How It Works
Your ad plays as part of Bluebridge's onboard content programme, appearing in rotation alongside quizzes, destination highlights, café promotions, and voyage updates throughout each 3.5-hour sailing. Passengers see your ad multiple times in a natural, non-intrusive way.
  • Content plays across 30+ advertising screens in lounges, cafés, and bars on both vessels simultaneously.
  • Your ad plays in rotation across more than 50 sailings a week, delivering over 2,000 plays per month.
  • Ads are professionally scheduled and managed. No repetitive loops, no clutter.
  • Audio is not available on onboard screens. All creative should be visually led with clear on-screen messaging.

How much does it cost?
Pricing starts at $2,970/month for a 15-second ad. We also offer 3-month packages with a 10% discount. All pricing excludes GST. See the full rate card above for details.
What ad lengths are available?
 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds. Custom durations over 60 seconds are available on application.
