I wish you would have had a video on the Song of Norway, Nordic Prince or Sun Viking.

I did this on March 17-27, 2024 to Kyushu and Busan, and also again July 7- 17, 2024 to Hokkaido and Jeju! And bumped into 2 parties that were same cruise with us in March.

Heading out to Japan and cruising on the Diamond Princess in May '25 for 10 days. Can't wait, it will be our first visit to Japan.

My very first cruise was on board the Holiday in May of 1992. Western Caribbean. I've got vhs tapes of that awesome week in a box somewhere .

Memories of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises....thank you.

The Scandinavian Mini passenger liner Gamle Skogoy was sunk at its moorings for years submerged to its funnel and is now being restored. She was built around the same time. Since 2017

thank you for uploading Peter - she is / was a fantastic ship. Sailed on her as Sunbird and Thomson Destiny - probably about 12 times in total. The Caribbean voyages and those around Nice and Monte Carlo were my favourite. The best thing is about the ship was the size - just perfect, and it mean't a great atmosphere on board where everyone became friends pretty quickly. I never felt the need for an ice rink or a rock climbing wall........ever! Unsure if she's already been scrapped or not?? I see as of today only a 10 day old AIS on Marine Traffic near Sweden of all places. Thats some way from Turkey / India. I am really not sure what is happening, but 42 years is a good age. I don't know what her machinery is like, but the public areas are still fantastic. I never got to see her as Olympia but for me the ship "died" when it left the British market. :-) Pass the tissues..... Thank you for SUPERB videos as usual.

Bitte Nein! 😢

your videos deserve more views!

Never enough money to pull this off. Let it rest.

Wow how amazing is this!!

Hell no for me! Great job Mike

As per usual, a brilliant documentary on a ship that was, in a sense, the most popular cruise ship of her time operating out of Sydney. Musicians who became household names in Australia performed on this fine ship. The Seekers, The Bee Gees, just to name a few. Fairstar was a credit to her builders and is still missed to this day.

Wow very cool video Peter!Also it was scary but very cool to see Mike climb to the platform on the mast pretty cool!😀

Just heard the news that she's gonna be towed to the scrap yard, really sad that's how her story ends. Was really hoping to see her completed :(

I was just watching the Love Boat today! I love that show. I would have loved being on this cruise to see the cast. And I like DuVaul too. We cruised on the Discovery Princess to Alaska about a year ago and he was really funny.

Brave Mike! And to think of how the Sea Cloud sailors scramble up and down, scaling these heights all the time on a moving ship, yikes!

Awesome! Loved the music too!!

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Wow, Mike is a.tough one! I don't know if I would dare to do that, the older I get the more I'm afraid of heights 😅 Great video, Peter! ❤

Hi Peter, It's such an adventure and experience. I thought you had a fear of heights, Well done and thank you for sharing.

Love your channel

Great Video! We are sailing on Diamond Princess, to Japan in May next year. I would like to ask, are the local tours purchased from the Princess? Thank you!

Love this, worked on her in 93 and did europe, the med, middle east and malasia, indonesia, far east, south pacific, new zealand, australia aboard, wonderful memories. I do recognise some of the crew in the video.

Went on this ship I believe in 1996, I am currently holding in my hand a memory I kept from this Cruise: A Wind Star Dining Room Reservation "Booking No.: 947Y33" "Voyage : EC4021296" "Table No.: 173" Was an amazing experience! Just a Teen and the time. We sailed From Miami to Key West Florida, then to Cozumel Mexico, visited the Pyramids in Tulum. Remember bathing in the pool whie passing through the Gulf of Mexico, the Salinity of the water in the pool was soo high and I had blisters on my lips due to the cold weather in Miami the week before (I live in the Warm, Caribean) ohh how it burned!!! The waiter was a really cool guy who was originally from India. Can't remember his name! Wished to meet him again sometime; my family and I got really close to him; the 5 days aboard the ship! I get sea sick so I was worried, but the first three days I was fine! Was told She was 30 feet shorter than the Titanic! True, I didn't feel the rocking of the sea at all ! HOWEVER on the 3rd day/night, there was a storm in the Gulf of Mexico; this sealed my fate of Sea Sickness. I had to miss dinner that night...I remember hearing the photographer from the bedroom, out at the stairwell in the Atrium taking photographs of everyone who passed there on their way to dinner, etc. in his Chinese English Accent "All tigether now! All together, SMILE!!" While I was in the bedroom totally Sea Sick! The maids came to clean the room and asked me to sit out in the Atrium Couches while they cleaned the room; I didn't want to go anywhere but I had to... oh well the carpet out there paid the price!!! LOL ! After that! I felt fine ! Wne to the Restaurant an had a heavily seasoned Virgin Mary (it settled my stomach when flying and well now sailing). The next day the weather cleared and seas were calm again.. rest of the voyage I was fine. Would have loved to revisit this Ship but now she was laid to rest in 2022. Hope one day, I can afford to take another Cruise on one of the Carnival Cruise Liners!

I hope that maybe, just maybe, a new Sitmar Cruise Line will be the replacement of P&O Australia.

Man im old, Mardi Gras was my first cruise in 1980ish with my parents... Way different experience than today. Some good, some not so good.

I was fortunate enough to sail on Britanis, on my first cruise - in the 80s - to Bermuda. (It was also nice to get a glimpse of Kevin Anthony in this video. We worked together at 'another cruise line'.)

Great video… we will dock in Busan this October however on the large Quantum of the seas… one of the excursions is to Haedong Temple… my husband is concerned about too many stairs due to a knee issue … did you find this was a problem at this attraction?

Jill Whelan who played Vicki on The Love boat grew up on that show she was little when the show was running I remember her going from a little girl to wearing beautiful dresses

I love the love boat. I was actually watching it today on Pluto TV

😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯 Ohhhhhhhhh to be HUGELY RICH ENOUGH to take a cruise on this gorgeous ship. The vast majority of the worlds population will never be able to afford it.

Thank you for the great work you done I am going back to back on 8/13 to 8/18 And 8/18 to 8/24 🇲🇽🇺🇸🇪🇬🇺🇸

Thank you for the post, it was very interesting.

crappy music to go with the crappy little ships. I had to put it on mute, the music was so annoying nd intrusive. But the cc sucked even more. Safe to say, I am not subscribing.

I remember when I went on the Holidays Maid Voyage she was a good ship

I immigrated on her in 1966 as a 10 year old

Thanks for the great content. We are sailing on Diamond, to Australia in September. This video was helpful.

Great ship

That sucks, I was hoping he actually got to finish his boat😢

Today's cruise ships look like boxes. No personality.

I am such a fan of the beautiful ocean liners. Thank you for these awesome videos.

Even in this sad state, she’s still such a beauty!

July 2024, New England, Boston to Montreal. 7 day. This ship while older is a classic lady. The food, staff and service are unmatched!

What an outstanding video! Thank you again for everything

Sailed on her twice in the early 80’s. She was beautiful then.

Now because the Aurora sank. There's now a push to remove a lot of the abandoned vessels in the Delta. Which comes to mind, what's going to happen to the USCGC Fir? The last information I can get, was their Facebook Page asking about possible new owners. But that was on February 5, 2023. And since than, it's sitting there still. I've tried to message them about what's going to happen to her, but no response other than 'seen'. The owner or former owner did a lot of work on her, from repainting, changing the actual structure to her original layout, adding new generators, etc. But it all stopped. I hope it doesn't have the same fate as the Aurora, and the other vessels right next to it.
