My Father in law was the electrical officer on her when she was the Fantasia. I was the Resident DJ on her in the early 1990s. I know every inch of her. I loved that ship. I did an open air Disco show on her deck once. Just at the top of the stairs from the deck to the dome. Great times!
I travelled on this in 1990, as the Stena Fantasia! I was 11yrs, and had a tour of the engine room with my Dad and the Chief Engineer. I remember him saying it was in Bulgaria before, which links up with the comments below. It was new to that route. We had driven back from Menorca, and had taken another ferry the day before from Mahon-Barcelona, on the Trasmediterranea ;-)
Thanks for a very nice presentation of everything that is happening around the ship and the travelreport that goes with it. I found you just about 3 days ago! See you soon!
Absolutely brilliant channel buddy. Love my ferry trips as well. Can you put in more trucks loading / unloading from the ship's please. We in the haulage game love to see who's shipping out. Keep up the brilliant work. Safe sailing. Alan UK.
I remember a ferry I served on used to turn right around in Belfast on the narrow river Lagan using twin screws only, NO bow thrusters, or any assistance at all. This was in 1957.
Such an old classic lady, very nice to hear her story. Strong feeling of 80's ferry there- not as glamouros as the real cruise ferries of the 80's but at her time most likely very purposeful. I wonder how she handle the baltic in rougher conditions.. I am curious to try her out but with nova star on the route its hard to justify picking wavel. How do you recon the comfort is, with the cabin standards etc? Have you tried nova star? love to see the old ships still out there, a favorite of mine is from the same year, so I have a soft spot for the old ferries with the bulky design for sure. Also reminds me of many happy days, I could almost smell the air when you walked on deck and heard the engine sounds.. Mmm love it. Same with the old wire ramps, memories from a great time working on an older cargo ship.. Now its all so modern ;) Looks like where wavel calls is much more attractive than the Gdynia port, where ive been many times. Looked like a lovely day, thanks for sharing another great journey!
I remember being a bit disappointed really, because Wawel was equally as modern and comfortable as Nova Star if not even more so. Wawel doesnt feel as «cheap» as Nova star. The decoration on Wawel feels more luxurious but a bit older in a way. For example the luxurious looking staircases and the front of the shop are beautiful in the Wawel ferry, but the information signs have turned a bit yellow. However, a beautiful ferry that feels more home to me than the other
weather in sweden is so awesome like i still remember those dead islands where was those birds and god those houses in sweden islands omg so much memories
Remember this old girl well. Crossed the English Channel on her regularly as a Freight Driver in various guises, Sealink Fantasia, Sealink British Ferries Fantasia and P&O Pride of Canterbury
A British plug socket! Well spotted - very eagle eyed! Another video of yours I have enjoyed watching. Particularly interesting to see the shipyard which produced that great hero of Solidarity and produced Poland’s first true democratically elected President, Lech Wałęsa.
Your videos are brilliant however the Scots won't like you spelling Scottish Viking with only one t . Do you have to do emergency life boat station drill as you do on cruise ships when leaving port ? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, don't mean to be pedantic only that correct spelling looks more professional on your excellent videos. I love all the information about the ferries, lines and anything else that strikes your fancy; well done.
Americans could never understand the long-haul ferry business - which is so important in Europe. Then again, the US does not understand passenger rail travel...
The lack of people is because the uploader prefers not to invade their privacy, and the wind noise makes it a better experience. I wish more 'tubers took note of this channels ethics!
Waste of time watching. Mainly looking at the ocean. Do they serve foods on the boat. Apart from the doors to the cabins. Nothing shown. Could of been in any part of the world.
Maybe you never sailed on ferry, so you don’t share the excitement. I loved every minute of every video and appreciated all infos provided. And watching ocean and its changes never cease to fascinate me. I sailed on Alaska ferries many times so this change of scenery is precious to me. Oh, and once to Newfoundland from Nova Scotia.

My father worked on this ship, when the ship was bulgarian, under the name Ro-Ro Tzarevetz. Great ship with long history.

How I wish I could visit these places....
I remember a ferry I served on used to turn right around in Belfast on the narrow river Lagan using twin screws only, NO bow thrusters, or any assistance at all. This was in 1957.
Another great adventure....thanks.

Love that historic ship near end.
Thanks for sharing.....
stay connected......
Amazing series
I just discovered ferries. They’re like a little mini cruise.
Very good view
Would have to like have more of a tour of the ferry and also cabin.
Thank you so much!♡♡♡
Nice 👍
My old ship the 'stena Fantasia' from Dover.
What Crew was you ?

nice video
Thank you very much for this impressions. So i can see how was it to travel with this sbip.
Thanks for watching.
Oh, i love this video. Thank you for making. One question, is there a place to play for children?
I don't think there was, however I did not look for it. There was a disco on the top deck probably suitable for teens.
I drove for some weeks with the Wawel, yes - there is a small kids playing area. Between Info and Kantor. The ship is really nice.
A fan of your videos, here! I do prefer just natural, diegetic sounds as opposed to music.
Cool im Polish..nice seeing this video im glad i subed u with bell😀
nice
Isn’t this ship the sister ship to the wreck Zenobia?

Thanks for watching and commenting. Unfortunately there are 1 or 2 mistakes in most of my videos. On ferries you do not need to do an emergency drill.
Thank you, don't mean to be pedantic only that correct spelling looks more professional on your excellent videos. I love all the information about the ferries, lines and anything else that strikes your fancy; well done.
_ nice .. 👍🤩👍
Come from Dover - what was Wawel’s name when she ran o Calais? A SeaFrance vessel I assume?
Fantasia.

Michael Bruchas ++ this comment just makes you sound really stupid. Not saying you are but if I'm thinking it, others will be
Great vid, how long did it take you to get from Nynshamn to Gdansk? I get various informations about length of the duration. If you remember ofc.
My trip took 18 hours and 4mins, it could probably take longer in the winter.
Thanks a lot.
Were there any casualties on Zenobia?
You need less wind noise on these videos - gets painful at times! Also more interior shots with people.
The lack of people is because the uploader prefers not to invade their privacy, and the wind noise makes it a better experience. I wish more 'tubers took note of this channels ethics!
What is that huge White dome on the top deck?
It’s a nightclub
how to go like a pasanger without car on that ferry
You needed some better cutaways in this video. Privacy concerns on people in shots?
How long does the trip last?
Thanks for watching and commenting, that trip took about 18hours I think
liked the video, stopped watching because of the unnecessary music.
stan crouch just turn it down!
Hey can i contact with you somewhere?
Hi EstSailor, I am not on Facebook or Twitter at the moment but maybe I will be in the future.
0:42 THAT SHIP IS BEUTIFUL OMG!!!!!!
There are 2 T's in Scottish.
