officially entered service on 29 November 2013. It is the fourth and last ship
of the Holland class. The ships were designed as Ocean Patrol Vessels and are

They also often perform customs duties and keep a grip on fisheries and
environmental protection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> MS Ambition is de nieuwste aanwinst van de
nieuwe Engelse rederij Ambassador Cruise Line. De rederij is de herrijzenis van
Cruise & Maritime Voyages, die door de Coronacrisis failliet ging. MS
Ambition kwam in 2022 bij hun vloot en was voor de eerste keer in Antwerpen te
zien op 19 oktober 2023.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Met in totaal 23 zeecruiseaanlopen en rond 16.000 passagiers was
2023 een mooi cruisejaar. Het lijkt erop dat de cruise-industrie zich na enkele
moeilijke jaren terug gestabiliseerd heeft. Er kwamen 17 verschillende schepen
naar de Scheldestad van 16 verschillende rederijen en in totaal werden er 36
ligdagen geregistreerd.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> MS Ambition is the latest addition to new
UK cruise line Ambassador Cruise Line. The cruise line is the resurrection of
Cruise & Maritime Voyages, which went bankrupt due to the Corona crisis. MS
Ambition joined their fleet in 2022 and was first seen in Antwerp on 19 October
2023.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">With a total of 23 sea cruise calls and around 16.000 passengers,
2023 was a good cruise season. It seems the cruise industry has stabilised

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Met haar paarse livrei is het schip een opvallende
gast in de stad. Door de jaren heen heeft het schip al met 5 verschillende
huisstijlen rondgevaren. In 1999 kwam het schip in de vaart voor Festival
Cruises als MS Mistral. Nog voor haar allereerst reis, of Maiden Voyage, was
het schip eind juni 1999 voor enkele dagen te gast in Antwerpen. Het eerste
nieuwbouwschip van de rederij werd in de Scheldestad voorgesteld aan de pers en
de reisagenten. Op 17 juli startte MS Mistral haar 7-daagse Maiden Voyage vanuit
Genua.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Na het faillissement van Festival Cruises in 2004 werd het
schip gekocht door de Spaanse rederij Ibero Cruceros als MS Grand Mistral. Als
onderdeel van de Carnival Cooperation werd in 2014 besloten dat Ibero Cruceros
volledig zou samengaan met Costa Cruises. Hierdoor werd het schip omgedoopt tot
Costa neoRiviera. Na enkele jaren bij Costa werd het schip doorgegeven aan hun
dochterrederij AIDA Cruises als MS AIDAmira waarvoor het cruises naar Afrika
voer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In april 2022 werd het schip gekocht door Ambassador Cruise
Line. Vanaf september 2022 werd het schip voor 6 maanden gecharterd door de
Schotse Regering om te dienen als tijdelijke onderkomst voor Oekraïense
vluchtelingen in Glasgow. Op 11 mei 2023 werd het schip uiteindelijk gedoopt in
Newcastle. Op 19 oktober 2023 kwam het schip na 24 jaar terug naar Antwerpen,
dit keer voor de eerste keer als MS Ambition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Oorspronkelijk zou MS Ambition het cruiseseizoen van 2023
afsluiten met haar aanloop op 9 en 10 december. Op het laatste moment werd
echter beslist om het schip op 12 en 13 december opnieuw naar de Scheldestad te
sturen. Bij het tweede schip van de rederij, MS Ambience, werd tijdens een
gepland werfbezoek in Bremerhaven schade ontdekt aan een schroefas waardoor het
schip tot begin januari in het droogdok moet blijven. Om de gedupeerde
passagiers tegemoet te komen werden de cruises van MS Ambition aangepast. Er
werd beslist om Hamburg in de volgende cruise te vervangen door Antwerpen.
Hierdoor heeft MS Ambition maar liefst 3 keer achterelkaar heen en weer gevaren

striking guest in thr city. Over the years, the ship has sailed around with 5
different house styles. In 1999, the ship entered service for Festival Cruises
as MS Mistral. Even before her Maiden Voyage the ship visited Antwerp for a few
days at the end of June 1999. The cruise line’s first new-build ship was
presented to the press and travel agents at the Scheldt Quays. On 17 July, MS
Mistral started her 7-day Maiden Voyage from Genua.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Following the bankruptcy of Festival Cruises in 2004, the
ship was bought by Spanish cruise line Ibero Cruceros as MS Grand Mistral. As
part of the Carnival Cooperation, it was decided in 2014 that Ibero Cruceros
would fully merge with Costa Cruises. As a result, the ship was renamed Costa
neoRiviera. After several years with Costa, the ship was passed on to their
subsidiary AIDA Cruises as MS AIDAmira for which it sailed cruises to Africa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In April 2022, the ship was bought by Ambassador Cruise
Line. From September 2022, the ship was chartered for six months by the
Scottish Government to serve as a temporary shelter for Ukrainian refugees in
Glasgow. On 11 May 2023, the ship was finally christened in Newcastle. On 19
October 2023, the ship returned to Antwerp after 24 years, this time for the
first time as MS Ambition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Originally, MS Ambition was supposed to close the 2023
cruise season with her call on 9 and 10 December. However, a last-minute
decision was made to send the ship to Antwerp again on 12 and 13 December. On
the cruise line’s second ship, MS Ambience, damage to a propeller shaft was
discovered during a planned visit at the shipyard in Bremerhaven, requiring the
ship to remain in dry dock until early January. To accommodate affected
passengers, MS Ambition's cruises were adjusted. It was decided to replace Hamburg
with Antwerp in the next cruise. <span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">As
a result, MS Ambition sailed back and forth between Antwerp and Tilbury in
England as many as three times in a row.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In totaal wordt 9 miljoen euro uitgetrokken om het
wandelterras, de hangars en de omgeving in ere te herstellen. De originele façades
van de hangars aan de kant van de Jordaenskaai worden volledig gerestaureerd en
de ontbrekende elementen worden nagemaakt in de originele vorm. De
oorspronkelijk kleur, zijnde een midden-grijstint, zal terug zichtbaar gemaakt
worden. De lichtstraten in de daken zullen ook verder opengemaakt worden zodat
het licht de kaaivlakte beter bereikt. Er wordt ook akoestische isolatie
voorzien om het galmen onder de hangars tegen te gaan. Op kaainiveau zullen de
restanten van de oude burchtmuur zichtbaar gemaakt worden tot op een diepte van
2,5 meter. Er zullen ook kleinere exporuimtes en paviljoenen voor de jeugd

onderhanden genomen. De staalplaat wordt tot op het ruwe staal blootgelegd
waarna ze bewerkt wordt en er een nieuwe antislip laag op wordt aangebracht.
De balustrades worden ook vervangen en krijgen bovenaan een houten leunrand. De
grootste verandering wordt de inrichting van het terras zelf. Er zullen
namelijk grote plantvakken met siergrassen, vaste planten en heesters komen. De
plantensoorten die hiervoor gebruikt zullen worden, werden speciaal voor het
zilte klimaat aan de Schelde gekozen. Er wordt ook wateropvang voorzien van de
afdaken, zodat dat regenwater gebruikt kan worden voor de planten op het
terras.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Om het extra gewicht van de planten te kunnen dragen wordt
het wandelterras langs onder extra verstevigd. Naast de planten zullen er ook
extra trappen voorzien worden die de verbinding met de kaaivlakte maken. Het
project kreeg de naam ‘Kaailine’, wat geïnspireerd is op de ‘Highline’ in New
York. Daar werd een oude verhoogde spoorwegbedding omgevormd tot een park.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The terrace itself is also being
thoroughly reworked. The steel sheet will be exposed down to the raw steel
after which it will be treated and a new anti-slip coating applied. The
railings will also be replaced and get a wooden handrail at the top. The
biggest change will be the layout of the terrace itself. There will be large
planting beds with ornamental grasses, perennials and shrubs. The plant species
that will be used for this were specially chosen for the salty climate at the river
Scheldt. Water collection will also be provided from the canopies so that that
rainwater can be used for the plants on the terrace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">To support the extra weight of the plants, the walking
terrace will be reinforced along the bottom. <span lang="DE">In addition to the plants, additional steps will be provided to connect to
the quay terrace. The project was named "Kaailine," which was
inspired by the "Highline" in New York. There, an old elevated

balustrade, toegankelijk zijn voor het publiek. Na de restauratie starten aansluitend
de werken aan de kaaivlakte tussen het Steenplein en het Noorderterras. Het
volledige project staat gepland om opgeleverd te worden in het voorjaar van
2027. Wie foto’s komt nemen van de cruiseschepen zal zich dus de komende jaren
wat moeten behelpen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The North Terrace was closed on Monday,
September 18, for the start of works. The restoration of the hangars and the
walking terrace will last until spring 2025. Until then, only the front part of
the terrace on the side of Het Steen, with the stone balustrade, will be
accessible to the public. After the restoration, works on the quay area between
the Steenplein and the Noorderterras will start next. The entire project is
scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2027. So those who come to take
pictures of the cruise ships will have to search for new photo angles in the
coming years.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36EQzg8cYSlGNALhWDv9e72jLs5fZDIUvpwVjs3R6EBfpUnbuefsw6Eipc105nivdcZ8qSBi1Ebx9ouxZ1rM3YyDGBwvyS_iVDyZzq0YTcK4Q0NVuqk-7AvefSThCv5sMilVq6gbAqZQWRz_9DBdx4-50DYeg_Ftl5bc6qsiHNJmxCH_RTgVlJ52A7o2L/s3840/VO+centraal+deel+noord+-+waterkering.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36EQzg8cYSlGNALhWDv9e72jLs5fZDIUvpwVjs3R6EBfpUnbuefsw6Eipc105nivdcZ8qSBi1Ebx9ouxZ1rM3YyDGBwvyS_iVDyZzq0YTcK4Q0NVuqk-7AvefSThCv5sMilVq6gbAqZQWRz_9DBdx4-50DYeg_Ftl5bc6qsiHNJmxCH_RTgVlJ52A7o2L/w640-h360/VO+centraal+deel+noord+-+waterkering.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">© Tractebel Engineering – Palmbout Urban Landscapes</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">_________</span></p><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="line-height: 13.91px;"><b></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="DE"></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">All images are strictly copyrighted!</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Do not copy without permission!</span></div></div>Cruiseschepen in Antwerpenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17561869517330141767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893998931079168519.post-82248923348755108252023-09-19T10:38:00.003+02:002023-09-20T16:32:09.579+02:00AIDAaura in Antwerpen – Allerlaatste Cruise / Final Cruise<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-align: justify;"><u><span style="line-height: 107%;">NL:</span></u></b><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"> MS AIDAaura van de Duitse rederij AIDA Cruises lag op 18 en

