World Arrives in Seattle


The WORLD has arrived in Seattle!



The World, an enormous private cruise ship with 165 luxury homes on board arrived in Seattle this morning. Link to a local news article.  When it comes to ship spotting, this one is most unusual! In our photo above note that one of the ship's tenders is about to be lowered so that passengers can tender into port. Our regular cruise ship terminals are busy today with other cruise ships ... the Norwegian Pearl at Pier 66, Emerald Princess and Holland America Oosterdam at Pier 91.

  6. Great photos. Watching the ships come in and out of the Sound must be very interesting. Do you live where you can see them, or do you have a favorite spot to watch and photograph from? Either way John, your posts are always interesting and make me want to visit Seattle again. You;re a great PR person for the Seattle area :)
