Mucho puko!!
You simply have to be on board to experience it, a video does not convey the true experience but nonetheless if you have been on a similar crossing then the memory should assist
….’ In case we went down’…..come on, I know the vessel quivers and butts etc, the beast is somewhat tormented by the elements but it’s not going down is it!!
My ship back in 1990 when on the Stockholm-Helsinki route as M/S Olympia for Viking Line. I still miss her. She was a nice ship. My position was Able Seaman.
My old ship back in 1990 M/S Olympia.
I remember this crossing so vividly. To be honest, being on the ship was the best part of the holiday. The main deck was trashed when we came up for breakfast. We had a naval escort on the second night in case we went down. Their scanners are stronger than a domestic ship. We diverted 8 miles off our heading to avoid the deepest part of the Bay of Biscay.
What is the titel of the music track from Freeplay Music?
We were on this ship. We had one of the front luxury cabins in the hope to watch the see for dolphins Nd whales but the storm was so bad the windows were boarded up and we were sea sick. We had been on this same as hip many times but never been Sea sick before. Put us right off sea travel.
I went on the Bilbao once..... Still alive thank god. Had a biblical storm, I actually thought death was coming. The bay of biscay is mental.
Mum used to call these waves ''White horses'' {Neptune's Horses roiling and playing in the sea} She'd try to make light of rough weather to us kids.
That is a definite ''Rough Sea'' crossing. As a child on ''Falaise'' {A tiny ferry} we had a belter of a Crossing from Dieppe to Newhaven. The Decks were closed, and I was told by Mum ''You are lucky! You don't get seasick''... But I definitely didn't feel ''Right''....Sort of headachey and giddy and feeling a bit 'yuck'. {That is definitely 'Seasickness in my book}. The crossing seemed interminable, but at least she was allowed to Dock..{Maybe as she was quite small} ..Never have I been so glad tosee the dear, familiar White Cliffs appear, disembark and feel solid land beneath my feet , and get home to a cup of tea and to see our Siamese cat! {Mum and I missed him terribly on ''Foreign'' holidays..{Those were the days of 6 month Quarantine stays..}
Sistership MARIELLA now on sama waters on Biscay. Sold to Italy.
I was on this trip! Mental
Had a mini cruise on this as a teenager lovley vessel it was to endure the biscay
remember that crossing i was on it was really bad the duty free shop was rolling all the bottles around the floor plates smashing in the canteens even the hose pipes where falling out of the housings and the swimming pool below became a wave pool
I was there , the video doesn't convey just how terrifying it was.
That's true enough...Video/film can't portray the size of the waves, they always look much smaller on film, as do slopes on mountains/hills. Depth perception isn't possible on 2D film.
I was on this ship in this storm , the only time I have been seasick. Terrifying absolutely terrifying. I remember everyone being told to sit on the middle deck on the floor so we could attempt to turn into the English channel , the ship rolled so far over there was water on the windows . When we finally docked the front of my VW camper was all smashed in , several big trucks had turned over and a beautiful Bristol sports car had been smashed to pieces.
I was on the trip it’s crazy when I think about it I’ll never forget it even tho I was 4 at the time am now 17 and it still scares me just watching the video
I used to work there ages ago...great memories
même pendant les tempêtes c'était fabuleux
Love it. ..
Such a shame this cruise isnt going anymore, went on it around 5 times, loved it everytime.
I was on this boat back around 1995 and was caught in the middle of a MAJOR storm. Scary as hell when you 13!
A. Nonny Mouse what made you think what I said was not mature at all? its FACT I was on that boat back then. Am I saying I witnessed the Pyramids in Egypt when they was being built? does it REALLY sound that impossible to imagine?
I wonder how they dared to take this ship in such conditions. MS Olympia had a vulnerable bow visor design. See the case of MS Estonia who sank in the Baltic Sea in 1994.
No, Olympa and Mariella had a strong visior systems... Viking Sally and Diana II had some weaknesses...
We were on this trip!!! Nightmare voyage!!
I went on this once and we had a force 10 gale, a lot of people were ill (including some staff) and one of things that closed was the cinema. I was one of a few who felt fine.
I was on the ship coming from north spain it was scary
i was on it i was 7 crash bottom deck coach car in sea my car
i was on that boat in the cinema
its amazing
People have been waiting for that answer on this video for a long time, thanks a lot bro :)
I was on that ship during the storm. Me and my dad were getting lunch then we saw some of the plates and trays fell down because we struck a wave and I lost my footing and fell down and my dad didn't help me. He just stayed there and pissed himself laughing at me.

Brings back memories, never a fuckin again, force 9 was enough!
i was on it i was 3
She's actually built for the Helsinki-Stockholm route.
now that she has gone brittany ferries will charge what ever they want. at least she is still sailing
the pride of bilbao now sails between stockholm (sweden) and st petersburg (russia) throught the baltic sea. i was planning on visiting the baltic area next year and i was wondering what to do up there - the pride of bilbao (or princess anastasia) has provided a solution :)
i remember being on this ship doing a tabacco run ,in the cabin for the duration it WAS bad lol!!!!
Nice video,nice song,can anyone know what is name of song:)
gonna save up to buy her well at least a model
great vid shame u never see her or cruise on her again
She was one tough cookie :) but the Bay was never able to take a bite out of her.
lovely ship =)
love this video, this ship and its sister,excellent builds =) so good that they still in use,would be a shame to sell them away to asia or such as that. this video shows what an excellent ship she is,carrying passengers safely in this weather =D never to worry, ship is built to be at sea,even in storm. just get over the ride and wait for next morning beeing at port =) she never let us down. Now she is princess anastacia, I think she looks good,never been onboard,outside is very nice =)
I love the pride of bilbao! I have been on it once and it got a bit choppy but it was not as bad as this. It is just such a shame that she has now gone. p.s. I love the video!!!!!
Viking Line has her sistership called Mariella..
@ajlisknillat I guess you're right - actually I was more worried about her being scrapped or going to the Far East or something. But Scandinavia isn't very far away..
@reduolf I see your point but im sure she will have a good time serving us here, always welcome for a cruise;-) And,we are very happy to have her back, the sisters togheter once again. it is to cute..really. if she was a human,she would prefer beeing here,where she has her origin from hahaha Just kidding. sad that shes leaving you but lucky for us!! :D