het laatste kleine schip de vloot van AIDA. De drie schepen werden de laatste
jaren ingezet voor het ‘AIDA Selection’ programma. Tijdens die cruises worden
de minder gangbare havens bezocht. Hiertoe behoorde ook Antwerpen. Ondanks het
feit dat AIDA tussen 2010 en 2012 met verschillende schepen van de grotere
Sphinx-Klasse de stad bezocht, werd uiteindelijk door de rederij besloten dat
de schepen te groot waren om Antwerpen te blijven bezoeken. Hierdoor is de kans
klein dat AIDA de komende jaren nog in Antwerpen te zien zal zijn. Het AIDA
Selection-concept wordt wel overgenomen door de andere grotere schepen, maar
verschillende havens zullen daarmee niet meer bezocht kunnen worden.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u><span style="line-height: 107%;">EN:</span></u></b><span style="line-height: 107%;"> After AIDAcara and AIDAvita, the sale of AIDAaura marks the
last small ship leaving AIDA's fleet. The three ships were used in recent years
for the 'AIDA Selection' program. During those cruises the less common ports
are visited. These also included Antwerp. Despite the fact that AIDA visited
the city with several ships of the larger Sphinx-Klasse between 2010 and 2012,
the cruise line eventually decided that the ships were too large to continue
visiting Antwerp. As a result, there is little chance that AIDA will continue
to be seen in Antwerp in the coming years. The AIDA Selection concept will be
adopted by the other larger ships, but several ports will no longer be able to
be visited with it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh06jvgCZjhioC-I1dVVugYwX7mkq3qz_ZglspooN6G3twaK64F_bplBSZEqcWLZ2xTT1DU0emHOwZmDsXYK7rT2Xa4EH7Z7qA_1g9sfkYUm0OlN4iaspkIjuvuH_AhmyVU2i0F8IFsMLnN7hdFClnQxMwZVSXNiNRAh-cfkTgpO9xtqgSL9I3EoPcLV4b6/s1000/DSC_1178.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh06jvgCZjhioC-I1dVVugYwX7mkq3qz_ZglspooN6G3twaK64F_bplBSZEqcWLZ2xTT1DU0emHOwZmDsXYK7rT2Xa4EH7Z7qA_1g9sfkYUm0OlN4iaspkIjuvuH_AhmyVU2i0F8IFsMLnN7hdFClnQxMwZVSXNiNRAh-cfkTgpO9xtqgSL9I3EoPcLV4b6/s320/DSC_1178.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9m5WwahJ_FvDyUdne0PH076KNfxJfvK-eqFG8HhpQJ-qnZhOlBE-asQtwQL2KcZr_uxg6NxTyIr-vgrTBLbBLB9P3JjXzC5cK2VMHmGM9R76l9fFgdDC9tE4yN179Ux4X_uvwIKGvd4OeuDdCP3tUvXKSV3Qa-LkvXa45A-tkMn7BwK2PYHxWrjCuNnIq/s1000/DSC_1286.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9m5WwahJ_FvDyUdne0PH076KNfxJfvK-eqFG8HhpQJ-qnZhOlBE-asQtwQL2KcZr_uxg6NxTyIr-vgrTBLbBLB9P3JjXzC5cK2VMHmGM9R76l9fFgdDC9tE4yN179Ux4X_uvwIKGvd4OeuDdCP3tUvXKSV3Qa-LkvXa45A-tkMn7BwK2PYHxWrjCuNnIq/s320/DSC_1286.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrwJyoHfU8acxPEAuKZld372bdFS6uLSFpz5g4w4-yUXI6VZBiM1dkoj7YzcS7BGfH4zs_xMJjT7gQFN1NLRIINKqN2p8nIhM0rLHYZW8IHaTPOsChwnbiHLyJy_1yI5qsSk91Bs_GYZM_xCQU23Mguxwx7qyq1_1cbLMLHeoaVJKPB56rem_6z257BZ6/s1000/DSC_9846.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrwJyoHfU8acxPEAuKZld372bdFS6uLSFpz5g4w4-yUXI6VZBiM1dkoj7YzcS7BGfH4zs_xMJjT7gQFN1NLRIINKqN2p8nIhM0rLHYZW8IHaTPOsChwnbiHLyJy_1yI5qsSk91Bs_GYZM_xCQU23Mguxwx7qyq1_1cbLMLHeoaVJKPB56rem_6z257BZ6/w640-h426/DSC_9846.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3 Year World Cruise</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u><span style="line-height: 107%;">NL:</span></u></b><span style="line-height: 107%;"> Ondertussen is ook de koper van het schip bekend.

world cruises: one in the spring and one in the fall. The departure port for
the fall cruise was originally Amsterdam, but it was changed to Antwerp for
logistical reasons. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">MS World Odyssey departs from Antwerp on a nearly four-month
long voyage to Bangkok, Thailand. Along the way, 10 different destinations will
be visited where the ship will stay for several days each time. From Antwerp,
the ship sets sail directly for Casablanca in Morocco. After a few stops in the
Mediterranean Sea, it will head for Dubai via the Suez Canal before continuing
on to Southeast Asia via India. You can see the full
sailing schedule on the map below.<span style="color: red;"> </span>If the ship is unable to visit a port

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Uniek aan het schip is dat het momenteel elk
jaar van naam veranderd. Het schip werd 1998 gebouwd als MS Deutschland voor
Peter Deilmann Reederei. Na het faillissement van de rederij in 2015 werd het
schip verkocht. Eind 2015 nam Semester At Sea het schip via charterverdrag over
om er in de wintermaanden schoolreizen mee te organiseren en veranderde de naam
in MS World Odyssey. Vanaf 2016 chartert ook de Duitse rederij Phoenix Reisen
het schip, maar dan in de zomermaanden. Zij laten het schip tijdens die maanden
weer rondvaren als MS Deutschland. Dit zorgt voor de unieke situatie dat de
naam van het schip twee keer per jaar veranderd: in de lente en de herfst. Op
enkele dagen tijd wordt de naam op de romp overschilderd, veranderd de streep
op de romp van kleur en wordt op de schouw het nieuwe logo aangebracht.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Deze unieke situatie zal nog enkele jaren blijven want het
chartercontract van Semester At Sea loopt nog tot minstens 2027 en dat van
Phoenix Reisen tot minstens 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> A unique aspect of the ship is that it
currently changes its name every year. <span lang="DE">The ship was built in 1998 as MS Deutschland for Peter Deilmann Reederei.
After the bankruptcy of the cruise line in 2015, the ship was sold. At the end
of 2015, Semester At Sea chartered the ship to organize their school trips
during the winter months and changed the name to MS World Odyssey. In 2016,
German cruise line Phoenix Reisen also charters the ship, but during the summer
months. They once again rename the MS Deutschland during those months. This
creates the unique situation that the ship's name changes twice a year: in
spring and in fall. </span>Over the span of a few days the name on the hull is
painted over, the stripe on the hull changes colour and the new logo is applied
to the funnel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="DE"><span style="font-family: arial;">This unique
situation will remain for a few more years because Semester At Sea's charter

life-size statues. Everything on board allows you to be immersed in the past
without sacrificing contemporary luxury. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

blijft nu maar twee dagen omdat hun cruise uitzonderlijk begint in Antwerpen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> This is the first time Semester At Sea has
come to Antwerp with MS World Odyssey, but it is not the cruise line’s first
call in the city. Between 2005 and 2014, they were in Antwerp no less than six
times with their previous ship, MV Explorer. Each call spanned several days

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> The World is op veel vlakken een atypisch
schip. Qua exterieur past het schip perfect tussen de cruiseschepen die overal
ter wereld rondvaren, toch promoot de Amerikaanse rederij Residensea het schip
als het grootste private residentiële luxejacht ter wereld. Het is namelijk
niet mogelijk om zomaar een cruise te boeken op het schip. Elk van de 165
residenties aan boord moeten gekocht worden, met uitzondering van enkele
residenties die te huur zijn. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">De residenties verschillen sterk van grootte en prijs.
Residensea vermeldt zelf geen prijzen op hun website, maar in nieuwsartikels
wordt gesproken over prijzen tussen $600.000 en $13 miljoen. Voor dat
prijskaartje krijg je een studio of appartement tussen 27m² en 301m². Voordat
je de aankoop kan doen, moet je wel nog kunnen bewijzen dat je nettowaarde meer
dan $5 miljoen is. Voor het jaarlijkse onderhoud mag je namelijk nog eens 10
tot 15% van de aankoopprijs rekenen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The World is an atypical ship in many ways.
In terms of exterior, the ship fits perfectly among the cruise ships sailing
around the world, yet the US shipping company Residensea promotes the ship as
the largest private residential luxury yacht in the world. It is not possible
to just book a cruise on the ship. Each of the 165 residences on board must be
purchased, except for some residences that are available for rent. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Residences vary greatly in size and price. Residensea itself
does not list prices on their website, but news articles talk about prices
between $600,000 and $13 million. For that price tag, you get a studio or apartment
between 27m² and 301m². Before you can make the purchase, though, you still
have to be able to prove that your net worth is more than $5 million, as you
may calculate another 10-15% of the purchase price for annual maintenance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqMkb2OJS9XZrTXn54ZxXkT9W1jRy8b5zzk7qZGMSeEFALAU-B-KFMriLFqDe8Ahq-ktemzi8OhxMb5prWf6ND4v_ltmUxA36IRnHYec6Mun_ahyCYXTLYZwP9UwY5K6EzEEM288TFOY7VKTLVwDueMvdLf7O3AMzPO9zJndivzVimHFJeOHSooGU0Kymv/s1000/DSC_9041-2%20-%20kopie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqMkb2OJS9XZrTXn54ZxXkT9W1jRy8b5zzk7qZGMSeEFALAU-B-KFMriLFqDe8Ahq-ktemzi8OhxMb5prWf6ND4v_ltmUxA36IRnHYec6Mun_ahyCYXTLYZwP9UwY5K6EzEEM288TFOY7VKTLVwDueMvdLf7O3AMzPO9zJndivzVimHFJeOHSooGU0Kymv/w640-h424/DSC_9041-2%20-%20kopie.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Residensea biedt hun passagiers ook de
optie om zelf mee te beslissen welke havens ze willen bezoeken. De routes
worden twee jaar op voorhand vastgelegd na overleg met de passagiers, kapitein
en de planners. Hierdoor duurt er meestal een aantal jaar voordat het schip
terugkeert naar een bepaalde haven. Sinds de indienstname van The World in 2002
heeft het schip vier keer in Antwerpen gelegen: in 2005, 2011, 2015 en nu in
2023. In elke haven blijft het schip ook meerdere dagen om hun gasten op een
rustige manier de havens te laten ontdekken. Normaal gezien moest het schip in
2020 ook aan de Scheldekaaien liggen, maar dat werd uitgesteld door de
coronapandemie.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> Residensea also offers their passengers
the option to help decide which ports to visit. Routes are fixed two years in
advance after consultation with the passengers, captain and planners. As a
result, it usually takes several years before the ship returns to a particular
port. Since The World was commissioned in 2002, the ship has been in Antwerp
four times: in 2005, 2011, 2015 and now in 2023. <span lang="DE">In each port, the ship also stays for several days
to let their guests explore the ports at leisure. </span>Normally in 2020, the
ship was also supposed to be visiting the city, but that was postponed due to
the corona pandemic.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOw6kD7TqDjqT0qUjMMFL5Qb8dE3rb9EgDJdrGvg-uXopmdlaLu_81VqW9fHtHvjaIx3GZdq2cwOJ4-DHfxukIQVxPLe35mVzI_LfgSvYOdgqJoWYkk6oHuI9Pa5iUFv1H-WiubieFqgMJGHZpb4q3Xwa0eHzY8HbF-WOZQVQtfhPpP1H0ysLQWphz8aAR/s1000/DSC_3426-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOw6kD7TqDjqT0qUjMMFL5Qb8dE3rb9EgDJdrGvg-uXopmdlaLu_81VqW9fHtHvjaIx3GZdq2cwOJ4-DHfxukIQVxPLe35mVzI_LfgSvYOdgqJoWYkk6oHuI9Pa5iUFv1H-WiubieFqgMJGHZpb4q3Xwa0eHzY8HbF-WOZQVQtfhPpP1H0ysLQWphz8aAR/s320/DSC_3426-2.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy2DkgowUIDrc4jUrk70y62f5QHOwPcGU5lluDlNHJp3xyNLK5acO9AJFxxIiuvK0y6RgvYd6AX4FpqdYVzC-lQdgxOFq9Ie2km2BvcbldXimVQBsQbkiy4T99ys70_5v48C_ihYvvXQRCWQc4TTtor3aK9HJyc5erMZCYBzgmAl8ChQnBoKXlULXpxaK6/s1000/DSC_3548-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy2DkgowUIDrc4jUrk70y62f5QHOwPcGU5lluDlNHJp3xyNLK5acO9AJFxxIiuvK0y6RgvYd6AX4FpqdYVzC-lQdgxOFq9Ie2km2BvcbldXimVQBsQbkiy4T99ys70_5v48C_ihYvvXQRCWQc4TTtor3aK9HJyc5erMZCYBzgmAl8ChQnBoKXlULXpxaK6/s320/DSC_3548-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Het interieur van het schip is op veel
vlakken te vergelijken met andere luxecruiseschepen. Er is veel ruimte want aan
boord zijn maar tussen 150 en 200 passagiers, waarvoor een 250-koppige
bemanning klaarstaat. Er zijn ook vier schillende restaurants aan boord die elk
een andere focus hebben. Zo kan er gekozen worden uit de Aziatische keuken,
Mediterrane keuken, Haute Cuisine en een restaurant met vis en zeevruchten. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Wat The World uniek maakt is dat er ook een supermarkt aan
boord te vinden is: Fredy’s Deli Marketplace. Hier vinden de gasten verse
groenten en fruit, kruiden, sausen, snacks en zelfs ijscrème in de diepvries.
Met die producten kunnen ze dan zelf aan het werk in hun eigen keuken. Verbonden
aan de supermarkt is ook nog een bistro waar ontbijt word geserveerd en waar
ook gerechten opgediend worden die gemaakt zijn met de lokale producten van de
streek waar het schip op dat moment aangemeerd ligt. Op een luxeschip mag
natuurlijk ook de wijn niet ontbreken. In een speciale wijnkluis liggen maar liefst
14.000 flessen opgeslagen van 19 verschillende landen. Die worden aangeboden in
de verschillende restaurants, waar de gasten dan de keuze hebben uit 1100
verschillende wijnen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Naast het culinaire aspect heeft het schip ook twee
zwembaden aan boord, twee minigolfbanen, een uitgebreid wellness center, een
theater, een unieke kunstgalerij en zelfs een kapel. Voor de gasten is het ook
mogelijk om per helikopter van en naar het schip gebracht te worden. Op de boeg
is hiervoor een heliplatform voorzien.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The interior of the ship is comparable to
other luxury cruise ships in many ways. There is plenty of space as there are
only between 150 and 200 passengers on board, for whom a 250-strong crew is on
hand. <span lang="DE">There are also four different
restaurants on board, each with a different focus. </span>These include Asian
cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine, Haute Cuisine and a seafood restaurant. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">What makes The World unique is that a supermarket can also
be found on board: Fredy's Deli Marketplace. <span lang="DE">Here, guests will find fresh fruit and vegetables, spices, sauces, snacks
and even ice cream cream in the freezer. These products can then be used in
their own kitchens. Linked to the supermarket is also a bistro where breakfast
is served and where dishes made with local produce from the area where the ship
is currently berthed are also served. </span>On a luxury ship, wine is of
course a must. As many as 14,000 bottles from 19 different countries are stored
in a special wine vault. These are offered in the various restaurants, where
guests then have a choice of 1,100 different wines. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Besides the culinary aspect, the ship also has two swimming
pools on board, two mini-golf courses, an extensive wellness centre, a theatre,
a unique art gallery and even a chapel. For guests, it is also possible to be
taken to and from the ship by helicopter. A helipad is provided on the bow for
this purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp9eQCoLSh6P5Aj8QXyFk35eJ_OD1p8B0d89NH_5RaoayFWSXe9TfkNAZGa7VDZWPN8mcgvEjpaKJtNDC7hFy2kTdtdEoq_7DTBzfhAQ9uLLCslk33oxCjI3g5el_K2vkKLc_A1IrPuG2snS6Uqf7mMLV7-MNnu4pf9wTWAAokNR_zyr0L6P1i93qToBme/s1000/DSC_3438.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp9eQCoLSh6P5Aj8QXyFk35eJ_OD1p8B0d89NH_5RaoayFWSXe9TfkNAZGa7VDZWPN8mcgvEjpaKJtNDC7hFy2kTdtdEoq_7DTBzfhAQ9uLLCslk33oxCjI3g5el_K2vkKLc_A1IrPuG2snS6Uqf7mMLV7-MNnu4pf9wTWAAokNR_zyr0L6P1i93qToBme/w640-h428/DSC_3438.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

