Norwegian Encore & Oosterdam
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, all cruise lines suspended operations from various dates in March 2020.  The 82,820grt Oosterdam arrived from the Caribbean on the 5th January 2021.  It was her second visit to the port, having originally called in her maiden year.  The second in the Vista class, debuting in 2003, she left Willemstad on the 7th December, arriving at Sint Eustatius anchorage on the 23rd before heading to Southampton.  Originally scheduled to resume cruising in May from Seattle, doing week-long Alaska trips, as per the CDC ruling of no cruises over 7 nights.  She sailed to Torbay at 6.30pm to join her HAL siblings.  Norwegian Encore was still in City Terminal.  Due to Coronavirus restrictions from a new lockdown from the 5th January, although not all during lay-up are shown, I have included them as they were in port.
For photos of the rest of the Coronavirus Southampton lay-up ships, go to 2020 and 2021 in the Southampton Stalking Index.
