Hot 25 Startups 2020: Cruisewatch

In a world where seemingly every meta search website promises discounted travel deals, here comes a free next-generation search engine monitoring tool dedicated just for cruises.

Cruisewatch scans more than 25,000 cruise sailings for good bargains, maintains a price history for five years, reads through 250,000 cruise reviews and alerts users when the price drops.

Goals for 2020

"We will enhance our prediction engine regarding accuracy and scope of predictionable attributes. We also want to develop an even more accurate and detailed price prediction and launch a cabin vacancy prediction.

"Our plan is to start forecasting the perfect sailing for each individual customer via an own neural network in cooperation with artificial intelligence scientists from Leibniz University in Hanover, Germany.

"We will also launch a new market beside the U.S. and Canada."