World elke oceaan bevaren en 6 continenten bezoeken. Begin dit jaar vertrok het
schip vanuit Dubai richting Indië. Van daaruit ging het via Sri Lanka naar de
Maladieven en de Seychellen. Na enkele stops in het Midden Oosten ging het via
het Suezkanaal naar de Middellandse Zee, waar het schip twee maanden heeft
rondgevaren. Nadien zette het koers op West-Europa. Het schip kwam vanuit het
Engelse Tibury naar Antwerpen en zal vanaf hier richting Bremen in Duitsland
gaan. Daarna gaat het na enkele tussenstops in de Oostzee richting Noorwegen en
IJsland waarna verder wordt overgestoken richting Groenland waar expedities
georganiseerd zullen worden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Vanaf daar gaat het terug Zuidwaarts richting Canada en de
Verenigde Staten. Via de Caraïben en Zuid-Amerika zal het schip uiteindelijk
uiteindelijke de Drake Passage naar Antarctica oversteken. Zelfs voor The World
is Antarctica als bestemming iets uniek. De passagiers zullen Nieuwjaar kunnen
doorbrengen op het witte continent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> During her 2023 world cruise, The World
will sail every ocean and visit six continents. Earlier this year, the ship
left Dubai for India. From there, it went via Sri Lanka to the Maladives and
Seychelles. After a few stops in the Middle East, it went via the Suez Canal to
the Mediterranean, where the ship sailed around for two months. <span lang="DE">Afterwards, it set sail for Western Europe. The
ship came to Antwerp from Tibury, England, and from here it will head for
Bremen in Germany. Then, after several stops in the Baltic Sea, it will head
towards Norway and Iceland after which it will continue crossing towards
Greenland where expeditions will be organised.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="DE"><span style="font-family: arial;">From there, it

Na vier weken meerde het Poolse schoolschip rond 14:00u opnieuw aan in
Antwerpen. Het schip wordt elk jaar ingezet voor de Antwerp Maritime Academy,
vroeger gekend als de Hogere Zeevaartschool Antwerpen, voor een zeestage met hun
eerstejaarsstudenten. Het was de 15<sup>de</sup> keer dat er zo’n zeestage georganiseerd
werd op het schip. Een deel van de eerstejaarsstudenten was in de masten
geklommen voor de aankomst aan de Scheldekaaien. Doordat de Ocean Nova niet
veel plaats innam aan het cruiseponton werd er besloten om de </span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;">Dar Młodzieży</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> ook
aan het ponton te laten aanmeren.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;">Dar Młodzieży</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> vertrok op
zondagavond opnieuw uit Antwerpen. De volgende bestemming is de haven van
Hamburg in Duitsland, waar het schip op 5 mei zal aankomen. Van daaruit gaan ze
via het Zweedse Stockholm terug richting Gdynia in Polen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The cruise call
of the Ocean Nova coincided with the return of the Tall Ship </span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;">Dar Młodzieży</span><span style="font-family: arial;">.
After four weeks, the Polish school ship docked in Antwerp again around 14:00h.
The ship is used every year by the Antwerp Maritime Academy to organise a traineeship.
It was the 15th time such a sea traineeship was organised on the ship. Several
of the first-year students had climbed the masts while arriving back at the
Scheldt quays in Antwerp. As the Ocean Nova did not take up much space on the
cruise pontoon, it was decided that the </span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;">Dar Młodzieży</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> would also dock on the
pontoon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;">Dar Młodzieży</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> left Antwerp again
on Sunday evening. The next destination is the port of Hamburg in Germany,
where the ship will arrive on 5 May. From there, they will head back to Gdynia
in Poland via Stockholm, Sweden.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhGJHxdGlZfMRJ9RZernjRgWIq5QFwjcBsNj6a8Lmv_WB2x-muVoU7LlIG82lDqATJEDqXKZDDhx4_K1_N3l1ReNALis83q5GLCqhSNQki99mnxB7IZy1ffvcoIYNWUHYPOlG4PEpJglAyPumJzHPL7iFh6nON-aPpdWT-EdTc9YlMufBinRkmO2Tggw/s1000/DSC_1461-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhGJHxdGlZfMRJ9RZernjRgWIq5QFwjcBsNj6a8Lmv_WB2x-muVoU7LlIG82lDqATJEDqXKZDDhx4_K1_N3l1ReNALis83q5GLCqhSNQki99mnxB7IZy1ffvcoIYNWUHYPOlG4PEpJglAyPumJzHPL7iFh6nON-aPpdWT-EdTc9YlMufBinRkmO2Tggw/s320/DSC_1461-3.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmgVCC3fKzOKddQPAL1Y75VYIyEWAG79lg5XnQHBG2tVoPeTgfRTSmc7TqR8mFChn5nESBKWa97DCVC47wK3vNu-fjQhmT7_uCf0YovtXAQvyEm2VKszbf7ucF92CJ8G_wanZcadaNqaoroMPpfUlTPKBqUyXNsYKAGCRH1UsOQ4yCJH8QMEJBkx2yCg/s1000/DSC_1467-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmgVCC3fKzOKddQPAL1Y75VYIyEWAG79lg5XnQHBG2tVoPeTgfRTSmc7TqR8mFChn5nESBKWa97DCVC47wK3vNu-fjQhmT7_uCf0YovtXAQvyEm2VKszbf7ucF92CJ8G_wanZcadaNqaoroMPpfUlTPKBqUyXNsYKAGCRH1UsOQ4yCJH8QMEJBkx2yCg/s320/DSC_1467-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk8oyGPGykoTih-QMomvmib-Z7_ez-CU4uW2_I7rU-k1nKkCqDHTGl0xufDShcGmc-AHSTsxCA9Kt1HEFJcC9XFkAg7pmRyiQQgNxmFEMKrS4f5_cah8PP_iSQeRBCb-YBcP_Xk6dnJ12EsaAvlD67MYI4fIMRXxBz0ILhcUol5j8nxpgk0DFIVLPmkA/s1000/DSC_1489-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk8oyGPGykoTih-QMomvmib-Z7_ez-CU4uW2_I7rU-k1nKkCqDHTGl0xufDShcGmc-AHSTsxCA9Kt1HEFJcC9XFkAg7pmRyiQQgNxmFEMKrS4f5_cah8PP_iSQeRBCb-YBcP_Xk6dnJ12EsaAvlD67MYI4fIMRXxBz0ILhcUol5j8nxpgk0DFIVLPmkA/w640-h428/DSC_1489-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">_________</span></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="line-height: 13.91px;"><b></b></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">All images are strictly copyrighted!</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Do not copy without permission!</span></div></div>Cruiseschepen in Antwerpenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17561869517330141767noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893998931079168519.post-1305159592506769772023-04-03T15:57:00.003+02:002023-04-03T15:57:38.407+02:00Tall Ship Alexander von Humboldt II in Antwerpen 2023<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>NL:</u> Het Tall Ship Alexander von Humboldt II kwam

