Image credits and source notes.

The Cruise Atlas uses a mix of local stock-style travel imagery and selected ship photographs from reuse-friendly public sources. We do not copy images or logos from commercial cruise directories unless terms explicitly allow it.

Cruise News illustrations

The Miami, Australian harbour and river-cruise illustrations used in Cruise News were created originally for The Cruise Atlas on 18 October 2026. They are illustrative artwork, not photographs of the named ships or news events. No third-party news photography or cruise line logos are used in these illustrations.
