Super yacht Big Eagle in Öresund

The classic super yacht Big Eagle passed by this morning: 



The captain is an American lady, Christiana Virgilio:


"Christiana grew up in San Diego, California.  Her childhood revolved around the water; sailing, diving, surfing, windsurfing, and waterskiing.  Almost every summer was spent on her family's sailboat.  After graduating from UCLA with a degree in Economics she decided to travel and have some fun working on sailboats.  Twenty-three years later the yachting industry is her career.  Christiana has captained Big Eagle through the Baltic, the British Isles, Panama, the Eastern and Western U.S. coastline, the Bahamas, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean from the very mouth of Gibraltar to Turkey's most Eastern shore. She is a dive master and enjoys guiding the guests on dives."

Noble Caledonian´s cruise ship Island Sky in Öresund

The Swedish owned Noble Caledonian´s (Salén shipping) flagship Island Sky
 was tonight on its way to Lysekil on the Swedish west coast: 


From the Salén shipping´s home page:

"Our much loved MS Island Sky is one of our three flagships and one of the finest small ships in the world. With a maximum passenger capacity of only 114, a vessel of her size is capable of carrying many more but instead the MS Island Sky has the benefit of unusually large suites, luxuriously appointed public areas and spacious outside decks. The vessel was built in 1992 and underwent significant refurbishments in 2010, 2013 and 2015."

The classical cruise ship MS Serenissima in Öresund

The classical cruise ship MS Serenissima was early this morning on
 its way from Skagen to Helsingör:



"The charming MS Serenissima began her career (in 1960) as the Harald Jarl, cruising the Norwegian coastline and fjords. Since 2003, when she was extensively renovated, she has been operating as a classic cruise ship. Previously known as the MS Andrea, she was upgraded again in 2013 and started her new life as the MS Serenissima. With her small size she can navigate into small, remote ports inaccessible to the big cruise ships and appears an impressive sight when moored. With her fleet of Zodiacs, she is capable of both destination and expedition cruising. In December 2018, the vessel will once again undergo a significant refurbishment and after a re-configuration of the deck plan will accommodate a maximum of just 95 guests."
