Explorations Central available online...?

[NavyCruiser]

While watching YouTube video on tour review of Nieuw Statendam, saw that it has Explorations Central on the 12th Deck, with 3 interactive touch sensitive table boards/screens where we can do research on the ports we're visiting.

 

Does anyone know if that same info is avail online anywhere, so that we can do further advanced planning?

 

Thanks,

The screens are sometimes limiting, its a combination of what you will find on the website for your cruise with more information pulled from their partners at https://www.afar.com/ for some reason this website is giving me 404 errors.

 

The most useful thing about these tables is that there should be a destination specialist who will hold court over one of the screens and answer your port questions at set times throughout the day usually after the port guide talk in the main theatre. I found them to be a massive wealth of impartial information not just a gateway to selling an excursion.

 

if you are looking for a similar experience but on your phone get maps.me, this was recommended by the Holland America guide onboard in 2019 recently i've seen some bloatware on the app but nothing to be concerned about, use it with in combination with the downloadable maps function on google maps.

 

if your cruise is in europe i'm enjoying the content from Rick Steves https://www.ricksteves.com/
