I love that look. They hired architects who KNOW what they're doing. The appearance is clearly retro but not overwhelming. On the other hand, they also made sure it was noticeable and that's what makes the room look great. Too often, architects go so lightly on a certain theme that it winds up looking like it was slapped together overnight and suddenly had one or two things changed just before they hand the guest the room key!
You should try Havila ferries in Norway, brand new ships with classic Scandinavian interior design. And stunning Norwegian scenery included with your ticket.
The ferry from Bilbao (Spain) to Rosslare (Ireland) takes 30 hours! Very comfortable ship. In March 2023 I had to make an emergency trip, but strikes in France meant no flights and no fuel for a drive to Cherbourg to take a shorter sea route. And yes, the voyage across the Bay of Biscay lived up to its reputation. But the ship was very stable and minimised any motion discomfort. I have often used the Cherbourg/Dublin route. That takes 24 hours. Note I should have mentioned that I live near the Spanish frontier, and, by chance had a full tank for the car to make it easily into Spain where fuel was readily available.
I was about to say I thought the ferries to/from Spain and the UK and Ireland were longer than this route. I regularly use the Santander to Portsmouth route and that is longer than 24 hours and the operator, Brittany Ferries, call it a "cruise" ferry.
I've done that route many times -- the last time was the opposite direction on that same ferry, though, walking down that entire zig-zag at midnight! I was in the owner's suite also -- fantastic monetary deal and so spacious! It was great fun :-)
The memories! I took this trip - the other way, but still - back in 2021 when I was on a month long Euro road trip in my Lincoln Town Car. I stayed in the same kind of cabin, and enjoyed the trip very much. Very cool to see Paul doing this trip!
I went with this ferry company a few times from Ancona to Patras, and once we had a room in front of the ship! It was like we were the captain, very cool! I think we were upgraded, because the room was HUGE. Like 3 times the size you have. It was in the corner, and looking at the map, it seemed the largest they have.
Great trip. Just realized this route exists, since as far as I know, only domestic ferry serve both cities, like Rome to Sardinia and Barcelona to Balearic Island.
The "fancy" dinner (of course just €30) didn't impress me much in the menu (which I guessed at, in Spanish/Italian) nor in photos but I'm glad Paul enjoyed it. I suppose to a degree you're paying for waiter service and hopefully fun singing entertainment! Often on an airplane you get a much more florid menu and more disappointing food in cramped quarters!
Great looking trip. Back in the early 90s I did Harwich to Gothenburg which I recall being 24 hours each way and I remember being amazed that a ship had a casino, a movie theatre, restaurants, a disco and more! Sadly I see it is no longer running
If you really want a ferry with views, weather but ordinary but okay food and accommodation try Navimag from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt or reverse. 4 days 3 nights. 100mph blasts, fog, flat calm, 5m swell on the Pacific and blazing sun. All in the one trip.
Great video mate! I love all the ferries ⛴️ in the Mediterranean they’re so cool! Especially for me as an American 🇺🇸 I find ferries especially large ones that seem like cruise ships to me and they rock! I hope to do more of them in the future someday considering I’ve been on a massive ferry cruise once from Rome well Civitavecchia to Sorrento all within Italy 🇮🇹 but still super cool! Cheers mate 🥂 SO COOL FOR SURE! ALSO WHAT! The Iberia A321XLR flights are booking up already! Wow 🤯 That was quick but the A321XLR isn’t certified yet!? 🤨 -Caleb 😊
Great video of an unusual route & ferry. My experience of the catering wasn’t very memorable, but you got a hot lunch, which seemed acceptable. I could only find cold sandwiches!
Those arcade machines were what is known as 'Pandora's Box' which have thousands of preloaded retro games. All of the KOF were different versions of King of Fighters. Apologies for the nerd interlude!
10 years ago we were booked to go from Holyhead to Dublin with Irish Sea ferries, but come the day of their ships were not sailing. They rebooked us on the Stena ferry, and it was definitely 1990s mall vibes on board. Rough going so we pretty much just parked ourselves in one spot with a nice view and tried to not lose our breakfast… since eating lunch was out of the question.
Hi Paul! Your videos are amazing, when I saw this one pop up I was excited to see it. For €319 in a "premium" cabin ot seems a pretty good value for 24hrs voyage. I was so impressed with the stuff on board.awesome video as always.
It's a mystery to me why operators like ferries consistently get bad reviews for a certain aspect, and do nothing about it for months, years or never. If they don't improve, it's usually a sign they've got some form of monopoly on that route.
@@largol33t1 Yes, some of them. Air Canada gets accused of being semi-crap because it's got an almost stranglehold on the Canadian domestic/to America market. In Asia, the airlines tend to be really good due to the intense competition.
