My forthcoming transatlantic cruise in just over two weeks time takes me through a few time zones:

UK is on GMT+1 = British Summer Time

We depart from Dover (UK)

The first port of call is the Shetland Islands, which naturally our clocks stay the same as home.

Second Port is Iceland, which is one hour behind UK

Third port is St John’s Newfoundland, time zone is Newfoundland, and is 3.5 hours behind UK

Forth Port is Halifax Nova Scotia; this is Atlantic Time, being 4 hours behind the UK.

Final port is New York, on Eastern Standard Time 5 hours behind UK

We usually cruise from the Med or to the Med, and the time difference is minus or plus six hours.
