Second call off this season

The second cruise ship postponement of the 2011 season sadly happened today as the unseasonable bad weather claimed the scheduled visit of Oceania's Insignia.

The vessel arrived at the south harbour limits late morning but due to excessive gusts of wind decided to head to her next port of call Geiranger in Norway.

Harbour watchers should look out for this ship next year as she will arrive under new colours as the Hapag Lloyd charter Columbus 2.

Costa Pacifica visit round up

Click image to enlarge

The visit of the Costa Pacifica marked a new record for the largest liner when she arrived yesterday morning from Kiel.

The 114,500grt vessel carrying some 3,000 passengers made it to anchor in the inner harbour as favourable weather conditions prevailed. The passengers were entertained by Lerwick pipe band on the pier, along with the long standing meet and greet service provided by Shetland tourism.

The ship was originally meant to sail for Reykjavik at 13:00hrs but stayed in port to nearly 16:00 to allow more time ashore.

This is the largest vessel due this year on her one and only visit, however she will return twice in the 2012 season which promises another busy summer.

Record breaker

Click image to enlarge

In Lerwick today is the 113,000grt Crown Princess en route from Invergordon to Iceland.

For a few days at least she becomes the record holder for the biggest ship to visit the port.

She is anchored out in breiwick bay (the outer south anchorage), but at around lunchtime she ventured into the inner anchorage thus becoming the biggest ship to lie at anchor there also. This position also sped up the tendering process with tenders only having a quarter mile ride to the ship instead of a mile.

Also in Shetland waters today is the small expedition cruise ship Clipper Odyssey which is visiting the island of Mousa. Yesterday she completed visits to Papa Stour and Foula on Shetland's west side.

Less than summery weather

The 1st June truly hasn't felt like it with heavy persistent drizzle and strong winds disrupting one of Lerwick's three planned visits by cruise liners today.

Firstly the 7.30am arrival of Expedition on her last visit of the season was followed some three hours later by the MSC Poesia, which despite entering the outer harbour sadly had to abort her call due to wind & swell conditions. She continued on her way to Kiel, Germany.

The final caller in this afternoon on her maiden call to Shetland is the Ocean Nova which will be in overnight until her departure to Thorshavn.
