Please excuse the hyperbole, as there are certainly a few good cruise line twitter lists out “there.” However, most seem to be somewhat incomplete, listing just the most popular brands; and gosh darn it… we just wanted one to call our very own!
Instead of individually following each cruise line, you can simply follow this twitter list for convenience. Our list contains both ocean and river cruise lines from small to large. Some cruise lines are generally not marketed in North America and therefore do not have an appropriate English language twitter account. In the event a cruise line had multiple twitter accounts, the account which was most relevant to the North American marketplace was used.

The most glaring lack of a twitter account was a North American or U.S. based Celebrity Cruises twitter account. Hey guys… if you need help, surely your big sister Royal Caribbean will lend a hand. If not, we will be more than happy to barter some social media training for a nice Mediterranean cruise!
The following cruise line had twitter accounts that were either inactive or appeared to not be legitimate:
And the following cruise lines, typically smaller niche operators, had no evidence of a twitter account (same barter deal… man, the things we will do to get a free cruise!):
- Blount Small Ship Adventures
- Captain Cook Cruises
- Classic International Cruises
- Croisieres de France (France)
- French Country Waterways
- Hebridean Island Cruises
- Imperial River Cruises
- Kristina Cruises
- Louis Cruises
- Marine Link Tours
- Nomade Yachting Bora Bora
- Orion Expedition Cruises
- Pearl Seas Cruises
- Saga Cruises
- Sea Cloud Cruises
- Star Cruises
- Steps of Paul Coastal Cruises
- Victoria Cruises
- Voyages of Discovery
It is more than likely that we have missed a cruise line or typo-ed a link… please feel free to comment below and it will corrected a.s.a.p.

Great list for cruisers to follow. It’s amazing there are still companies out there that haven’t tapped into the whole social media/twitter outlet.

Hi Amy! I am so happy to hear you found the list helpful. It is somewhat difficult to keep on top of all of the different cruise lines, so if you see a mistake or omission… please do let me know. Thank you!

I find it very interesting how little many of the major cruise lines utilize Twitter- most of their business comes from Travel Agents + the cruise community- and we are here everyday to help them promote their message and interact. They are missing a strong component on future business! And yes, Social Media for a Med Cruise
