I'll add a couple more views: Roy I do recall now having some misgivings about how to list this port on our unseen ports list since it's nowhere near its home country. I listed it according to its geographic location as if it were a part of Canada rather than the country in Europe that administers it. Accuracy should have prevailed by listing its actual country over listing it based on what it's near. This is not St Pierre, Newfoundland but rather St Pierre, France. I think these photos were taken October 4, 2012 from Crystal Symphony. Details can be found on page 8 of @rafinmd's blog On and off the Symphony 9/5 to 11/18 (with a Cunard prelude).

sfred Posted August 29, 2021 #3833 Share Posted August 29, 2021 54 minutes ago, Host Hattie said: I guess this might be the Tasman Peninsula then ? Correct! The nearby port is Port Arthur, Tasmania, and the cruise-by is the Tasman Peninsula. The photo was taken from the Devil's Kitchen cliff observation platform, looking south towards Patterson's Arch. The wife and I were there on a road trip when we visited Port Arthur, only a month or so prior to the tragic shooting on 28 April 1996. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted August 31, 2021 #3834 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This might be my last cruise-by photo contribution of places I've been to. In northern hemisphere summer of 2004, the wife and I spent a wonderful fortnight in this area, doing coastal walks and enjoying the countryside. It is a part of the world we'd dearly like to get back to soon. Both photos are public domain from wikimedia commons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In June of 2004 we rented a National Trust cottage in the South Cornwall coast village of Lansallos, and had a wonderful fortnight walking parts of the Southwest Coastal path, and stopping in the various towns for pub lunches. Is there anything better than a proper pint in a UK country pub? Well, maybe a pint in one of the three Cunard Golden Lions, but it is a tough comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from a Crystal Symphony Antarctica (Buenos to Miami) cruise in 2016 with a bit of a strange Cunard Connection. I started the trip with 2 Cunard Transatlantics (QM2 to Southampton, QV to Ft. Lauderdale). Not really a fit to the big picture except that it got me out of the Northeast before flying to Miami. Turned out to be a very wise move because Baltimore got about 30 inches of snow the day I would have left. Roy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted September 6, 2021 #3840 Share Posted September 6, 2021 At this point I have relatively few ports with a Cunard connection and disclosing that might give the port away. There will be a few more but the Cunard Connection will be revealed after the port i s identified. Here's my next one Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my next one Roy Great to see there is still some interest in this thread with two new contributions today! I'll give this first one a try. I figured this was probably somewhere in Southeast Asia. After coming up empty looking in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, I found a match in China. I think this is Sanya, China. I'll be interested to hear about the Cunard connection to this port. I'm seeing only one call to Sanya by the current Cunard fleet. That was in February 2015 during QM2's world cruise that year.

Not quite sure how it got on Cunard's list since big cruise ships aren't allowed there. I suppose it was an overland tour where people got off say in Lima and rejoined the ship a couple of ports later like Guayaquil. I was there on a 20-some passenger ship with International Expeditions in 2009. Roy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