Their main business is carrying trucks and supplies across the sea. Truck drivers are not wealthy costumers, so they really do not need to offer luxury. All in all paying 70 Euros ferry fare is not that cheap either, considering flying is just 2 hours.
All cruise terminal should have a terminal building equipped with conveying pavement, cafe, toilets etc for passengers to sit down and rest while waiting to get on board the ship. It's inconsiderate if not brutal to have to walk that far with the luggage or especially for seniors and people with toddlers or disabilities.
I wonder if that's why they aren't as popular as trains. I'd rather take a train than a ferry if I have to walk that far in the brutal heat if the departure city is hot. Note: just because the city is by the beach doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be cool.
You need to try Finnlines (Gramaldi own them) between Finland and Sweden... The Finncanopus and Finnsirius make this ferry look very behind the times. Plus, the journey through the Archipelago is an experience not to be missed 👍🏽
You should try the Color line ferries from Kiel to Oslo, Color Magic and Color Fantasy. They are pretty big. The suites are certainly bigger than on this ferry.
I tried a few years ago the sister ferries Europa Palace and Olympia Palace by Minoian Lines between Greece and Italy. Similar pleasant experience. 👍🏻🚢. Thanks for the footage.
Only one sea fairing quip ??? 🤔😵 I'm disappointed, there was plenty more to be caught !! The food didn't look quite cruise ship standard, but that was to be expected.... at least you didn't clam up about it 😂 There seemed to be enough to do on board for 24 hours. Shame the night club was not open, you have danced a sea shanty 😂 And you kept us waiting to the bitter end for your rundown of costs..... 😮 Pricey, but worth it, Paul 👍
Boarding via the stern ramp and an escalator to the main decks is fairly standard on many Mediterranean/Aegean routes - saves the need for a passenger gangway.
Hi Paul, I’ve seen the Italian ship that has sleeper train cars driven onto it - living in Manchester UK and having family in Ireland, I’ve sailed on the Irish Ferries and Stena Adventurer from Holyhead to Dublin for many years and my favourite vessel is the Irish Ferries Ulysses, especially in the Club Class Lounge but also the cabins which are really nice 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️
Looked like a really fun experience, I had a similar experience with Brittany Ferries between Portsmouth & Bilbao which was also fun to experience as a one-off. Getting a cabin, even a basic one on such a crossing is a very good investment, though I wouldn't unlikely go for any premium rooms. - Tyler
I follow far too many Travel UA-camrs, so I don't know if you've covered it - but you really should check-out the Japanese Vending Machine ferries someday. Looks like a fascinating adventure (as most of your videos are)!
Two observations, first they had laminate flooring in the corridor outside the cabins, that would make the noise echo. Secondly as someone who has regularly traveled the 12 to 14 hour overnight journey from Aberdeen to Lerwick in Shetland, there is complimentary tea and coffee inside the cabins unlike what you had. The first class offering on Northlink Ferries actually look better than this ferry in the video, never thought I’d say that..actually I think Northlink Ferries look better than this and their food is superb and decent price.
The Smyril Line ferry from Hirtshals, DK to Seyoisfjördur, Iceland via Faroe Islands takes about 3 days to complete the journey. I would count that as a bit longer as far as regular ferry lines go. 😊
Even after booking the most expensive cabin, €319 is a steal. There are hotels whose nightly room rates are more than that and don't have as many amenities as that ship.
In both Rome and Barcelona, it was minimum 300 eur for somewhere you'd actually want to stay. The ferry at that price (esp minus senior discount) made so much sense. Grim food on the whole and my hydro tub had bathtub ring so not sparkling clean. Better than the GRIMaldi ship Salerno to Palermo tho
Very interesting choice particularly with the intermediate call. Invaluable for truckers you may have seen. A nice variation on your more usual posting and no need to record leg room and what the Americans prudishly call the bathroom…..but you did. You tube postings Of extended ferry within Japan are almost anaemic by comparison.
Grimaldi also has a subsidiary in Greece called Minoan Lines. Nice boats, comfortable accommodations but the food is so so compared to ANEK lines. As for Iberia Airlines, won’t fly them anytime soon. Went with them to Spain about a year ago and it was the worst airline to fly on, original aircraft was grounded, had to wait an extra hour for a replacement bird and even then they had zero on board for beverages including water for a three hour flight. To boot they only accepted credit cards contrary to what the snack menu mentions. And when it came to paying for one item my card would not pass through their terminal, a USA issued card but it took my wife’s USA issued card. WTF??? I think RyanAir is a bit above Iberia but not by much.

