OnTheJourney Posted November 26, 2019 #602 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I found Ushuaia to be an absolutely beautiful port of call. Such dramatic scenery. Did you get your "end of the world" certificate or have something stamped at the post office?? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never sailed these waters in my professional career and I do not have any access to the sailing charts on the bridge. If you go to the various ship tracking websites you might be able to see the past track. Now if this was the Canadian/Alaska inside passage I could tell you all about it. As is, I am learning as I go.🍸 Have been following on Cruisemapper and Marine Traffic. And of course the gorgeous scenery on the Panomax. I have this handy Patagonian & Fuegian Channels Chilean Fjords Cruise Chart which is not an official navigation chart but a handy aid for following the track ships take through those waters. Thank you for all your great comments and stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheJourney Posted November 27, 2019 #610 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Hi Jeannette...truly hate to disappoint you...but this is Bird Island- no penguins here. Mostly cormorants, plus a few other kinds. Still, interesting to see and made for a nice picture! From a distance, and with so many of them, it does almost look like there could be penguins mixed in there.

Old seadogs never get lost 🙂🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted November 27, 2019 #613 Share Posted November 27, 2019 If interested in tracking the ship's progress using the actual AIS, this is the website I use https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:4924418/mmsi:257179000/vessel:VIKING SUN While offshore it does not provide a position, unless you pay for the satellite service. The other cruise website extrapolate the ship's position, providing an estimated position. When you use this website it advises how current the posted position is and provides real past tracks. Personally, i don't use any of the cruise websites, as I can look at Google Maps and extrapolate where the ship is just as easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that question is directed toWard me, we have 3 Viking Ocean Cruises between May, 2020 and May, 2021. None of these are to SA. Argentina was our most “Southern” SA destination (not a cruise) As we were told so many times on the Sun, 3 more cruises=packing & unpacking 6 more times, and heaven knows how many airports/TSA screenings to deal with, so I guess we should of just remained on board The Sun...hahaha-Jeannette😌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheJourney Posted November 27, 2019 #620 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Ah...Bergen....another quite interesting port! Would have liked to spend a bit more time there. Our Northern Lights cruise back in March left out of Bergen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking at 3 Ocean cruises also - Jan. '21 (B2B) inaugural sailing on the Venus followed by Iberian Explorer, then might use our compensation vouchers in '21 as well.

Canadian Sunset Posted November 27, 2019 #625 Share Posted November 27, 2019 This photo was taken at the beginning of the cruise. The gentleman on the right is doing the entire cruise. The one with the shorter hair is my husband. He won’t cruise for more than four weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
