Make New Friends on the Voyage!

Guests can have full control over who they connect with, so they can share their details via email, phone number, or a QR code designed for your cruise. Every guest keeps full control of their privacy and availability.

Share Stories Along the Way

Messagenius Offers The Best Instant Messaging Solution

Keep Everyone on Blast

Create Channels for Guest Services

You can set up a different #channel for each department to maximize your service efficiency. The concierge staff can have their own chat to monitor guest comfort while the catering team uses their chat to plan the next meal.

Respond Quickly to Incidents

You can form an incident room to create a response team instantly. Create the room, add the users, and send the first message. It’s that simple, that fast, and secure communication could be critical when something goes wrong.

F.A.Q.s

Can I call for emergencies in Messagenius?

While you cannot directly call emergency numbers like 911 through Messagenius, we offer customizable interfaces for single-gesture actions that can be used for quick requests (e.g., call a doctor on board, call a waiter, call security on the ship).