I wonder what is the most deluxe ferry in Europe is?
Can you try taking Silja Line between Stockholm and Helsinki maybe next time? It’s a really nice ferry
Here’s your pun? The room looked ferry nice.
For a ship that entered service in 2008, the decor does look rather 1970s; the wood panelling and the push-button phone with handset, very retro
I love that look. They hired architects who KNOW what they're doing. The appearance is clearly retro but not overwhelming.

In southern europe, this style is still very popular, especially in tourism.
You should try Havila ferries in Norway, brand new ships with classic Scandinavian interior design. And stunning Norwegian scenery included with your ticket.
Oh, i thought the scenery costs extra. LOL
@@avgjoeavglife They charge extra if you make valueless responses on UA-cam.
I like the European way of life. In Australia we would not think twice about driving 14hrs in one day to get somewhere
Paying European gas prices, that would be an expensive drive
The ferry from Bilbao (Spain) to Rosslare (Ireland) takes 30 hours! Very comfortable ship.

Are the actual ships longer than 250m from stern to bow though?
@@martinbainessuffolk He's talking about the actual length of the actual ship. Confused me at first too.
@@martinbainessuffolk yes Martin. My Bilbao Rosslare trip was also B/Ferries.
I did the Rosslare to Santander trip on Brittany Ferries last November. It was a 33 hour trip. I enjoyed it a lot and would do it again. 😊
I've done that route many times -- the last time was the opposite direction on that same ferry, though, walking down that entire zig-zag at midnight! I was in the owner's suite also -- fantastic monetary deal and so spacious! It was great fun :-)
Offtopic, but couldn'thelp but notice: You didn't have the cheesecake, but the Torta della Nonna.
Now I would go for this ferry ride! Looks really enjoyable!
i really enjoy your train and ferry videos, thanks!
What a great day. Sitting down to watch Winging it with a nice cup of Earl Gray and sweet biscuits. Afterwards is Dr Who.
The 70's called, they want their ship back. ;)
Fantastic video Paul!!
Paul mentions the phone can only call reception, and then he can't get the tv to work. Guess what, my friend, I have a cunning plan!
In fairness, he might not have been that worried that he couldn't watch Italian or Spanish TV.
The memories! I took this trip - the other way, but still - back in 2021 when I was on a month long Euro road trip in my Lincoln Town Car. I stayed in the same kind of cabin, and enjoyed the trip very much. Very cool to see Paul doing this trip!
The first vessel I worked on, brings back so many memories
What a cool looking trip and I think I need to try this ASAP!! Thanks for the look see!!
I was so excited to see the updates on Twitter and curious about just how much fun it was
awesome video as always incredible choice of backing music as well
I went with this ferry company a few times from Ancona to Patras, and once we had a room in front of the ship! It was like we were the captain, very cool!
I think we were upgraded, because the room was HUGE. Like 3 times the size you have. It was in the corner, and looking at the map, it seemed the largest they have.
This is amazing! I wish the old west could combine the old and new so well. Never forget your history
That was a fun trip!
Aha. Just back Sicily. Italian hotels don’t do tea coffee kettle. A little help for you !!!! I didn’t know until one month ago
appreciate for posting the prices at the end. very useful as a benchmark going on this or any other similar ferries around europe.
Great trip. Just realized this route exists, since as far as I know, only domestic ferry serve both cities, like Rome to Sardinia and Barcelona to Balearic Island.
As always a really interesting vid 👍👍
Another great idea for a trip !
The "fancy" dinner (of course just €30) didn't impress me much in the menu (which I guessed at, in Spanish/Italian) nor in photos but I'm glad Paul enjoyed it.

Great value in your ticket price. So glad you reviewed the cruise/ferry. Interesting.

Yes, more ferries please, great video again.
Looks like a fun trip.
Certainly looks reasonable when you break it down great video paul

Nice! More ferries please 😎
That was pretty good, despite the burger and diced potatoes lunch. And unlike yesterday’s video - no fake books ;)
Those arcade machines were what is known as 'Pandora's Box' which have thousands of preloaded retro games. All of the KOF were different versions of King of Fighters. Apologies for the nerd interlude!
A hot tub to oneself whilst cruising the med is definitely worth €160! Impressed! Keep it up Mr L 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Your punnery is on top form, sir. Please continue and persist!
Looking good!

