Porthole Cruise Magazine, the cruise industry’s publication of record and cruise lovers’ window to the world for the last 17 years, has perfected another way to bring its inspiring content to readers. Beginning in March, Porthole Cruise Magazine will offer a digital version of the same great magazine, giving more first-time and veteran cruisers a way to enjoy the ultimate cruise guide.

“Porthole has passionately and thoroughly covered the cruise industry and the world for almost two decades,” says publisher and editor-in-chief Bill Panoff. “A digital edition is just the right step in us staying on trend with technology and offering the finest quality to both Porthole readers and to those who may yet share our passions.”

The digital edition will be free to Porthole subscribers, who have long appreciated the magazine’s award-winning photography and features about destinations, voyages, ship reviews, onboard cuisine, entertainment, spas, shopping, and more.

Porthole will partner with BlueToad, one of the largest digital providers of commercial and specialty publications, to make the content as user-friendly and impactful as it is on the printed page. Additionally, apps for iPhone and iPad will be available on the Apple Newsstand.

Readers will be able to access the digital version at porthole.com, where they can also manage their subscriptions and even give the gift of Porthole. Moving forward, Porthole will continue to add features such as video to further give its devoted readers the nuanced content they appreciate and value.

“Our digital edition not only expands the magazine’s reach, but also complements the way we reach cruise lovers through social media,” says Panoff. “Porthole’s Facebook and Twitter pages already have a devoted following, and with our YouTube channel and Tumblr blog constantly expanding, there’s never been a better time to come aboard.”
