About the .CRUISE domain

What is the .CRUISE domain?

The .cruise is a single-registrant brand (.brand) domain, delegated to the root zone on October 21, 2016, in the name of Viking River Cruises (Bermuda) Ltd., with the registry's technical infrastructure managed by Afilias.

As with most brand extensions on this list, .cruise is reserved exclusively for the corporate use of Viking River Cruises and the brands tied to its digital ecosystem, with no registration process open to individuals, travel agencies, or other cruise lines outside the company. It's important not to confuse this extension with .cruises (plural), a completely separate generic domain, sponsored by Donuts and now managed by Identity Digital, which is open to anyone or any company related to cruise lines, travel agencies, vacation services, or even private charter boats, on a strict first-come, first-served basis with no specific requirements.