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Vorig jaar lag Alexander von Humboldt II
nog in Antwerpen tijdens The Tall Ships Races. Dit jaar bezoekt het schip de
stad in een andere hoedanigheid. Momenteel vaart het de wereld rond voor het Canadese
project ‘Class Afloat’. Het West Island College International organiseert elk
jaar een schoolcruise op het Tall Ship met een erkende schoolopleiding, naar
het Canadese model. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Het schooljaar is onderverdeeld in twee semesters: september
tot januari en mei tot september. De studenten kunnen zelf kiezen of ze voor
één of twee semesters deelnemen, of zelfs in sommige gevallen voor meer dan
twee semesters. Het schooljaar is een combinatie van een reis op het vaste
land, gecombineerd met een lange vaart op de Alexander von Humboldt II. Er
worden namelijk niet enkel havens in Europa aangelopen maar ook havens in
bijvoorbeeld de Caraïben, Zuid-Amerika en Afrika. Naargelang het studietraject
dat gekozen wordt, wordt er tot 5 uur les per dag gevolgd. Het project bestaat
al sinds 1984.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In de zomermaanden, wanneer de studenten niet aan boord zijn,
neemt de Alexander von Humboldt II deel aan de grote zeilevenementen zoals The
Tall Ships Races, en andere bijeenkomsten van unieke schepen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> Last year, Alexander von Humboldt II was
still in Antwerp during The Tall Ships Races. This year, the ship is visiting
the city for a different reason. It is currently sailing around the world for
the Canadian project 'Class Afloat'. The West Island College International
organises a school cruise on the Tall Ship every year with an approved school curriculum,
following the Canadian model. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The school year is divided into two semesters: September to
January and May to September. Students can choose whether to participate for
one or two semesters, or even in some cases for more than two semesters. The
school year is a combination of mainland travel, combined with a long sailing
on the Alexander von Humboldt II. Not only ports in Europe are visited, but
also ports in, for example, the Caribbean, South America and Africa. Depending
on the study route chosen, up to five hours of lessons per day are taken. The
project has existed since 1984.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">During the summer months, when the students are not on
board, the Alexander von Humboldt II participates in major sailing events such

werd in 1982 gebouwd voor de Gdynia Maritime Academy bij de Poolse scheepswerf
Gdansk Shipyard in de gelijknamige stad. Ze werd ontworpen om het toenmalige
opleidingsschip Dar Pomorza te vervangen, dat toen al meer dan vijftig jaar lang
ingezet werd om nieuwe rekruten op te leiden. Dar Młodzieży, wat vertaald wordt
als ‘Gift van de Jeugd’, bleek na de oplevering zo populair te zijn dat er nog 5
zusterschepen gebouwd werden: Druzhba (1987), Khersones (1988), Mir (1987),
Pallada (1983) en Nasheba (1992)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Omdat het schip specifiek gebouwd
werd voor studenten werd er ook een klaslokaal voorzien aan boord. Naast de
gewone navigatiebrug van waaruit het schip gestuurd wordt, is er ook nog een
tweede brug die uitgerust is met dezelfde instrumenten en kaarttafels. Op die
manier kunnen de studenten ook zelf navigeren.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Het schip doet, zoals de meeste Tall

built in 1982 for the Gdynia Maritime Academy at the Polish shipyard Gdansk
Shipyard in the city of the same name. She was designed to replace the previous
training ship Dar Pomorza, which had by then been used to train new recruits
for more than 50 years. Dar Młodzieży, which translates as 'Gift of Youth',
proved so popular after delivery that five more sister ships were built:
Druzhba (1987), Khersones (1988), Mir (1987), Pallada (1983) and Nasheba
(1992).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As the ship was built
specifically for students, a classroom was also provided on board. Besides the
regular navigation bridge from which the ship is steered, there is also a
second bridge equipped with the same instruments and chart tables. This way,
the students can also navigate themselves.<br />
The ship, like most Tall Ships still around, regularly participates in the Tall
Ships Races and the other meetings of sailing ships and historical ships
worldwide. Thanks to its cooperation with the Antwerp Maritime Academy, Dar
Młodzieży visits Antwerp just about every year. She is also always present

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> MS Spirit of
Adventure is het tweede nieuwbouwschip van de Engelse rederij Saga Cruises.
Haar zusterschip, MS Spirit of Discovery, lag in 2022 nog aangemeerd aan de
Scheldekaaien. MS Spirit of Adventure werd in september 2020 opgeleverd door de
Duitse scheepswerf Meyer Werft. Door de coronapandemie kwam ze echter pas in
juli 2021 in vaart. Qua indeling zijn beide zusterschepen zo goed als gelijk.
Wat wel sterk varieert is de stijl van het interieur. Waar de Spirit of
Discovery specifiek ontworpen werd als een ouder, klassiek cruiseschip met de
grandeur van toen, kreeg de Spirit of Adventure een veel moderner
interieurdesign met strakkere lijnen, wat vooral opvalt aan de grote witte
traphal in het midden van het schip. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Net zoals alle andere schepen die
Saga Cruises doorheen de jaren gehad heeft, kunnen enkel vijftigplussers een
cruise boeken op de schepen. Dit zorgt ervoor dat er steeds een serene sfeer
hangt aan boord.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> MS Spirit of
Adventure is the second new-build ship of UK-based company Saga Cruises. Her
sister ship, MS Spirit of Discovery, visited Antwerp in 2022. MS Spirit of
Adventure was delivered by German shipyard Meyer Werft in September 2020.
However, due to the corona pandemic, she did not enter service until July 2021.
In terms of layout, both sister ships are pretty much the same. What does vary
greatly is the style of the interior. Whereas the Spirit of Discovery was
specifically designed as an older, classic cruise ship with the grandeur of the
old times, the Spirit of Adventure was given a much more modern interior design
with tighter lines, which is particularly noticeable in the large white
stairwell in the centre of the ship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Like all the other ships Saga
Cruises has the policy that you can only book a cruise with them if you are
50-year-old, or over. This ensures that there is always a serene atmosphere on
board.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfBlt-bmkI5M20SoEI8rh5o6nNFrmL6UCmhnmLXokJhGuHo5FuhHRHWESr8rC5Iw_OQqxBbpNIdqJfLIDuPNyeWIFZ1uS4XHeax50CmY0vF-nx9SCfujktEx5AtL9uRvsioa1-XGALflC6SCVbtusJGWbYyFe5hjWCUgWq82AgKtkB9J90a9FMEr4Wkg/s1000/DSC_8947.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="667" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfBlt-bmkI5M20SoEI8rh5o6nNFrmL6UCmhnmLXokJhGuHo5FuhHRHWESr8rC5Iw_OQqxBbpNIdqJfLIDuPNyeWIFZ1uS4XHeax50CmY0vF-nx9SCfujktEx5AtL9uRvsioa1-XGALflC6SCVbtusJGWbYyFe5hjWCUgWq82AgKtkB9J90a9FMEr4Wkg/w426-h640/DSC_8947.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdo4sgR3wNqbYeNNFu9rnlzIkCMPnEAILbRa0Xye-GwGrNZkp9TSwENHYYbZ8Yqq7BiMMhPuWUL7eX_QQtH8dnJN3KHskzAZMp3kPCesWK9HSIQw88U8R8ewYNoGzsZ47ZA8BXETDpulzTLpCd-fkiEeZ91pkqXPL8Yk_5blu8-nISm7_S-R9tgJJaw/s1000/DSC_8980.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdo4sgR3wNqbYeNNFu9rnlzIkCMPnEAILbRa0Xye-GwGrNZkp9TSwENHYYbZ8Yqq7BiMMhPuWUL7eX_QQtH8dnJN3KHskzAZMp3kPCesWK9HSIQw88U8R8ewYNoGzsZ47ZA8BXETDpulzTLpCd-fkiEeZ91pkqXPL8Yk_5blu8-nISm7_S-R9tgJJaw/s320/DSC_8980.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi46pAPIXKxlHBnBBt9l0q8igRju9YJ0zuNNb7Bb0h0o6acWP6ZIBhmsEGAVFNNz3Pteup5CJxfTuho6Uv9uYuMOHC0a4hJ2YfsLKbOeGgWaxdICu8b36qesiWfjcGkMa8tVUiaVmdAXXmztrxy3Z0Pc4LjBJmJieHyBWo3hlBPdmOOIqtoSPTvr5pvmA/s1000/DSC_9048.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi46pAPIXKxlHBnBBt9l0q8igRju9YJ0zuNNb7Bb0h0o6acWP6ZIBhmsEGAVFNNz3Pteup5CJxfTuho6Uv9uYuMOHC0a4hJ2YfsLKbOeGgWaxdICu8b36qesiWfjcGkMa8tVUiaVmdAXXmztrxy3Z0Pc4LjBJmJieHyBWo3hlBPdmOOIqtoSPTvr5pvmA/s320/DSC_9048.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgegUT8YL_Q_OKjr2PgSlxBrAqfAu-muSDPY06hhRHyHmjyQXzCNx6Z4MdCXLFw5nCwjzxU2jQUSkHGYtlURr_nMQRm6f2g1cN9g7dQ5nSuDD9ATJCC_WBHdny7mfeUV31cyvaldC-5ARnzz77mGqJzLa-zy5odHRnfENz9k67b104azgzcwS3fJ00n9g/s1000/DSC_9083.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgegUT8YL_Q_OKjr2PgSlxBrAqfAu-muSDPY06hhRHyHmjyQXzCNx6Z4MdCXLFw5nCwjzxU2jQUSkHGYtlURr_nMQRm6f2g1cN9g7dQ5nSuDD9ATJCC_WBHdny7mfeUV31cyvaldC-5ARnzz77mGqJzLa-zy5odHRnfENz9k67b104azgzcwS3fJ00n9g/s320/DSC_9083.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiax6GPQEt_ISXYLt9gpLw235cSwnvXnR4FPZ10d8-D7N6zvyTuqSGEDzscKSj08BEszFxRCYKWHv9uf47OD7L-MQb7g6R7xrYfDZ4FwHR6gozqq0hXxKNVwKCI3pjn7RG9C_qE2YG4kRdWg2Q3pebq5jQUVzUfdMuMXiwtPFJ_MMqQtp5fn1zXlpMd3g/s1000/DSC_9084.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiax6GPQEt_ISXYLt9gpLw235cSwnvXnR4FPZ10d8-D7N6zvyTuqSGEDzscKSj08BEszFxRCYKWHv9uf47OD7L-MQb7g6R7xrYfDZ4FwHR6gozqq0hXxKNVwKCI3pjn7RG9C_qE2YG4kRdWg2Q3pebq5jQUVzUfdMuMXiwtPFJ_MMqQtp5fn1zXlpMd3g/s320/DSC_9084.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7YYs1vJq6xDZggQDolmkI4foQd7oHSKone5lUE2_CL09vOZeibPeXqEuwf2abMBWgGnl2XD4OSJRPwjoeJ6vxxROSZVBnn0AJQRfpX0bVVtPCNAYKZjWQuacKQu2xhEU-P8HUCS5aHK04jHssfI_kP9u8ftAUCWLvMFW_bf1uF_D7GGBGkA0Hb6Beg/s1000/DSC_8880.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7YYs1vJq6xDZggQDolmkI4foQd7oHSKone5lUE2_CL09vOZeibPeXqEuwf2abMBWgGnl2XD4OSJRPwjoeJ6vxxROSZVBnn0AJQRfpX0bVVtPCNAYKZjWQuacKQu2xhEU-P8HUCS5aHK04jHssfI_kP9u8ftAUCWLvMFW_bf1uF_D7GGBGkA0Hb6Beg/w640-h426/DSC_8880.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><p></p>

cruise season in Antwerp this year already starts on 10 February with the
arrival of the Spirit of Adventure from English company Saga Cruises. The
236-metre cruise ship is coming to the city for the first time this year. </span><span lang="DE" style="color: #023342; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">If there

the ship can also be found in antarctic waters. Another small ship coming to
Antwerp for the first time this year is Grand Circle Cruise Line's 100-metre MV

Spijtig genoeg heeft AIDA
Cruises begin januari aangekondigd dat het schip eind september hun vloot zal
verlaten. Wanneer het schip op 18 en 19/09 in Antwerpen aanmeert, zal ze bezig
zijn aan haar allerlaatste cruise voor AIDA Cruises. MS AIDAaura is ook het
enige schip van AIDA Cruises dat nog klein genoeg is om naar Antwerpen te
komen. Wie dus nog eens een schip met de kenmerkende ogen en rode lippen wil
zien, heeft dit jaar nog twee kansen: één in juni en één in september.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 3; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nog in september zal MS World Odyssey van Semester at Sea naar Antwerpen
komen. Het schoolcruiseschip bezoekt de stad aan het begin van haar wereldreis
richting Japan. Het schip komt als World Odyssey voor het eerst naar Antwerpen,
maar het bezocht de Scheldestad al verschillende keren als MS Deutschland.
Sinds enkele jaren verandert het schip elk jaar van naam om in de zomermaanden
als MS Deutschland te varen voor Phoenix Reisen, en van de herfst tot het voorjaar
als MS World Odyssey te varen voor Semester At Sea.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 3; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh89lqR0OrX7JVH_DWmijXqgLeAO8h3e8oWryIyvNMZPwUJk_dMjDnapOeZM1NOGyWv0NrF-NX42SycI2wO0xvgHMIjPj8BvjAVOLvmqydHmRcsX9xkFEL_zwDFDWzA7cCLk4h9aLTrItoJAZrLyGcALvZTxZfhKE_GDoT2IuuD53lnhf4VygTxZG3YoA/s1080/12132931_1157950124218700_532951090_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="721" data-original-width="1080" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh89lqR0OrX7JVH_DWmijXqgLeAO8h3e8oWryIyvNMZPwUJk_dMjDnapOeZM1NOGyWv0NrF-NX42SycI2wO0xvgHMIjPj8BvjAVOLvmqydHmRcsX9xkFEL_zwDFDWzA7cCLk4h9aLTrItoJAZrLyGcALvZTxZfhKE_GDoT2IuuD53lnhf4VygTxZG3YoA/w640-h428/12132931_1157950124218700_532951090_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><b>MS World Odyssey - ©Semester At Sea</b></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">EN:</span></u></b><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"> For the

