For the duck cruising community
Give your cruise duck a story worth following
Duck cruising is the game where cruisers hide rubber ducks on the ship for other passengers to find. DuckCruising adds the part that was missing: a number, a QR code, and a public trail so you can see everywhere your duck has been — just like tracking a banknote.
How duck cruising traceability works
Register your duck
Add a photo, the ship and the date you're hiding it. We give you a unique code and a QR code to write or stick on your duck.
Hide it on the ship
Tuck it away somewhere fun for the next passenger to discover during their cruise.
A stranger finds it
The finder scans the QR code or enters the code on DuckCruising and logs where and when they found it.
The journey keeps going
They can keep the duck, leave it for the next person, or hide a brand-new duck of their own — and the trail keeps growing.
Why add a code to your duck?
- See every ship and cruise line your duck has visited over time.
- Get the fun of an unexpected notification when someone finds it.
- Build a public, shareable travel log for a $2 rubber duck.
- Join a growing worldwide network of duck cruising fans.

What is duck cruising?
Duck cruising (also known as a cruise duck hunt or "ducking") is a tradition among cruise passengers on lines like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line and MSC: travelers hide small decorated rubber ducks around the ship for other guests to discover, then re-hide for the next person. DuckCruising turns that tradition into a game with memory — register a duck, print its code and QR, and watch its journey unfold across ships, itineraries and oceans.
