Cruise Miles

Does anyone know how to find out how many miles you will travel on a cruise?

Thanks,:)

oops. Mis-read post.

JB :o

On most ships on the ship's page on your TV and in hall way they say how many miles they've been, how far to next port and you can figure it out watching this.

If you google "distances between ports", you'll find some maritime distance calculators like sea-distances.org. These will give a distance from "sea buoy to sea buoy" (i.e. not including distance travelled while maneuvering) between major commercial ports, by the most usual routing. This doesn't include all cruise ship ports in places like the Caribbean, so sometimes you have to estimate. Also, remember that nautical miles are 6080 feet, not 5280 feet, so 1 nautical mile = 1.15 statute (land) miles.

No sure way but you can approximate it by drawing a path with Google Earth (avoiding landmasses and shallow waters of course). I just did this for my upcoming cruise: Over 13,400 km/8,200 miles over 22 days.

Using the Zaandam as a cheap ocean liner crossing from Vancouver to Valparaiso :D

The Log we get at the end of the cruise on HAL ships will give the nautical miles we have cruised.

Thank you everyone. I have some homework to do!!! Was just interested to know for our cruise in September.

I know that Princess also delivers a log of your cruise on the last night. If you could find someone doing the same itinerary on a cruise before yours, ask them. Check out the roll call threads to find them.

Ships log

Some ships produce it daily in the news letter to your cabin

Ask at pursers desk they can get it for you

HAL always distributes a log of every cruise the last night and it gives that information.