Unfortunately, AIDA Cruises
announced in early January that the ship will leave their fleet at the end of
September. When the ship docks in Antwerp on 18 and 19/09, she will be sailing
her very last cruise for AIDA Cruises. MS AIDAaura is also the only ship of
AIDA Cruises that is still small enough to come to Antwerp. So those wanting to
see another ship with the distinctive eyes and red lips have two more chances
this year: one in June and one in September.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="DE" style="color: #023342; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Also in September, MS World Odyssey from Semester

cruise ship will visit the city at the beginning of its world cruise to Japan.
The ship is coming to Antwerp for the first time as World Odyssey, but it
already visited the city several times as MS Deutschland. For several years
now, the ship changes its name every year to sail as MS Deutschland for Phoenix
Reisen during the summer months, and from autumn to spring as MS World Odyssey
for Semester At Sea.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">NL:</span></u></b><span style="color: #023342; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: NL-BE; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"> In oktober

number of calls also remains stable for 2023.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgVjnu5gnEOA66arnyQum9zjULAsjRfjBDTZfHAzIzEL9Qb8x0BXMXu-5M8vxzsTOEkRMzOj6jM2_WLTL5xjpNp7NubY7CYGgEpAdIrgtQ6luJUxKlzv-E3TcsJWrVURhPDCdPEnX7Uzie2Hn94JtG-SkcWpysncpL42Ma-WECxujOO_IrNKoUaMTbd8g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgVjnu5gnEOA66arnyQum9zjULAsjRfjBDTZfHAzIzEL9Qb8x0BXMXu-5M8vxzsTOEkRMzOj6jM2_WLTL5xjpNp7NubY7CYGgEpAdIrgtQ6luJUxKlzv-E3TcsJWrVURhPDCdPEnX7Uzie2Hn94JtG-SkcWpysncpL42Ma-WECxujOO_IrNKoUaMTbd8g=w640-h424" width="640" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><br /></b></span><u style="font-family: arial;"><b>NL:</b></u><span style="font-family: arial;"> MS Bolette kwam op 24
oktober met vijf uur vertraging aan in Antwerpen. Door de sterke wind was het
niet mogelijk om het schip op de geplande tijd te beloodsen aan het
loodsstation Steenbank. Er werd uiteindelijk ook nog besloten om niet de vaarroute
via Zoutelande te nemen, maar om voor de bredere vaargeul te gaan, waardoor er
ook nog extra omgevaren moest worden.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Bij de aankomst in Antwerpen zorgde
de wind nog voor een spectaculair zwaaimanoeuvre, waarbij MS Bolette met behulp
van een sleepboot vlak voor de kaai aan het loodswezen zwaaide en daarna
achterwaarts naar het cruiseponton manoeuvreerde. Door de vertraagde aankomst liet
het tij het toe om te zwaaien tijdens de aankomst. Dit had als voordeel dat het
schip daardoor de volgende dag twee uur later kon vertrekken. Het was de derde
aanloop van het schip in 2022 en telkens werd er ook een overnachting geboekt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u><b>EN:</b></u> MS Bolette
arrived in Antwerp on 24 October with a five-hour delay. Due to strong winds,
it was not possible to pilot the ship at Steenbank pilot station at the
scheduled time. It was also eventually decided not to take the shipping route
via Zoutelande, but to go for the wider channel, which also required additional
detours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">On arrival in Antwerp, the wind
caused a spectacular swinging manoeuvre, with MS Bolette turning right in front
of the quay at the old pilot station with the help of a tugboat and then
manoeuvring backwards towards the cruise pontoon. Due to the delayed arrival,
the tide allowed it to turn during the arrival. This had the advantage of
allowing the ship to depart two hours later the next day. <span lang="DE">It was the ship's third call in 2022 and each time
an overnight stay was also booked.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeHRMORrtxVlkruQCDVNGwJR3F1nivJD_j9wyMVE8NLfx6Y_1lp3C61Ma5ODatEk8hMnNarAlsVfAWadmz0YrIzQPTvHneMegE-rtqR5EIWRMv6FrHLFgTgLFT_T6VjVZ9e1VE168LqoWSwOUQ5l97KyBz7vGaDEgu-GDTdXyl1ne2oaULvULrK5ghg/s1000/DSC_6437.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeHRMORrtxVlkruQCDVNGwJR3F1nivJD_j9wyMVE8NLfx6Y_1lp3C61Ma5ODatEk8hMnNarAlsVfAWadmz0YrIzQPTvHneMegE-rtqR5EIWRMv6FrHLFgTgLFT_T6VjVZ9e1VE168LqoWSwOUQ5l97KyBz7vGaDEgu-GDTdXyl1ne2oaULvULrK5ghg/s320/DSC_6437.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-M88FHK9EAySENjIyjoVjnu8W_eM-6zd5YesjAyQnG_4Qo95Dr98qrxTLm_uHXHlG9oGKXmA7a5IM5hXZ9D1QUNa_lNaU8RAkq84_WMHo7hXR39SO0C_2T3N7AJ5HWxaC3j18uGAp8gUwAL2wRZh4jvPoFopgLs8Ac_4BPuQN5kWP1M_FgC1B9UnoBg/s1000/DSC_6455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-M88FHK9EAySENjIyjoVjnu8W_eM-6zd5YesjAyQnG_4Qo95Dr98qrxTLm_uHXHlG9oGKXmA7a5IM5hXZ9D1QUNa_lNaU8RAkq84_WMHo7hXR39SO0C_2T3N7AJ5HWxaC3j18uGAp8gUwAL2wRZh4jvPoFopgLs8Ac_4BPuQN5kWP1M_FgC1B9UnoBg/s320/DSC_6455.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><h2><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Cruiseseizoen 2022 / Cruise Season 2022</b></span></h2><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><u style="font-family: arial;"><b>NL:</b></u><span style="font-family: arial;"> Na twee jaren
waarin zo goed als elke cruiseaanloop geannuleerd werd, lijkt de cruise-industrie
zich opnieuw wat te stabiliseren. Er wordt nog wel regelmatig geschoven met de
vaarschema’s van de schepen door corona-maatregelen. Hierdoor werden er doorheen
2022 nog 6 aanlopen geannuleerd, sommige daarvan al enkele weken nadat ze
aangekondigd werden, maar het merendeel van de reizen kon wel gewoon doorgaan
zoals gepland. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In totaal kreeg Antwerpen dit
jaar 20 zeecruiseaanlopen op bezoek. Die werden verdeeld onder 15 verschillende
schepen van 13 verschillende rederijen. Zeven schepen bezochten de Scheldestad
voor de eerste keer. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u><b>EN:</b></u> After two years
in which almost every cruise call was cancelled, the cruise industry seems to
be stabilising somewhat again. However, there is still regular shuffling of
ships' sailing schedules due to corona measures. As a result, 6 more calls were
cancelled through 2022, some of them just weeks after they were announced, but
the majority of the voyages were able to go ahead as planned. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In total, Antwerp received 20 sea
cruise calls this year. These were divided among 15 different ships from 13
different shipping companies. Seven ships visited the city for the first time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHxQY2YNz-soYqmLEfogmJ3r6h2yXu_IsS6pRdrhDJRAoTa8gwt5Mun7FXrGo84foaENyOT0fVZvKyu65vxMvCqcLf6NMhshV5t3XykSljfAS8_3lb9jHBeJv21-lplPOfrs2VHj9U6-5cV359RCKopI7yHzFp5kvMprl0wvyzenR3v7veaFOs8AJXcQ/s1000/DSC_6427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHxQY2YNz-soYqmLEfogmJ3r6h2yXu_IsS6pRdrhDJRAoTa8gwt5Mun7FXrGo84foaENyOT0fVZvKyu65vxMvCqcLf6NMhshV5t3XykSljfAS8_3lb9jHBeJv21-lplPOfrs2VHj9U6-5cV359RCKopI7yHzFp5kvMprl0wvyzenR3v7veaFOs8AJXcQ/w640-h424/DSC_6427.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>Vooruitblik naar 2023 / Looking

al een voorzichtige vooruitblik doen naar het seizoen van 2023. Er kunnen nog
steeds zaken veranderen, maar momenteel staan er 26 zeecruiseaanlopen gepland.
Waarvan 6 schepen hun maiden call, of eerste aanloop, zullen maken in
Antwerpen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">De opening van het cruiseseizoen
staat gepland op 10 februari 2023. Dan zal MS Spirit of Adventure van Saga
Cruises naar Antwerpen komen om te overnachten. Dat wordt ook ineens de eerste
maiden call van het seizoen. In april 2022 lag haar zusterschip MS Spirit of
Discovery ook al in de stad voor haar maiden call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Twee verder blikvangers van het
seizoen zijn de aanlopen van ‘The World’, ’s werelds enige private residentieschip
en de aanloop van de prachtige ‘Sea Cloud Spirit’, ’s werelds nieuwste
zeilcruiseschip. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

already take a tentative look ahead to the 2023 season. Things may still
change, but currently 26 sea cruise calls are scheduled. Of which six ships
will make their maiden call, or first call, in Antwerp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The opening of the cruise season
is scheduled for 10 February 2023. Then Saga Cruises' MS Spirit of Adventure
will come to Antwerp for an overnight call. That will also already be the first
maiden call of the season. In April 2022, her sister ship MS Spirit of
Discovery also visited the city for her maiden call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Two further eye-catchers of the

MS AIDAaura van de Duitse rederij AIDA Cruises lag op 19 & 20 september
2022 voor de eerste keer aangemeerd in Antwerpen. Het is het zesde cruiseschip van
de rederij dat de stad een bezoek brengt en het eerste schip van AIDA dat
aanmeert aan de nieuwe cruiseterminal aan het Noorderterras. Oorspronkelijk
stond de eerste aanloop of ‘maiden call’ van AIDAaura gepland in oktober 2021,

MS AIDAaura of German company AIDA Cruises docked in Antwerp for the first time
on 19 & 20 September 2022. It is the cruise lin’s sixth cruise ship to
visit the city and the first AIDA-ship to dock at the new cruise terminal at
the Noorderterras. Originally, the first call or 'maiden call' of AIDAaura was

andere schepen van AIDA Cruises heeft de kleurrijke boegschildering van het
schip veel bekijks. Het ontwerp van de grote rode lippen en kleurrijke ogen op
boeg werd in 1996 bedacht door de Duitse theatergraficus Feliks Büttner voor de
bouw van de AIDAcara. AIDA Cruises, toen nog gekend onder de naam Deutsche
Seetouristik, was met deze beschildering de allereerste rederij die een
opvallende beschildering aanbracht op een cruiseschip. Tegenwoordig hebben
verschillende rederijen dit idee overgenomen. Enkele voorbeelden hiervan zijn
Norwegian Cruise Line en Princess Cruises.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> As with all
other AIDA Cruises ships, the ship's colourful bow painting attracts a lot of
attention. The design of the large red lips and colourful eyes on bow was
conceived by German theatre graphic artist Feliks Büttner in 1996 for the
construction of the AIDAcara. With this painting, AIDA Cruises, then known as
Deutsche Seetouristik, was the very first shipping company to apply an
eye-catching painting to the outside a cruise ship. Today, several shipping
companies have adopted this idea. Some examples are Norwegian Cruise Line and
Princess Cruises.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh53NTShbsBo_8KBciKpqR8IOVXT3af0DLcTmvHDVYzT4ZvhLOYXZpEOS5UWCpkvw1Cq-Box8HLrh6l4wy1_AWTnhNRE2FzJfdpYlG1NGpPVOYtg26gaE1awHyJca9b8eO3qg54998nNaMzke6QFwhGHDEFfjvuOfeIAUFfBz5jfg5W_Xf2zZCmwrrz2w/s1000/DSC_6388-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh53NTShbsBo_8KBciKpqR8IOVXT3af0DLcTmvHDVYzT4ZvhLOYXZpEOS5UWCpkvw1Cq-Box8HLrh6l4wy1_AWTnhNRE2FzJfdpYlG1NGpPVOYtg26gaE1awHyJca9b8eO3qg54998nNaMzke6QFwhGHDEFfjvuOfeIAUFfBz5jfg5W_Xf2zZCmwrrz2w/s320/DSC_6388-2.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqXUpsZALCpAQxDAROUGJI3V270T8MqSo2hsgclypCaX8dzdxFMNyFHsSOsmHRHcV5G0ip2oD-md7RzHNd-C4fH_Y4l37bXngEgjL9P5xyDn0Tl5SjEMSgXdzkM4ZvtAeqnszIGR3OO8nqbcYdOPi6jXEBQ0hxZORd1NrtX2haJ70UnAaS2HPr5TtC5w/s1000/DSC_8678.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqXUpsZALCpAQxDAROUGJI3V270T8MqSo2hsgclypCaX8dzdxFMNyFHsSOsmHRHcV5G0ip2oD-md7RzHNd-C4fH_Y4l37bXngEgjL9P5xyDn0Tl5SjEMSgXdzkM4ZvtAeqnszIGR3OO8nqbcYdOPi6jXEBQ0hxZORd1NrtX2haJ70UnAaS2HPr5TtC5w/s320/DSC_8678.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

