Individual all-in-one solution for exceptional cruises

Passenger ships are becoming more innovative and the number of services provided on board is only increasing. How to handle everything properly if you manage a whole fleet?

Keep your business running smoothly with shipment management software even on the high seas. Designed specifically for the cruise industry, it helps shipowners or maritime agencies to achieve operational excellence.

At your request, we will create a system tailored to your specific needs. Manage cruises, satisfy passenger expectations, and grow your income with technology.

That’s how it works

A Ship Management System is a software package for day-to-day cruise ship management. Our solution helps maritime businesses to streamline workflow and relieve administrative burdens on the crew.

HotelFriend aims to deliver a customized solution that meets your specific needs. We respect your vision & put together individual packages to give you a competitive edge.

Organize perfect cruises

Make every cruise feel special for both passengers and crew. Start the journey with fast check-in with no processing delays during embarkation. Manage all essential information including reservations, passenger flow, issue tracking, and onboard summary in a centralized way & keep your team productive at all times.

Always get paid on time

Create invoices for tour operators with just a few clicks at the end of the cruise. Let HotelFriend take care of invoicing and always get paid for provided services timely and in full.

Enable seamless border crossing

Late preparation of the passenger manifest can slow down reporting to customs and delay the ship at the border. To avoid wasting your precious time, create electronic manifests automatically in the system. Comply with international regulations and mitigate any risks related to paper manifests.

Get maximized accounting transparency

Increase your financial awareness by keeping each incoming and outgoing transaction under control. Create budgets, track on-board cash flow, and achieve the utmost accounting transparency that drives business results.

HotelFriend F.A.Q.

HotelFriend F.A.Q.

What kinds of vessels can I manage with this system?
Our system can help you manage cruise ships, yachts, or ferries. The main modules of the solution have been designed specifically for cruise ship management. Here, you can check in passengers, enter all cruise details, create manifests for customs and receive payments for services. However, if your vessel requires some other special features, our team can develop them for you.
Does this solution really work well both online and offline?
Yes, indeed! The Ship Management System can work both with and without an Internet connection. In order for the program to run smoothly in any situation, we will set up local servers right on your vessel. When the ship reaches the Wi-Fi access, all information from the local system will be automatically synchronized with the cloud.
How long does it take to install this system?
It depends. Basically, installing the system on a ship takes from three days up to a week.
Does your program support passport swipers?
We are working on enabling guest data input via the Thales passport swiper. Thanks to this integration, administrators will be able to create and fill a new guest card automatically. This feature is currently under testing.
Can I transfer data from the systems that I used before?
Yes, transferring all the necessary data from other systems to HotelFriend is quick and painless. You can do this either by importing files or by uploading everything to the cloud.
What if something goes wrong?
HotelFriend is an ISO-certified company, so we conduct lots of tests before delivering software to the end client. This meticulous approach guarantees quality and continuity of workflow. In addition, our support team is always in touch, so you can get help at any time.