I must have embarked shortly after you got off. Maybe I should have got an upgrade or two!
You should try the Color line ferries from Kiel to Oslo, Color Magic and Color Fantasy. They are pretty big. The suites are certainly bigger than on this ferry.
Ship that size, hope they have a good lifeboat drill!
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Cool video.💚👌👍
I tried a few years ago the sister ferries Europa Palace and Olympia Palace by Minoian Lines between Greece and Italy. Similar pleasant experience. 👍🏻🚢. Thanks for the footage.
The escalators are a bit of a novelty. That's something you don't see on cruise ships very often.
That was a pretty good pronunciation of Civitaveccia!!
Only one sea fairing quip ??? 🤔😵
I'm disappointed, there was plenty more to be caught !!

Judging from the wake pattern the ship will be doing about 20 knots. That’s almost 25 mph across the deck in no wind.
It actually goes around 26kt according to my gps
Looked like a really fun experience, I had a similar experience with Brittany Ferries between Portsmouth & Bilbao which was also fun to experience as a one-off. Getting a cabin, even a basic one on such a crossing is a very good investment, though I wouldn't unlikely go for any premium rooms.

hi paul i've been on a ferry before good video btw
Amazing comment
Technically the longest ferry is Southampton to New York - often called the North Atlantic Ferry.
Another good ferry service is. Kiel - Oslo on Colorline. Recommended!
you should try a ship in Greece (Minoan Lines especially)
I'd love to see you do a review of the cruise ferries they have in Japan.
I follow far too many Travel UA-camrs, so I don't know if you've covered it - but you really should check-out the Japanese Vending Machine ferries someday.
Looks like a fascinating adventure (as most of your videos are)!
Was there a shop onboard? Have you tried Japanese ferries?

For some reason, I read your hashtag as "Paul Stripper Ports".
I like Pauls Trip Reports better LOL
Please try Color Fantasy or Color Magic on the Oslo - Kiel line. You will be amazed.
“I was trying to watch Driving Miss Daisy…”
Ohhhhhh, longest in length! Definitely not the longest in time though :)
Thanks for going on the water so I don’t have to! Seasick on a dock lol
30 euros for a massage?! That's what...? About the same in dollars? That's incredible! I pay $200!!
Wow!
I am Irene nee Anderson! Maiden name!
You say dated, I would say Italian design
Everything at dinner looked very orange 🍊
ferry + cruise = fruise
The color line ferries (Color Magic and Color Fantasy) are bigger and better
The world's longest Cruise Ferry is between Bellingham in Washington state and Skagway, Alaska which takes a min. of 2.5 days
That’s not a cruise ferry.
When you film the bathroom area could you shut the toilet seat ?
What an amazing once in a life time experience.
Wonder if the lack of tea and coffee is a boat health and safety thing
I doubt it, you can get tea & coffee on the Isle of Wight ferry
next time your in japan try their ferries hokkaido to nagoya and also kagoshima to okinawa or toyko to the tokyo islands.
I’m hoping to do the ferry to Busan next time I head there!
Hearty food 30 euro, looked fine for money.
Aha. Just back Sicily. Italian hotels don’t do tea coffee kettle. A little help for you !!!! I didn’t know until one month ago.
That hot tub looked a bit murky
Kof = king of fighters. It’s a game
€30 for dinner, decent price.
Eh... do you mean the longest journey or the longest boat, because the ferry from Hirtshals, via Torshavn, to Iceland takes 3 days in the off season.
Grimaldi also has a subsidiary in Greece called Minoan Lines. Nice boats, comfortable accommodations but the food is so so compared to ANEK lines.
As for Iberia Airlines, won’t fly them anytime soon. Went with them to Spain about a year ago and it was the worst airline to fly on, original aircraft was grounded, had to wait an extra hour for a replacement bird and even then they had zero on board for beverages including water for a three hour flight.

Hi, quick question, how long do you get the hot tub and gym for?
As long as you like, it’s a daily pass.
@@Paul_Lucas another question, if you change anything from your trip, what would it be?
looks like an Amtrak room...
Is Brittany Ferries Portsmouth to Bilbao not longer?
Yes, but the ship isn’t, as I took pains to point out ;-)
HJoly molly, at 2:07 isn't that thing going in fast?
Good video, interesting ,value for money, did not like colour scheme cabin parts of the ship,
