Been There – Norwegian Gem

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Norwegian Gem is a mug for one of Norwegian Cruise Line’s most successful Jewel-class vessels. Built by Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, at a cost of approximately $700 million and launched in 2007, she was the last ship of her class to be constructed. During her construction, an innovative hull design was implemented that improved fuel efficiency by 5% compared to her sister ships. An interesting fact about her construction is that she was too large to pass through the River Ems normally, so the ship had to be conveyed backward over a distance of about 20 miles to reach the North Sea.… Read more

You Are Here – Wroclaw

You Are Here – Metzingen

Starbucks You Are Here – Metzingen brings bright colors into this winter season. It makes it the eighteenth German mug (not counting Christmas versions) in the YAH collection
The mug showcases the views of the historical part of this small (with a population of 22,000 people only) city, which, in my opinion, makes the design of the mug look great.
There is a suit on the back of the mug, which, I guess, refers to Hugo Boss brand, that calls Metzingen home.… Read more

You Are Here – Basel

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here – Basel was released almost a month ago and I am finally adding it to the list.
Basel is the third most populous city in Switzerland and is located on the border with two other European countries – Germany and France. Interestingly enough, some of Basel’s suburbs are located outside of the country. Switzerland is a member of the Schengen Area so no passport check is required when crossing the border from France or Germany, however, since it is not a member of the EU, you have to declare any goods you bring in.… Read more