veel kijklustigen naar het Noorderterras. De impressionante driemaster met een

touwwerk bekijken en de gouden adelaar die aan de boegspriet prijkt. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Naast de
prachtige witte zeilen, die niet minder dan 4100m² groot zijn, heeft het schip
ook nog een gewone motor die gebruikt wordt op plaatsen waar het te gevaarlijk
is om de zeilen te hijsen, zoals tijdens de aankomst of het vertrek in een
haven. De schouw van het schip zit trouwens verborgen in de achterste mast, die
je hierdoor soms kan zien roken. De zeilen worden aan boord op de traditionele
manier met de hand gehesen. Er werd niets geautomatiseerd. Dat betekent ook dat
de bemanningsleden voor het hijsen van de grote zeilen in de masten moeten
klimmen om ze handmatig los te maken.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The ship

beautiful white sails, which are no less than 4100 square metres, the ship also
has an ordinary engine that is used in places where it is too dangerous to
hoist the sails, such as when arriving or departing from a port. The ship's chimney is hidden in the rear mast, which can sometimes be seen
smoking. The sails are hoisted on board in the traditional way by hand. Nothing
was automated. This also means that the crew members must climb the masts to
hoist the big sails and unhook them by hand.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbMtrcxt6HQuWUa1n4Bs59i0s39jo4i-FTfZOBX7EJiOCbWpevQZHnzRmzO-VJmnxl3vbNAa3Vst5IExK3wOkzHf9aUkAzYVVn7R9RW3G_abkinKbLdKvb8R4_FCJY9pv7K5q9T4uhjYwAMNVcCdoOkUqqC6Junv5eD_7X23_62UQV8xBVpIIHsdlH2Q/s1000/DSC_0798.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbMtrcxt6HQuWUa1n4Bs59i0s39jo4i-FTfZOBX7EJiOCbWpevQZHnzRmzO-VJmnxl3vbNAa3Vst5IExK3wOkzHf9aUkAzYVVn7R9RW3G_abkinKbLdKvb8R4_FCJY9pv7K5q9T4uhjYwAMNVcCdoOkUqqC6Junv5eD_7X23_62UQV8xBVpIIHsdlH2Q/w640-h429/DSC_0798.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Het korte

losgooide en met behulp van twee sleepboten zwaaide voor het Zuiderterras. De

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> MS Spirit of
Discovery of the English company Saga Cruises arrived in the city centre of
Antwerp on Easter Monday to a great deal of interest. It was the first time
that the 236-metres long cruise ship came to the city of Antwerp. Normally, the
ship would have been in Antwerp in December 2020, but the coronavirus put a
stop to that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The ship, which was built in the
German shipyard Meyer Werft in 2019, can take just under 1,000 passengers on
board. Inside, the interior of the ship recalls the golden age of the
transatlantic Ocean Liners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The ship's departure was delayed
by a few hours, after which the ship cast off her mooring lines shortly before
19:00 on 19 April and, with the help of two tugboats, swung in front of the
Zuiderterras. The next port of call is Dover in England.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>>> View all photos here: <a href="https://cruiseshipsinantwerp.be/en---spirit%20of%20discovery.htm" target="_blank">MS Spirit of Discovery</a></b></span></p>

& Minimum Age</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Vanwege het
coronavirus dat nog steeds de ronde doet zijn er aan boord van het schip ook
nog specifieke regels van kracht. In de loop van het voorbije jaar hanteerden
verschillende cruiserederijen, waaronder ook AIDA Cruises, de regel om in de
havens niet meer individueel van boord te gaan. De enige manier waarop de
passagiers de stad dan kunnen verkennen is met een geleide groep. De meeste rederijen
hebben die regel momenteel terug laten vallen, maar dat is nog niet het geval
bij Saga Cruises. De passagiers die in Antwerpen aankwamen moesten verplicht
deelnemen aan een rondleiding als ze iets van de stad zouden willen zien. Waarschijnlijk
zal die regel binnenkort ook bij Saga Cruises opgeheven worden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Een mogelijk reden voor de
strengere coronamaatregelen aan boord is de gemiddelde leeftijd van de
passagiers. Saga Cruises heeft namelijk als concept dat je geen cruise mag
boeken bij hen als je jonger bent dan 50 jaar. Voor een partner die meegaat is
de minimumleeftijd 40 jaar. Saga Cruises is de enige cruiserederij die zo’n
drastische regels heeft. Rederijen die bijvoorbeeld kinderen weren aan boord komen
wel meer voor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> Because of the
coronavirus that is still circulating, specific rules are also in force on
board the ship. Over the course of the past year, several cruise lines,
including AIDA Cruises, have adopted the rule of no longer disembarking
individually in ports. The only way passengers can then explore the city is
with a guided group. Most cruise lines have now dropped that rule, but that is
not yet the case with Saga Cruises. Passengers arriving in Antwerp were
required to participate in a guided tour if they wanted to see anything of the
city. This rule will probably soon be lifted at Saga Cruises as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A possible reason for the
stricter measures on board is the average age of the passengers. Saga Cruises
has the concept that you cannot book a cruise with them if you are younger than
50. For a partner accompanying you, the minimum age is 40. Saga Cruises is the
only cruise line that has such drastic rules. Cruise companies which, for
example, do not allow children on board are more common.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-9xVMU7UUatd5KQZNVcemFwzP1DFWNMt7FzNQYJM9LJ6Sf8FWVjE6IorIqj3MUXIE9FKRU2BDNnmwl4wZQmKLzYbG3nOBxNQZLZC3EzfTyirgZw1ZYE1stkbG97QzIUKSQOxeRGgdx-4k8SwHi1v5sTYqhRFlBwnA8IUGfbC1DdwzeBqHlwf4LXIgWg/s1000/DSC_8129.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-9xVMU7UUatd5KQZNVcemFwzP1DFWNMt7FzNQYJM9LJ6Sf8FWVjE6IorIqj3MUXIE9FKRU2BDNnmwl4wZQmKLzYbG3nOBxNQZLZC3EzfTyirgZw1ZYE1stkbG97QzIUKSQOxeRGgdx-4k8SwHi1v5sTYqhRFlBwnA8IUGfbC1DdwzeBqHlwf4LXIgWg/w640-h428/DSC_8129.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">_________</span></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="line-height: 13.91px;"><b></b></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">All images are strictly copyrighted!</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Do not copy without permission!</span></div></div>Cruiseschepen in Antwerpenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17561869517330141767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893998931079168519.post-78139702305298896322022-04-09T21:27:00.000+02:002022-04-09T21:27:35.466+02:00Maiden Call MS HANSEATIC Spirit in Antwerpen<p><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>NL:</u> MS HANSEATIC

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> MS HANSEATIC Spirit
kwam op 8 april 2022 voor de eerste keer naar Antwerpen. Het kleine
expeditiecruiseschip is het derde van drie bijna identieke schepen die gebouwd
werden voor de Duitse luxerederij Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. In 2019 lag het
zusterschip HANSEATIC Inspiration nog in de Scheldestad. Dat schip startte toen
haar allereerste reis, of maiden voyage, vanuit Antwerpen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Door de compacte omvang van de
scheepsklasse is het ook mogelijk om er cruises mee te maken op de Great Lakes
in Noord-Amerika. Ze hebben elk ook een eigen vloot van zodiacs bij waarmee op
de meest afgelegen plaatsen kunnen geraken, zoals de kleine zijrivieren van de
Amazone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> MS HANSEATIC
Spirit arrived in Antwerp for the first time on April 8, 2022. The small

HANSEATIC Inspiration also visited Antwerp. That ship then started its very
first voyage, or maiden voyage, from the city.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Because of the compact size of
the ship class, it is also possible to sail cruises on the Great Lakes in North
America. They also each have their own fleet of zodiacs with which they can get
to the most remote places, such as the small tributaries of the Amazon.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqT8vvw5gZRMbvvDiNsDIvFpEiPkksOXROj2r2Pe_mLzGPhFs4lcD3zMcyAcKIU72SdxrX_7BUlzVptUvZbaD_9NllbGVRgYcV4YmON7QN4pJ4oixSTrqPGA6-q_GDN1hXNPqmN72gGLuWrEYeOyTUz86NkYY0nfFNikG-i9I3nYvudpCHX3EuhggTg/s1000/DSC_5640-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqT8vvw5gZRMbvvDiNsDIvFpEiPkksOXROj2r2Pe_mLzGPhFs4lcD3zMcyAcKIU72SdxrX_7BUlzVptUvZbaD_9NllbGVRgYcV4YmON7QN4pJ4oixSTrqPGA6-q_GDN1hXNPqmN72gGLuWrEYeOyTUz86NkYY0nfFNikG-i9I3nYvudpCHX3EuhggTg/w640-h428/DSC_5640-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglePZgJmis78czI3B6qAoiMDAggRxZHHR24v0mPpeS_5eFN8VKcKFKlaMJyn-FwSs9U4T0adc2jqIhCcirrZlUCsYNC3wmHNb65sFHV8OpeEWV4XKCroeLYMe9f5PhZ97Wh4HqIkNFRoO41iVTbcAM3Ae9dxOIEGNFJk_IRDu-4jrSFwpYECCUhGpwBw/s1000/DSC_5464-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglePZgJmis78czI3B6qAoiMDAggRxZHHR24v0mPpeS_5eFN8VKcKFKlaMJyn-FwSs9U4T0adc2jqIhCcirrZlUCsYNC3wmHNb65sFHV8OpeEWV4XKCroeLYMe9f5PhZ97Wh4HqIkNFRoO41iVTbcAM3Ae9dxOIEGNFJk_IRDu-4jrSFwpYECCUhGpwBw/s320/DSC_5464-2.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoN4EsBl_YsXWm2slFjAudTX-Hj8_ugX1yl3qqrBlmIBt4HDr_9N6dUO4bAkHETcx3Lw5wXLt0Xp1uEGWls38xpeXTHBiWYmfrl_j8u5Ighz4vCyQeHQJQmfS17Bht7lGTlS0Ftbv6wDxazFEZ6UlH5I_mrsLbIJdWl32y8tI8tsdsQhuvAXsBfdZHZw/s1000/DSC_5520-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoN4EsBl_YsXWm2slFjAudTX-Hj8_ugX1yl3qqrBlmIBt4HDr_9N6dUO4bAkHETcx3Lw5wXLt0Xp1uEGWls38xpeXTHBiWYmfrl_j8u5Ighz4vCyQeHQJQmfS17Bht7lGTlS0Ftbv6wDxazFEZ6UlH5I_mrsLbIJdWl32y8tI8tsdsQhuvAXsBfdZHZw/s320/DSC_5520-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maiden Call Ceremony</span></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Wanneer een
cruiseschip voor de eerste keer naar Antwerpen komt worden er steeds geschenken
overhandigd aan de kapitein. Normaal gezien gebeurt dit steeds aan boord van
het schip, maar door de coronamaatregelen, die aan boord van de cruiseschepen
nog wel meer van kracht zijn dan aan land, vond de ceremonie nu plaats aan de loopbrug
van het schip op het cruiseponton. Een delegatie van de Stadshaven, het
Schepenkabinet van Antwerpen en de Douane verwelkomden de kapitein in Antwerpen
en overhandigden hem de officiële ‘plaque’ met daarop de naam van het schip en
de datum van het bezoek. Daarnaast kreeg hij ook nog een boek over Antwerpen en
natuurlijk mocht een doos Belgische chocolade ook niet ontbreken.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Als alles gaat zoals gepland
zullen er dit jaar nog minstens 6 andere maiden call ceremonies plaatsvinden in
Antwerpen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> When a cruise
ship comes to Antwerp for the first time, gifts are always presented to the
captain. Normally this happens on board the ship, but because of the Covid
regulations, which are estill more present on board cruise ships than on land,
the ceremony now took place in front of the ship's gangway on the cruise
pontoon. A delegation from the City Port, the Antwerp City Council and Customs
welcomed the captain in Antwerp and presented him with the official 'plaque'
bearing the name of the ship and the date of the visit. He also received a book

