What are itineraries, routes, legs, stopovers, and waypoints?
- An itinerary is a route divided into legs showing the planned locations and dates of the main stopovers from the start (S) (initial departure) to the finish (F) (final arrival), which is the destination of the vessel's journey (also called voyage, trip, torn, or expedition).
Each leg has a departure and an arrival date and location. It may also have additional waypoints in between, which might be stopping points or course change points.
Accuracy of itineraries
Itineraries for vessels at sea are never precise! We use three accuracy levels for the planning status to avoid confusion about what is likely to happen or not:
- Pending (not accurate) – initial idea, possibilities
- Preliminary (kinda accurate) – changes may still apply
- Planned (reasonably accurate) – this is what's meant to happen
Days vs Nights
The duration of an itinerary is counted in days (start to end date) and the leg in nights (departure to arrival date). That is because you may arrive on a Monday and leave on a Tuesday. Therefore, there can be confusion if you were there for one or two days, but it would strictly count as one night without any confusion.
Therefore, you would say you went on a 14-day holiday or trip (the itinerary) and spent 13 nights on all your legs combined, for example.
Planning vs Estimates
There is also an important distinction between planning (what's the intention) and estimating (what's calculated). A time of arrival is always an estimate as a calculation is required; that's why it is called ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival).
You can't plan to leave San Francisco and arrive in Hawaii 10 minutes later, regardless of how desperate your intention is. If you intend to arrive in Hawaii by a certain date and estimate 10 days for the journey, then you can plan to leave San Francisco 12 to 15 days before. Therefore, your departure date is planned (what's the intention), and the arrival is still an estimate (what's calculated based on season, winds, currents, and many other factors). Plans can change due to weather, government requirements, breakdowns, delays, etc.
Tips for planning an itinerary
The following tips are worth noting to manage your itinerary and maintain an excellent overview:
- Name your itinerary with a short and clear title, such as 2025 Antarctic Expedition or 2025 Italy Family Cruise, that is descriptive, easy to remember, and simple to refer to in conversations.
- You can set your itinerary's visibility to private while planning it, share it with only those you contact, or share it with anyone who views your profile.
- Next, add each leg of the significant stopovers by date and location.
- Then, keep updating each leg as required.
Be realistic and mindful when planning an itinerary. People will arrange their timing and life around it, taking time off work, booking flights, arranging accommodation, etc. It's crucial to let the crew know how accurate they can expect the itinerary to be.

Dear Shipmates
Introduction
In der ersten Woche durch den Öresund (Malmö, Kopenhagen) oder durch den grossen Belt nach Göteborg segeln.
In der zweiten Woche durch den Götakanal, über den Vänern und Vättern See nach Mem.
In der dritten Woche von Mem zurück nach Greifswald segeln oder je nach dem den Umweg durch den Södertälje Kanal nach Stockholm noch mit zunehmen.
Die Kosten für das Schiff, Liegeplätze, Diesel usw. würden wir uns aufteilen.
Je nach Schiffsgrösse hätten 3-4 Personen Platz.

Wär hätte Lust darauf?
The idea is to start from Germany, e.g. Greifswald.
In the first week, sail through the Öresund (Malmö, Copenhagen) or through the Great Belt to Gothenburg.
In the second week through the Göta Canal, over Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern to Mem.
In the third week sail from Mem back to Greifswald or, depending on the case, take the detour through the Södertälje Canal to Stockholm.
We would split the costs for the ship, berths, diesel, etc.
Depending on the size of the ship, there would be room for 3-4 people.
August 16 - Sept 6, 2025.
Would you like to do that?
