Color I show her bound for Seysfjordur, which at least has a small dock, and the Iceland cruises spend a long day there, until 11 pm. But to unload a ship and all its passengers and all their belongings in mid cruise just doesn’t make sense. It WOULD make sense to just board a new ship in Reykjavik.

Intriguing. I don’t really care where the Star goes as long as it’s in Fort Lauderdale on December 24 for our world cruise! 🙂 Sky is in Seydisfjordur on Star's first day there (21st) and Jupiter on the last day (24th).

Well that is interesting, and likely not a coincidence. I will say that Seysfjordur’s dock is TINY, only about 2/3 the length of the ship. I remember watching the captain in the bridge wing that morning taking it VERY slow and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancunian Posted July 17, 2021 #580 Share Posted July 17, 2021 This could be a long shot guess but could it be that there is something wrong with Jupiter or Sky, not serious enough for them to stop sailing but Viking is using the opportunity of Star being free to sort it out before cruising programme back to normal. It may be that J or Sky would then take over the Uk sailings. As I say an wild guess perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetcbl Posted July 17, 2021 #581 Share Posted July 17, 2021 What about if the Star is between sailings and just needs a port between its last port and the next one in the UK for a few days to wait out the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom.in.nc Posted July 17, 2021 #582 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Anchor : akkeri I think that means the Star will be in the anchorage and not docked. Agree? Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Yes, just translated it. Plus, there is no room for her at the dock if Sky or Jupiter is there. Tiny dock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharTrav Posted July 17, 2021 #584 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Interesting speculations. She is scheduled to be in Portsmouth Aug 7 to start England's Scenic Shores. Her schedule is blank in Sept and Oct. This is based on checking her schedule using both the UK and main site. She had been scheduled to do Malta and the Western Med from July thru October but that was cancelled. Lots of churn this Summer for sure.

Heidi13 Posted July 24, 2021 #587 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Looks like Viking Star has complete the package delivery and has departed Iceland, returning to Kristiansand for a few days, before heading for the UK cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi13 Posted July 25, 2021 #589 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Shortly after passing the Shetlands, Viking Star has performed a slow turn and is now on a reciprocal course at 20 kts. Destination still shows as Kristiansand, but she is now steaming in the opposite direction at full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No an expert, but I think 20 kits is about as fast as that ship goes. I wonder what’s up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted July 25, 2021 #594 Share Posted July 25, 2021 A ship can get quite a current boost in that part of the world. For or against but at 20kts indicated I suspect a bit of a lift.🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffordshirecruiser Posted July 25, 2021 #597 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Intriguing? The fact Star is returning to Iceland at speed is interesting. Do we know when the other two ships are next in Rejkavik? Did we ever find out what the deliveries were as that might provide a clue? Could it just be engine testing in certain sea conditions?

Sky will have left Reykjavik earlier this evening and will not be due back until early on Saturday July 31 Jupiter will be arriving into Reykjavik early on Tuesday July 27 before departing on the evening of Wednesday July 28. Not sure when Star is due to arrive off Reykjavik but is due back in the UK to commence some UK domestic cruisrs on Saturday August 7th, so probably plenty of time to drop off another couple of parcels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
