Festival Cruise Find your festival cruise community, discover fellow attendees and start connecting before you even board. Music Festival Join the community for your specific festival and edition, discover other attendees and make more of the experience together. More shared experiences will be activated over time. Discover People Discover people who are part of the same experience as you. Explore profiles, bios and interests to understand who resonates with you and decide who you'd like to connect with. Instead of leaving every interaction to chance, OceanMingle gives you a tool to discover the opportunities already around you. Messaging Continue the conversation through private messaging with other eligible members of your community. Start talking before your experience begins or connect while you're there. Events & Meetups Create your own meetup or discover activities created by other members of your community.

Safety Features OceanMingle includes safety tools designed to provide additional support while participating in shared experiences, including: • Lost Child Alert • SOS • QR Profile Verification • User Blocking & Reporting These tools are designed to complement — not replace — official event, venue, cruise or emergency services. One Account. Multiple Shared Experiences. Your OceanMingle account stays with you as you move between experiences. Only one community is active at a time, but you can switch between your available experiences and communities whenever you want. Want to join a different type of experience? Simply select Find Your Next Experience from your Profile to return to the Experience Selector and choose your next community. Your Experiences. Your Memories. When an experience ends, it becomes part of your History. Return to your past experiences to revisit the photos and memories associated with the communities you've been part of. Cruise Passenger & Crew Communities Within the Cruise experience, passengers and crew have separate communities. Passenger and crew profiles, messaging and Dating remain separated, creating dedicated environments for each community. Digital Crew Tipping Passengers can recognise and thank crew members through OceanMingle's digital tipping feature. Digital tipping does not enable private passenger-to-crew messaging. Built for Shared Experiences OceanMingle brings social discovery into the experiences people are already sharing. Today: Cruise • Festival Cruise • Music Festival More shared experiences will be activated over time. Connection is our destination.
