Deck 10 balcony view approaching sunset on a Grand-class cruise ship for #SchiffsSamstag today. This was P&O Ventura a few years ago and two weeks today we'll be back on her for a trip down to the Canary Islands.

We're on the open ocean on a cruise ship and the sun is just about to set on the horizon directly ahead of us. We're on our balcony which sticks out a little from those above us so we've got a view along the railing that runs down the length of the ship towards the front. The sun is a soft, glowing, golden orb that renders the ship in silhouette except for a dappled reflection along the varnished railing. The sea to our right is calm and a deep blue-black in colour. The horizon fades from the gold where the sun is to a pale but warm orange-grey on the right and the blue in it only grows gradually as we look upwards. It's very serene, with a cool wind offset by the heat of the setting sun on our faces.

For #SchiffsSamstag this is GNV Rhapsody, an Italian cruiseferry in the port of Zadar, Croatia in 2023. In 2012, as Napoleon Bonaparte, she broke moorings in Marseille, hit the dock, and sank. She was refloated and sold.

We're on a cruise ship heading out to sea from a port area. It's a bright day with the only cloud that hovering over very distant mountains and light that suggests it's late afternoon heading into early evening. The sea is calm and our view is back towards a few piers jutting out from the low land of the outskirts of a city. A ship is docked at one of the piers, its bow pointing out to sea and to our left. The ship has a white hull and is quite stocky with two funnels next to each other towards the ship's rear. Large blue lettering GNV is on the ship's side.

A car and passenger ferry on its route from Xiamen island to the Chinese mainland, taken in 2018 for #SchiffsSamstag today.

We're on one side of a wide stretch of calm water, looking across to a city skyline of skyscrapers on the distant shore backed by a more distant range of hills. It's a bright day with a little cloud and haziness in the air so the sky appears pale and the landscape over the water is similarly faint. Our focus is on a reasonably small car and passenger ferry passing to the left in the middle distance. The vessel has white upper decks over a hull that might once have been a deep blue but is now closer to a slate colour with lots of signs of neglect in the form of scratched paintwork and rust stains. The main decks are bunched in the centre of the ferry and there are four of them, tapering slightly towards a small bridge on the very top, and each with some open deck spots for passengers to enjoy the view. We can see a handful of people in gaps on the decks but more are gathered towards the aft behind a gap where the red container on a truck stands out for its colour.

For #SchiffsSamstag this is West-Hinder II, one of three lightships that were used off the Belgian coast to mark banks for sea traffic between 1950 (when they were built) and 1994 (when they were replaced with platforms).