het cruiseponton aan het Noorderterras al officieel in gebruik genomen. Nu is
ook de nieuwe cruiseterminal volledig operationeel. De terminal bevindt zich
onderin de nieuwe aanbouw van het middeleeuws fort Het Steen. Momenteel is de
verbinding tussen de cruiseterminal en het cruiseponton met tijdelijke hekken
omheind. Binnenkort zullen er in de plaats daarvan vaste hekken geïnstalleerd
worden. Die zullen zo geïnstalleerd worden dat de doorgang over de lengte van
de kaaien geopend zal zijn als de terminal niet in gebruik is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">MS Bolette van de Engelse rederij
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines mocht als eerste zeecruiseschip gebruik maken van de

the new cruise terminal is also fully operational. The terminal is located at
the bottom of the new extension of the medieval fort Het Steen. At the moment,
the connection between the cruise terminal and the cruise pontoon is fenced off
with temporary fences, but soon, permanent fences will be installed. They will
be placed in such a way that the passageway along the length of the quays will
be open when the terminal is not in use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">MS Bolette of the English company
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is the first sea cruise ship to use the new terminal.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Het bezoek aan
Antwerpen ging gepaard met een onderzoek van de waterkwaliteit van de Schelde.
Hiervoor zijn er een dertigtal wetenschappers aan boord, alsook verschillende
studenten. Het is de bedoeling dat de Belgica elk jaar naar Antwerpen zal komen
om de waterkwaliteit van de Schelde na te kijken. Zo kan de evolutie van het
water over de verschillende jaren onderzocht worden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Het vaargebied van de Belgica
beperkt zich echter niet enkel tot de Schelde en de Noordzee. Het is de bedoeling
dat het schip ook expedities zal varen naar noordoostelijke Atlantische Oceaan,
de Middellandse Zee en de Zwarte Zee. Ook reizen naar de Arctische wateren zijn
tijdens de zomer mogelijk doordat het schip gebouwd werd met ijsklasse 1A.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The visit to
Antwerp was accompanied by a study of the water quality of the Scheldt. <span lang="DE">About 30 scientists are on board for this,
as well as several students. </span>The intention is that the Belgica will come
to Antwerp every year to check the water quality of the Scheldt. In this way,
the evolution of the water over the different years can be examined.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">However, the Belgica's sailing
area is not limited to the river Scheldt and the North Sea. <span lang="DE">It is planned that the ship will also sail
expeditions to the north-east Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. </span>Voyages
to Arctic waters are also possible during the summer as the ship was built with
ice class 1A.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLIjB_VKDBSKT4S9qLIAQAX_e0XT1LAa1AViWLlSDI5MLUr1o03OCuFFdBtxg_CHb_eXmgSbCpAuPCjikmIib0kUEnEzeGqK23-FwpPNsS3Ro9bZWrNUAHFxygUqhwwhjZ780RCWzZQNDO4-yUGTwMIvERkI_AC4nR0DuD4GM-4w6IZKGdLjem6B2xg/s1000/DSC_4777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLIjB_VKDBSKT4S9qLIAQAX_e0XT1LAa1AViWLlSDI5MLUr1o03OCuFFdBtxg_CHb_eXmgSbCpAuPCjikmIib0kUEnEzeGqK23-FwpPNsS3Ro9bZWrNUAHFxygUqhwwhjZ780RCWzZQNDO4-yUGTwMIvERkI_AC4nR0DuD4GM-4w6IZKGdLjem6B2xg/w640-h428/DSC_4777.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">_________</span></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="line-height: 13.91px;"><b></b></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">All images are strictly copyrighted!</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Do not copy without permission!</span></div></div>Cruiseschepen in Antwerpenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17561869517330141767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893998931079168519.post-14928728231234276952022-03-06T10:37:00.000+01:002022-03-06T10:37:44.866+01:00Antwerpen - Officiële Cruiselijst 2022 / Official Cruise List 2022<p style="text-align: left;"><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>NL:</u> Het cruiseseizoen

Antwerpen, maar er staan ook 7 ‘maiden calls’ gepland, of schepen die voor de

Le Champlain van Ponant en MS Deutschland van Phoenix Reisen voor het eerst
langskomen. Voor MS Deutschland is het de eerste keer dat ze onder de vlag van

‘Kaailine’, een verwijzing naar het High Line Park in New York, wil de Stad
Antwerpen het Noorderterras en Zuiderterras langs de Scheldekaaien opwaarderen
en terug aantrekkelijker maken. Momenteel overheerst de graffiti nog op beide
wandelterrassen, maar project ‘Kaailine’ voorziet een grondige renovatie van de
beide geklasseerde bouwwerken zodat ze nadien opnieuw kunnen stralen in de grandeur
van weleer. Daarbij zullen de terrassen ook vergroend worden met behulp van
grote plantenbakken.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Eerder dit jaar werd aangekondigd
dat het Zuiderterras eerst aan de beurt zou komen voor de renovatie. Spijtig
genoeg werd er na onderzoek opgemerkt dat de kaaimuur daar eerst gestabiliseerd
zal moeten worden. Daardoor werd ervoor gekozen om de focus te verleggen naar
het Noorderterras.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> With the
'Kaailine' project, a reference to the High Line Park in New York, the City of
Antwerp wants to upgrade the Noorderterras and Zuiderterras along the Scheldt
quays and make them more attractive again. At the moment graffiti still
dominates both terraces, but the 'Kaailine' project provides for a thorough
renovation of both listed buildings so that they can once again shine in the
grandeur of yesteryear. The terraces will also be made greener with the help of
large plant containers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Earlier this year, it was
announced that the Zuiderterras would be renovated first. Unfortunately, after
investigation it was noted that the quay wall there will first need to be
stabilised. As a result, it was decided to shift the focus to the Noorderterrase.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnqz3z4zqPPLbNWvX0ExifR-Sj_HIqcLJWq6yI-zQPhFPDqH-6027XeYmYVm2z4lwQOpRp-tQQt3mk9LfwBZsbOe5_nTH89tK7DeiSVxuXUp6emy5e0ClGMrK9V5WcwYfHqI1imfL2B5dpmbOL72wgqA8N6ui_3U3AUtKj3OB39ToZ00_JDYrX69r7_A=s4500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="4500" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnqz3z4zqPPLbNWvX0ExifR-Sj_HIqcLJWq6yI-zQPhFPDqH-6027XeYmYVm2z4lwQOpRp-tQQt3mk9LfwBZsbOe5_nTH89tK7DeiSVxuXUp6emy5e0ClGMrK9V5WcwYfHqI1imfL2B5dpmbOL72wgqA8N6ui_3U3AUtKj3OB39ToZ00_JDYrX69r7_A=w640-h356" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #7e888b; font-size: 12px;">© Tractebel Engineering - Palmbout Urban Landscapes</span></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Groene Boulevard / Green Boulevard</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Na de renovatie
zal het Noorderterras veranderd zijn in een groene wandelboulevard. Voor de
vergroening van het Noorderterras werd voor planten gekozen die gedijen in de
buurt van de Schelde met haar brakke water.<span style="background: white; color: black;"></span> Er komen grote plantenvakken
waarin mix van grassen zoals verbena of grote pimpernel geplant zal worden, die
overgaan in struiken en heesters met een maximale hoogte van anderhalve meter.
Daarnaast komen er ook zones met planten zoals zeekool, cipressenkruid en
blauwspirea. De plantvakken zijn zo opgebouwd dat ze ook regenwater zullen kunnen
bufferen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“<i>Omdat de plantvakken langs de
stadszijde staan, blijft het zicht op de Schelde behouden. Het zitmeubilair,
zowel vrijstaand en als onderdeel van de plantvakken, wordt eveneens met zicht
op de Schelde geplaatst</i>”, laat Schepen van Stadsontwikkeling Annick De
Ridder weten. Verder zal er bij de renovatie van de terrassen ook bekeken worden
of de daken deels opengemaakt kunnen worden zodat er meer licht tot op de
kaaien komt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Als alles goed gaat zullen de werken
aan het Noorderterras starten in de zomer van 2022. Hierdoor zal het
wandelterras ook een tijd afgesloten worden voor het publiek. ‘Kaailine’ maakt
deel uit van het centrale deel van de Scheldekaaien, tussen Noorderterras en
Zuiderterras. Voor dat deel is een ontwerp voor de kaaivlakte in opmaak. De
heraanleg van de kaaien tussen Noorderterras en Steenplein, waarbij ook de
ruimte onder het terras een nieuwe invulling krijgt, staat gepland vanaf het
voorjaar van 2024.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAAYqO8aPaLb9dajC5spZ7pZLFtw9vCKDjrGjeP5yqY1wNTnPsDlv2Z1LcxTmb646GwgaviCHz-WsCLZcHd8F5YvmtV-3HuSi9aLrc9oBWjD9PPzfb8-FOg0ys_f_q58m0JgtgvwpH3o8yD37LbzqVTx_H2l7gtLMv1xUkgcrXKnQVEecDCvpw-ei19w=s4500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="4500" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAAYqO8aPaLb9dajC5spZ7pZLFtw9vCKDjrGjeP5yqY1wNTnPsDlv2Z1LcxTmb646GwgaviCHz-WsCLZcHd8F5YvmtV-3HuSi9aLrc9oBWjD9PPzfb8-FOg0ys_f_q58m0JgtgvwpH3o8yD37LbzqVTx_H2l7gtLMv1xUkgcrXKnQVEecDCvpw-ei19w=w640-h356" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #7e888b; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px;">© Tractebel Engineering - Palmbout Urban Landscapes</span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: arial;"><u>EN:</u></b><span style="font-family: arial;"> After the
renovation, the Noorderterras will be transformed into a green pedestrian
boulevard. To make the Noorderterras greener, plants were chosen that thrive in
the vicinity of the Scheldt with its brackish water. There will be large
planting beds in which a mixture of grasses such as verbena or large burnet
will be planted, which will then change into shrubs and bushes with a maximum
height of one and a half metres. There will also be zones with plants such as
sea kale, cypress herb and bluespirea. The planting beds are constructed in
such a way that they will also be able to buffer rainwater.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"<i>Because the planting beds
are on the city side, the view of the Scheldt is preserved. The seating, both
free-standing and as part of the planting beds, will also be placed with a view
of the Scheldt,</i>" says Annick De Ridder, Alderman for Urban Development.
Furthermore, for the renovation of the terraces we will also examine whether
the roofs can be partially opened up so that more light can reach the quays.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If all goes well, work on the
Noorderterras will start in the summer of 2022. As a result, the walking
terrace will be closed off to the public for a while. Kaailine' is part of the
central part of the Scheldt quays, between Noorderterras and Zuiderterras. For
that part, a design for the quay area is in preparation. The reconstruction of
the quays between the Noorderterras and the Steenplein, whereby the space under
the terrace will also be given a new interpretation, is planned from the spring
of 2024.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgc8eG9yea9IH-WLRqoZCjNkbFbzc52zspnxdeEpVYPxanbrL5MDj2IfXaH50p2SnAuMRvYYA01RJiJChxUGWF-_eI6ZL7zB__TVOXQv_HmKJ1ocsg4BXh8YJhqHMrqXnaDYRT7f-WdI8vVvOn8SXoFoN8Kyf8y9LuD23jx-0zEB6hb6UJ4ABSMz5nang=s1000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgc8eG9yea9IH-WLRqoZCjNkbFbzc52zspnxdeEpVYPxanbrL5MDj2IfXaH50p2SnAuMRvYYA01RJiJChxUGWF-_eI6ZL7zB__TVOXQv_HmKJ1ocsg4BXh8YJhqHMrqXnaDYRT7f-WdI8vVvOn8SXoFoN8Kyf8y9LuD23jx-0zEB6hb6UJ4ABSMz5nang=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">_________</span></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="line-height: 13.91px;"><b></b></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">All images are strictly copyrighted!</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: start;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Do not copy without permission!</span></div></div>Cruiseschepen in Antwerpenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17561869517330141767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893998931079168519.post-66322455228860314592021-12-27T16:24:00.000+01:002021-12-27T16:24:51.060+01:00Infographic Cruiseseizoen 2021 / Cruise Season 2021<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1SIciPx7XiHsusC65WHqqRVMraRbbzPZCQr43uA4cKg1nLnGUjgEN0oQmsp0wBw__HuqFFQUDHrfenNuyLWj4_XtBkBO-ZQeBfF4ZMXmoHl6Y816A70POq-k6_9yHRZDliywNF4QHpefzL6DCVF4tVsKgtthtlQ7LxqfdBLDzdfm4REdQMRc44RDDNA=s3441" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3441" data-original-width="2400" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1SIciPx7XiHsusC65WHqqRVMraRbbzPZCQr43uA4cKg1nLnGUjgEN0oQmsp0wBw__HuqFFQUDHrfenNuyLWj4_XtBkBO-ZQeBfF4ZMXmoHl6Y816A70POq-k6_9yHRZDliywNF4QHpefzL6DCVF4tVsKgtthtlQ7LxqfdBLDzdfm4REdQMRc44RDDNA=w446-h640" width="446" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh2mNh3HY_0VxLm-r9nxwxmPUaVQsKD6EU6lcB06m3LsG8oHgsRZb8cliKKpLmXzaetwRiL131do-NMvtIrlejr8ckZeoLdUA1SYc73moMGk2eY68pQeguV00gURjHZGOpxRFTCDs-FY0YKRSczgrHVjDwaNYRNIuiEiP0SgA-nEJxY2MEnLC0_HmiRww=s998" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="798" data-original-width="998" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh2mNh3HY_0VxLm-r9nxwxmPUaVQsKD6EU6lcB06m3LsG8oHgsRZb8cliKKpLmXzaetwRiL131do-NMvtIrlejr8ckZeoLdUA1SYc73moMGk2eY68pQeguV00gURjHZGOpxRFTCDs-FY0YKRSczgrHVjDwaNYRNIuiEiP0SgA-nEJxY2MEnLC0_HmiRww=w640-h512" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Cruiseschepen in Antwerpenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17561869517330141767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893998931079168519.post-39328873279303548162021-11-09T17:03:00.000+01:002021-11-09T17:03:55.699+01:00MS Bolette sluit cruiseseizoen voor 2021 af / MS Bolette closes cruise season of 2021<p><b><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>NL:</u> Het cruiseschip Bolette van de Engelse rederij

