Beckham family let their mom shine on her special day, dressing formally but keeping their birthday bash attire to a muted, black-and-white palette.

Also photographed outside the venue were two of Victoria's fellow Spice Girls!

Geri Halliwell-Turner (a.k.a. Ginger Spice) arrived to the party with Posh Spice in a strapless white dress with bow details.

Mel B (Scary Spice herself) stepped out in a bright red gown, and seemingly nodded to her Spice Girls days — and specifically, her affinity for animal prints — with a pair of leopard-print heels and a matching shoulder bag.

Another guest from the music world was Marc Anthony , who arrived at the birthday bash hand-in-hand with wife Nadia Ferreira .

Hollywood's elite also showed out for Victoria’s celebration, and leading the pack was none other than Tom Cruise , who donned a tux and bow tie for the occasion.

The Mission: Impossible star was photographed grinning ear-to-ear as he strolled into Oswald’s.

Eva Longoria and husband José "Pepe" Bastón were also seen dressed to the nines at the celebration, along with Jason Statham , who was joined by his fiancée, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley .

As a longtime friend of both Victoria and David, Gordon Ramsay was also on the guest list.

The celebrity chef arrived at the club to celebrate Victoria — and brought his wife, Tana Ramsay , as his date!

The day before her birthday, Victoria shared a message of reflection on Instagram, writing, “As I get ready to step into 50 (in heels, of course!), I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone.”

“Blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content. Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come,” she continued. “My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision.”

In the same post, the designer said her career pivots — from Spice Girls star to fashion designer to beauty mogul — have taught her to “dream big.”

“I believe that you can be many things,” she wrote. “A pop star, a mother, a wife, a designer… My passion has always been to dream big, then dream even bigger! Believe in yourself first — everyone else will follow.”

She also shouted out David for his support throughout their 25 years of marriage, as well as their four children, writing that “if you’re really lucky, you’ll find someone who believes in you even more than you do.”

“@DavidBeckham, I’m forever grateful for your unconditional love and support, and for our beautiful children. @BrooklynPeltzBeckham, @RomeoBeckham, @CruzBeckham, #HarperSeven, you complete me,” she wrote. “I’m so proud, so in awe of the kind, hard-working, talented individuals you are all becoming.”
