Here in greece, we really miss her. Its from blue star ferries and it was traveling to the route Rhodes - Piraeus. Its a lovely ship and we are happy that you really apriciate her!

Lovely video, this ship brings back my childhood memories listening to the garage alarms. I used to take her from Athens to Leros. Keep up the good work you have earned a follower!👏🏾❤️

To anyone heading to this ferry follow the signs to Pembroke Dock, there is no port in Pembroke. (The marketing people apparently thought Pembroke Dock sounded a bit common, or maybe they just went there, if so fair enough! :) I have had a few people asking me the way to the ferry terminal in Pembroke town because they hooked a left turn to Pembroke when they saw the sign, instead of carrying straight on to Pembroke Dock.
Thanks for watching my video! Thats right, the ferry is at "Pembroke Dock" not Pembroke. Following the signage from St Clears I reached the ferry in around 30min by car. A blog will be posted to my website www.a2bviasea.co.uk in due course
As we see in video, embarkation process for passengers without vehicle, is comfortable by bus and maybe could be tested in major Greek ports such as Piraeus, Patras, Heraklion, Chania, Rhodes, Kos.
Hi. Thanks for watching my video! Definately. There are videos on my channel of the embarkation process in Greek ports.....quite a different experience! Blogs on www.a2bviasea.co.uk Mike Instagram: thebearded_blogger
I just got back from two DFDS Dover sailings crew where very strange with me insisting I do not film on board even through no one was around . No passengers on my film for privacy reasons . Very strange but will not be sailing with DFDS for many years to come . Anyway .
@@A2BviaSeaonTV A ferry’s flag depends on the port it’s registered in. The Blue Star 1 is registered in Piraeus, Greece and therefore bears the Greek flag on her stern.
Hi Patrick Thanks for watching my video! She is a great ship! My blog will be published soon to www.a2bviasea.co.uk Feel free to send in pictures of your journey aboard BS1 to Facebook page A2B via Sea
Hey got back Sunday 24th. It was a good crossing over and back, very quick, I did use the club class which was a little disappointing, not as good as the Innishmore.
Really grateful for this video. I really want to try her out now. I think you are the first person to properly video BS1. By all accounts she’s a reasonable fit for the route albeit no double deck loading. Are the crew Greek/Lithuanian?
Thank you so much! Yes, I recognised there is very little information of this ship which is why I made sure I could travel on her although, I had to change my plans owing to Storm Dudley and Eunice. To be honest I cannot confirm the nationality of the crew but yes, I believe them to be mainly Europeans on the hotel side of things.
Hi. Thanks for watching. It was a charter from Blue Star Ferries to Irish Ferries which was due to last one year with the option of a second year. It looks like IF have taken up that offer. The crew are a mixture of European nationalities
Wet lease is an aviation term, the marine term being “Time Charter”. Similar thing with the owner supplying the Deck-and Engineering crews, Irish Ferries as charterer provide the ‘Hotel Staff’ and also the bunkers (Fuel). A dry lease is termed a “Bare Boat Charter”

Hi Julian. Thanks for the kind comment and of course for following A2B via Sea on TV
Made the same trip when I was 13 way back in 2004. Those alarms will for ever be engraved in my mind as the start of the summer vacation.
This is very interesting and informative 👍

Beautiful ship. I used it 3 weeks ago. Piraeus to Naxos return
Comfortable fast and seems very reliable. 5 stars to Blue star ferries.

This video is very good could you make them all like this without the music I like the sounds of the ship
Hey Jack. Thanks for watching!
Will do.
By the way, more videos added recently. Enjoy!

Most of the crew members are Greek around 90% of them
Shame upper part of Rosslare terminal is not in use.
Me too! I think only once did I venture up there, I think back in 1999 or there abouts when the Koningin Beatrix was on the Fishguard run
Does anyone know how many poos the sceptic tank has to carry across the Irish Sea before its emptied …? I’m just asking for a friend.
Hi. Thanks for watching! Lol. I have no idea but, if I find out I'll let you know.
Is this a wet lease??? They have all the crew with them from Greece maybe??