not a bad number. Initially, a few extra calls were expected, but these were

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> MS Bolette was het eerste cruiseschip dat
aanmeerde in Antwerpen sinds de officiële opening van Het Steen als toeristisch
centrum. Toch was het nog niet mogelijk om de cruiseterminal te gebruiken omdat
de verbinding tussen het terminalgebouw en het cruiseponton nog volop afgewerkt
wordt. Van zodra dat in orde is kunnen de passagiers ook in stijl ontvangen
worden in het middeleeuwse fort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Voor de fotografen was het wel al mogelijk om voor de eerste
keer een cruiseschip te fotograferen vanuit de nieuwe uitkijktoren van Het
Steen. Van daaruit krijg je een knap zicht over het volledige cruiseponton.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> MS Bolette was the first cruise ship to
berth in Antwerp since the official opening of Het Steen as a tourist centre.
However, it was not yet possible to use the cruise terminal because the
connection between the terminal building and the cruise pontoon is still being
finished. As soon as that is in order, the passengers can be received in style in
the medieval fortress.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For the photographers though, it was possible to photograph
a cruise ship for the first time from the new observation tower at Het Steen.
From there, you get a great view of the entire cruise pontoon.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9iaPNpSdhg8/YYqZ7xOsMbI/AAAAAAAAFIE/ZuykjRonfqkjtQ_RPDx1AIuLSCObF-oYQCPcBGAYYCw/s1000/DSC_5855-2-DeNoiseAI-standard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9iaPNpSdhg8/YYqZ7xOsMbI/AAAAAAAAFIE/ZuykjRonfqkjtQ_RPDx1AIuLSCObF-oYQCPcBGAYYCw/w640-h426/DSC_5855-2-DeNoiseAI-standard.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>

van het schip als ‘MS Bolette’, toch is het niet de alleerste keer dat het

Antwerpen als MS Amsterdam van Holland America Line. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 2020 kocht Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines het schip nadat de
Carnival Corp., het moederbedrijf van Holland America Line, door de coronapandemie
versneld afscheid nam van maar liefst 19 cruiseschepen. Ook haar zusterschip MS
Rotterdam werd gekocht door Fred. Olsen. Dat schip kreeg de naam Borealis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

In 2001, the ship was already docked in Antwerp twice as Holland America Line's
MS Amsterdam. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 2020, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines bought the ship after
Carnival Corp., Holland America Line's parent company, accelerated the
departure of no less than 19 cruise ships due to the corona pandemic. Her
sister ship MS Rotterdam was also bought by Fred. Olsen. That ship was named
Borealis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

without ever having entered the city's oldest building. I have always found
that a great pity. With this restoration, the ‘Sinjoren’ will now get 'their' Steen

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> Voor de strakke
timing te respecteren ging de kapitein nog even op de rem staan: zondag stipt
om 13.30u nam de Global Mercy feilloos de laatste Scheldebocht
richting het oude stadscentrum van Antwerpen. Talloze kijklustigen vergaapten
zich langs de kaaien aan het 174 meter lange schip, begeleid door een paar
slepers van het Havenbedrijf, die voor een feestelijk watergordijn zorgden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Het nieuwe ziekenhuisschip zal
ongeveer een half jaar lang blijven liggen aan het operationele hoofdkwartier
(NOC, kaai 602) van het Havenbedrijf, waar het helemaal wordt afgewerkt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Als alles goed gaat, moet het
schip in februari klaar zijn voor vertrek. Tegen die tijd moet het uitgerust
zijn met 199 bedden, 6 operatiezalen, een labo, scanners, maar ook een groot
auditorium voor opleidingen aan lokale hulpverleners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">De Global Mercy is met zijn
172 meter nog een heel stuk groter dan de 152 meter lange Africa Mercy,
die zijn titel van grootste particuliere ziekenhuisschip hiermee moet afstaan.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_wkuHPgiObY/YUDfcnHbMqI/AAAAAAAAFEQ/hebrE7HM_P0AiCVg7mMwliqy_r0y-NMNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/DSC_7569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="673" data-original-width="1000" height="430" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_wkuHPgiObY/YUDfcnHbMqI/AAAAAAAAFEQ/hebrE7HM_P0AiCVg7mMwliqy_r0y-NMNQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h430/DSC_7569.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cruiseshipsinantwerp.be/en---andere-global%20mercy.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="412" data-original-width="2021" height="130" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wvLwXQNjYrw/VRwYzgZ5nEI/AAAAAAAADDc/6SEuUWZZzTQGjiJvnQPpTgUUonHxd0SnACPcBGAYYCw/w640-h130/Blog%2BBanner%2BApril%2B2015.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> To respect the
tight timing, the captain applied the brakes: at exactly 13.30 hrs on Sunday,
the Global Mercy made the last turn on the river Scheldt towards the old city
centre of Antwerp. Numerous spectators gazed at the 174-metre-long ship along
the quays, accompanied by a couple of tugboats from the Port Authority, which
created a festive water curtain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The new hospital ship will be
moored at the operational headquarters (NOC, quay 602) of the Port Company for
about six months, where it will be completely finished.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If all goes well, the ship should
be ready for departure in February. By then, it should be equipped with 199
beds, 6 operating theatres, a lab, scanners, but also a large auditorium for
training local aid workers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">With its 172 metres, the Global
Mercy is still a lot larger than the 152-metre Africa Mercy, which will
relinquish its title as the largest private hospital ship.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IrLQZtDbc3I/YUDe0PnhsyI/AAAAAAAAFDw/5UwXWhzKHTIbSHKYSvyPmJfDSVrHNF9CgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/DSC_1465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IrLQZtDbc3I/YUDe0PnhsyI/AAAAAAAAFDw/5UwXWhzKHTIbSHKYSvyPmJfDSVrHNF9CgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/DSC_1465.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BUPmnp8nL_0/YUDe0EAzDOI/AAAAAAAAFD0/uJLM1Ba5_0MhUWzVKfvIPEIEeVBRhG0UwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/DSC_7572.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="1000" height="212" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BUPmnp8nL_0/YUDe0EAzDOI/AAAAAAAAFD0/uJLM1Ba5_0MhUWzVKfvIPEIEeVBRhG0UwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/DSC_7572.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>NL:</u></b> De eerste
reisbestemming van de Global Mercy wordt de Senegalese hoofdstad
Dakar. De lokale bevolking zal er terechtkunnen voor allerhande medische hulp,
zoals het verwijderen van tumoren, tandzorg, enzovoort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Onderwijs en gezondheidszorg
zijn hier in het Westen de normaalste zaak van de wereld, maar 5 miljard mensen
hebben geen toegang tot gezondheidszorg”, zegt Bert van Dijk, voorzitter van
Mercy Ships België. “Een groot deel daarvan moeten we situeren in Sub-Saharisch
Afrika, op slechts een paar uur vliegen hiervandaan. We zien daar veel wanhoop.
Maar Mercy Ships heeft intussen al 2,5 miljoen mensen kunnen helpen.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Volgens Van Dijk zou het schip
aanvankelijk in de Filipijnen worden afgewerkt, maar corona strooide roet in
het eten. Mercy Ships Belgium ging te rade bij zijn trouwe partner Port of
Antwerp of de afwerking niet hier zou kunnen gebeuren. “We hebben geen seconde
getwijfeld”, zegt Rob Smeets, COO van het Havenbedrijf Antwerpen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Een ploeg van meer dan twintig
mensen heeft een jaar keihard gewerkt om hier de nodige voorbereidingen te
treffen. We hebben zelfs een miniterminal gebouwd. We zijn dan ook trots dat
de Global Mercy naar hier komt voor zijn afwerking.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>EN:</u></b> The first
travel destination of the Global Mercy will be Senegal's capital Dakar. The
local population will be able to go there for all kinds of medical assistance,
such as tumor removal, dental care, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"Education and healthcare
are the most normal things in the world here in the West, but 5 billion people
have no access to healthcare," says Bert van Dijk, President of Mercy
Ships Belgium. "A large part of that is in Sub-Saharan Africa, just a few
hours' flight away. We see a lot of despair there. But Mercy Ships has already
been able to help 2.5 million people."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">According to Van Dijk, the ship
was initially supposed to be finished in the Philippines, but corona threw a
spanner in the works. Mercy Ships Belgium consulted its loyal partner Port of
Antwerp to see if the finishing touches could be made here. "We did not
hesitate for a second," says Rob Smeets, COO of the Port of Antwerp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"A team of more than twenty
people have worked extremely hard for a year to make the necessary
preparations. We have even built a mini terminal. So we are proud that the
Global Mercy is coming here for its finishing touches."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
