Prior to boarding the Zaandam for Antarctica we went to Patagonia . Talk about social distancing , we didn't see a gas station for 3 hours driving from the airport to our first stop . And what a stop it was .

To all of you photographers....Thank you for making my day!  My husband and I have completed 45 cruises and looking at these outstanding photos brings back fond memories.  Hopefully when our mandatory "shelter in place" (southern Oregon) is over we can look at cruising again.

Just curious.  Where were you when that photo was taken?  In a boat?

But the photo in Hamilton was taken from a tour boat returning to the public dock in downtown.

Speaking of Hamilton, this is the Veendam leaving Hamilton as seen from the deck of the Crystal Serenity, tendering south of Kings Wharf.    It was on the first half of a B2B where I sailed transatlantic on Serenity and then a Baltic cruise on the Prinsendam.  You can bet after I saw the Veendam docked in Hamilton while tendering in I booked it for the next year once on the Elegant Explorer.
