bluemarble Posted November 8, 2022 #4276 Share Posted November 8, 2022 That is indeed Santa Margherita (aka Santa Margherita Ligure), Italy. I have a few more webcam images (mostly distant view) of Cunard ships I can post. I'll wait until after your port day tomorrow in Trondheim before I post another, @sfred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted November 10, 2022 #4278 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Here's another webcam view from my collection of a port we've already seen. This one is not as difficult as it may appear at first glance. This scene may not be immediately recognizable but there is enough information in the image to identify it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted November 10, 2022 #4279 Share Posted November 10, 2022 So close.... and yet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted November 10, 2022 #4280 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Perhaps a missed Norwegian port. But I can remember what they were. Alesund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is Andalsnes, Norway. There are matching buildings on a street called Vollan between Strandgata and Jernbanegata. If correct that implies the ship is QV. Perhaps the recent voyage that @photosg was on? Although I think that voyage departed Andalsnes after dark so perhaps this @bluemarble webcam was taken on a summer voyage. QM2 was southbound offshore of Alesund and Andalsnes earlier today but the forecast high winds and sea state did in fact result in a rather bleak day and missed port. So near but so far.

Rare Colin_Cameron Posted November 10, 2022 #4282 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Beat me to it. Having been there here earlier this year I thought I recognised that little plaza in the foreground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Andalsnes and that image was captured during QV's most recent departure on 14 October 2022 at 17:42. I'm glad to hear the image is recognizable on it's own, @Colin_Cameron. I figured it might take some investigation into the location of the "Rauma Hotel". That image is courtesy of the folks at the Bakgården Thai restaurant in Andalsnes where the webcam is located.

bluemarble Posted November 15, 2022 #4284 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Let's try this one. This is another webcam capture showing a port we've already seen with a small portion of a Cunard ship visible at the far left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're finally back home after the long flights from London. I noticed AIDAbella also in Trondheim on the day that QM2 was there, 9 November, but AIDAbella was moored at the opposite end of town to the west of QM2, and is a very different colour and shape. I didn't notice the ship in the webcam. I've looked through my photos from the day but I don't have anything that covered that pier. So at a rough guess based on the the hull colours I'll say one of the Hurtigruten ships? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good guess the other ship is a Hurtigruten ship. That's what I thought at first too but the livery doesn't quite match Hurtigruten. I hadn't bothered to record the name of that other ship at the time so it took some detective work of my own yesterday to figure it out. It's a ship for a relatively new cruise line also operating Norwegian coastal itineraries similar to Hurtigruten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. It happens to be Havila Capella although it could just as well have been her sister ship Havila Castor based on the evidence in the image. They both operate Bergen-Kirkenes itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that won't stop me from trying to identify a new “Where in the World?” photo from my hotel room. I think this one is the Bosporus (Bosphorus). Turkey.
