Ep. 188 Sunday, June 23, 2024
In episode 188 of The Big Cruise Podcast, Chris answers a maritime history question from listener Stephen, about the cruise line, Asian Pacific Cruises and the ship, Minghau. We have a great selection of cruise news from Disney, Explora Journeys, Carnival Corporation, Costa, Celebrity, Carnival, Cunard, Uniworld & Seabourn. Plus Chris surprises Baz with a Fact or Fiction?
Listener Question/feedback:
Andrew asks: “Hi I love your podcast. I was wondering if you could do a short history of the Asian Pacific Cruises company that operated the Minghua out of Australia in the early 80’s. I saw an old for the Minghua sailings on RUclips and was interested in it’s history as it would be great to see an Asian themed cruise company sail out of Australia again.”
YuSaNa added a comment via Buy me a coffee: “I like to listen to your podcasts! Thanks for sharing info about cruise trips. I’d recommend checking out a Nile River cruises. Maybe you can make podcast with them also. It like a fantastic travel destination; I definitely want to plan a visit there soon! Looking forward to more great content from you guys! Cheers!”

Svalbard is AMAZING

Nice story about Ancerville. She was a near sister of the Renaissance of Paquet Lines. Glad she is still Around. Hope she is in decent shape.!!
About your bridge !! Don’t let them touch it. The sister bridge, Bayonne Bridge, is from my home town, Staten Island, in NY. They have RUINED it by raising the deck. It now sits in the middle of the arch and looks horrible. Tell them HANDS OFF. COSTA Dee-A-demma
