Find people, plans, and connection within the unique rhythm of life at sea.
Ship life is a world of its own. Rivelo is the social space where crew share posts, swap stories, and find people who truly get it — matched by itinerary, not distance.
Built for life on the water
A social platform designed around the realities of crew life — share what's happening on deck, stay connected across contracts, and find your people at every port.
Crew Feed
Your own social feed, built for life at sea. Share photos from port days, post updates from the ship, and see what crew across the fleet are up to — all in one scrollable stream.
The Magic Layer
Our Itinerary Engine surfaces crew who share your world — same ship, same port, same stretch of contract. GPS doesn't work at sea. Shared schedules do. Find your people before you even dock.
Icebreaker Bubbles
When you connect with crew, floating bubbles surface what you have in common — "Both visiting Cozumel Monday!" or "Same Marine department." Tap one and it writes your opening message instantly.
Standby Lounge
Between contracts and back home? The Standby Lounge keeps you in the community — stay in touch with crew, plan upcoming contracts, and stay visible to people heading to the same ships.

Frequently asked
Rivelo is a social community built exclusively for cruise ship crew. Share posts, follow other crew members, discover people by itinerary, and connect through real shared experiences. Think of it as the social network that actually understands ship life — with optional features to connect one-on-one if you're open to it.
Rivelo is open to all cruise ship crew members aged 18 and over — across all departments (Marine, Entertainment, Guest Services, Food & Beverage, Hotel, and more) and all major cruise lines.
When you set up your profile, you add your contract dates and your ship's port itinerary. Rivelo's Magic Layer then surfaces crew whose timelines overlap with yours — same ship, same port on the same day, or same contract window. The more overlap, the more you have in common before you've even said hello.
Absolutely. Your profile is only visible to verified crew members within the Rivelo community. We never sell your personal data to third parties. Read our Privacy Policy for full details on how we handle your information.
Rivelo is free to download and use. Core features — creating a profile, posting to your crew feed, adding your itinerary, and connecting with other crew — are available to all users. Premium features may be introduced in future updates.
When you're on leave or between contracts, you automatically switch to the Standby Lounge — a special mode that shows other crew members currently on standby or planning future voyages. You can stay connected with your maritime community even while you're back home.
Your crew is already here.
