TT-Line Advertising Film 1989/90 (Jumbo Ferries MS Peter Pan & MS Nils Holgersson)

The legendary German TT-Line advertising film "A Dream Comes True" from 1989/90. (English subtitles) In this promotional film, the two TT-Line flagships of the time, the Peter Pan and Nils Holgersson, are presented on the Travemünde - Trelleborg route between Germany and Sweden.
The Peter Pan was put into service on 2 June 1986, the Swedish sister ship Nils Holgersson was put into service on the Trelleborg - Travemünde route on 26 February 1987. When they entered service, the Peter Pan and Nils Holgersson were among the largest ferries in the world at that time.
Never again have there been larger and more luxurious passenger ferries on the Travemünde - Trelleborg route.
The Nils Holgersson made her last voyage between Sweden and Germany on 21 December 1992 and the German sister ship Peter Pan made her last voyage between Trelleborg and Travemünde on 31 August 1993.

Both the shown "Peter Pan" and "Nils Holgersson" still exist today, because they sail on the Amsterdam (Ihmuiden) - Newcastle route under the Danish DFDS company flag. "Nils Holgersson" is now named "King Seaways" and "Peter Pan" is named "Princess Seaways".

Awesome stuff! I wonder if there's more of these, not short clips or ads, but this kind of minimovies :)
Sowy why did they remove those vessels from this route? Were they too expensive for this line?
"Dad" looks kinda like general von Esling from C&C: Red Alert btw ;)

[@worldofferryshipping5840]

there were several factors as to why the ships were sold. Firstly, they had received such a good purchase offer for the Peter Pan that they were able to sell the ship on at a profit; the purchase price was higher than the ship's construction price. In addition, the market changed at the beginning of the 1990s, the fall of the Iron Curtain and a recession in Sweden in 1992 meant that the ships no longer had the passenger numbers they had in 1991. The ships could certainly have been kept on the line for longer with cost-cutting measures, at least until the end of duty-free purchase on board in June 1999, but unfortunately the time of these beautiful ships on the line was over too quickly.

@@worldofferryshipping5840 Thank You so much! That's an awesome explanation :) And wow, i guess Peter Pan was either a real star of ferries at that time, since they wanted to grab him so much, or there wasn't many similar vessels around that could fill buyers expectations :) Did You have a chance to travel on any of these ships btw?
