Marine science relies on fieldwork for data collection, yet sea-going opportunities are limited due to financial costs, logistical constraints, and environmental burdens. We present an alternative means, namely `VirtualShip`, for training scientists to conduct oceanographic fieldwork in an authentic manner, to plan future expeditions and deployments, and to directly compare observational and instrumentational strategies with model data.

`VirtualShip` goes beyond simply extracting grid-cell values from model output. Instead, it uses programmable behaviours and sophisticated interpolation techniques (with `Parcels` underpinnings) to access data in exact locations and timings, as if they were being collected by real-world instruments. `VirtualShip` shares some functionality with existing tools, such as `OceanSpy` [@Almansi2019] and `VirtualFleet` [@Maze2023], but extends capabilities to mesh many different instrument deployments into a unified expedition simulation framework. Moreover, `VirtualShip` exploits readily available, streamable data via the Copernicus Marine Data Store, removing the need for users to download and manage large datasets locally and/or arrange for access to remote servers. `VirtualShip` can also integrate coordinate files exported from the [NIOZ Marine Facilities Planning](https://nioz.marinefacilitiesplanning.com/cruiselocationplanning#) (MFP) tool, giving users the option to define expedition waypoints via an intuitive web-based mapping interface.

1.`virtualship init`: Initialises the expedition directory structure and an `expedition.yaml` configuration file, which controls the expedition route, instrument choices and deployment timings. A common workflow is for users to import pre-determined waypoint coordinates using the `--from-mfp` flag in combination with a coordinates `.csv` or `.xlsx` file (e.g. exported from the NIOZ MFP tool).

2.`virtualship plan`: Launches a user-friendly Terminal-based expedition planning User Interface (UI), built using [`Textual`](https://textual.textualize.io/). This allows users to intuitively set their waypoint timings and instrument selections, and also modify their waypoint locations.
