Unlimited plans for Cruise & ferry
One plan for each trip length, cheapest total first. An unlimited plan has no per-gigabyte figure, so the price per day is shown alongside.
No unlimited regional plan is tracked for Cruise & ferry yet.
What data costs at sea
The median plan here works out at $19.99 a gigabyte, against $2.66 for an ordinary country plan — about 7.5× the price. Both are typical (median) prices from the current stored snapshot, and they change.
That multiple is the whole decision. A plan for use at sea is worth buying for messages, maps and checking in — not for streaming video. Allowances here are sold in hundreds of megabytes rather than tens of gigabytes, which is a fair reflection of what the connection is for.
In port you are on an ordinary local network, so a normal country eSIM covers the days you are ashore and usually costs a fraction of this. Many people buy both.
Before you buy
Check the plan covers your itinerary's sea area — these are sold per region, and a Caribbean plan is not a Mediterranean one. At sea, it only works when the ship’s own network is switched on, which is usually once the ship is away from the coast, and it can be off near port.
The provider count above describes the current tracked maritime catalogue. Confirm that the plan supports your ship, route and onboard network; a country eSIM should not be assumed to work at sea.

At least one listed regional plan includes each destination below. Coverage differs between plans; check the exact country list before buying.
Questions before you buy
What is the cheapest listed Cruise & ferry eSIM?
The lowest listed total price in the Cruise & ferry catalogue is $8.99 USD from GigSky, with 7 days of validity. The price-per-GB and price-per-day tables use different sorting rules, so this plan may not be their first result. Confirm its coverage and allowance before buying.
Does every Cruise & ferry eSIM cover the same places?
No. The regional label groups catalogues for comparison; each plan can include a different country or service-area list. A country shown elsewhere on this page is not a guarantee that every plan includes it.
Is a Cruise & ferry plan cheaper than separate eSIMs?
There is no fixed break-even number of countries. Compare the regional plan’s total price and shared allowance with the country plans needed for your exact itinerary and trip length.
How are capped and unlimited regional plans compared?
Fixed-data plans are sorted by price per GB. Unlimited plans are sorted separately by price per day. These unit prices help compare plans, but you still need to check the total charge, validity, coverage and any speed restrictions.
