Fantastic trip... and I love that you include a complete route in the video. Thanks!
You're welcome 🙂
Another fantastic video!
Excellent presentation.
I enjoyed your report! Looks a really nice relaxing journey. The ferry looked really modern, clean and comfortable. I need to return to Spain for a holiday at some point in the future!
Yes it was very good, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Appreciate the natural sound instead of music.
Thank you Bill 🙏🏻
Excellent video. Thank you, you've inspired me to make this trip soon.
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Great video !!
Thanks for sharing 🥰
Very nice review! Chill and intresting ;-) Greetings from Belgium
Thank you so much 😁
Well that was certainly a different trip report 😉. I hope you enjoyed your day at sea Max. As you said, sometimes it’s just nice to take a step back from rushing 👍🏻
I'm not sure I'll be rushing back to take the ferry next time though 😂
Top Markotop Guys.
Very nice video, thank you!
Thanks! 👍🏻
Very enjoyable trip report, as I love ferry travel too I hope you might make a few more journeys like this one. The trips to Aoelian Islands and Naples from Sicily would be nice to see as I want to do them one day.
Thank you Norman! Unfortunately any video that isn't a train does terrible on my channel 😭
Great to see a ferry review! Love travelling by ferry. My favours one is Stenline from Harwich to Hoek van Holland. If you get the chance, try a Irish Sea ferry, the seas are rough but it’s so much fun!
I've done Holyhead-Dublin many times with work 🙂
Congrats for the video. Last week I travelled by Balearia from Denia to Ibiza shipped in the Eleanor Roosevelt Fast Ferry, and back via Formentera with Nixe ferry and Ramon Llull fast ferry from Formentera to Denia. Absolutely recommend it
Excellent 👌🏻
Yeah, those fast ferries look impressive! I've been on a similar one, the "Highspeed 4" operated by Hellenic Seaways :)
That crossing looked very beautiful! Great video as always
Highspeed 4 eh... Is that GWRs 300kmh line? 😉
@@NonstopEurotrip d'you really want to send an IET at 300km/h? That will not end well😂
@@trainlagged it's being upgraded mate, opening in the year 2105
Good one.
We took the overnight ferry last August with friends in their car, and had a cabin. The cabin (and entire ship) was spotless, and the beds were really comfortable.You can also bring your pets with you, and they provide overnight space for them as well.
I was very impressed with the cleanliness too ☺️
How many people can be accommodated in a single cabin?
Enjoyed watching the trip report and I have also noticed that travelling by ship always gives you a different vibe and a calm feeling which is fascinating and I would surely like to travel on ships occasionally. And a great video as always.☺
Thank you Rahill and yes I agree 😁
My very first crossing, was from Denia to San Antonio, aboard the 'Bahia de Malaga', (Flebasa Lines). The last time I saw the ship, was in a mess in Palma harbour! Great days...Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I've not crossed to/from Denia before
Super
Great video! This ferry looks very nice. I've never been on ferry like this, my biggest ferry experience was Star ferry in Hong Kong :-D I envy you your trip to Valencia, which is my favorite city in Spain!
Thanks mate! I'm jealous of you going to Hong Kong 😁 Valencia is lovely isn't it! 🙂
I love ferries about as much as I love trains which is a lot so I enjoyed this video very much. The ferries I've been on here in the US were a lot shorter trips than this,(Oakland to San Francisco, Newport to Balboa Island, and New Orleans to Algiers Point) but I would love to go on something like this
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Whoop whoop finaly a ferry.
Cool right 😎😎😎
Thank you for such a great video. This is the first one I have seen of yours... and of course "liked and subscribed" to it. My husband and I are immigrating to Portugal next year, and this seems a like a great way to travel. We both also love train travel (something you really can't do on the the West Coast of the USA), and look forward to seeing more of your videos!!
You're very welcome! Please check out my many European train videos. There's loads coming up on Portugal (first one this Friday) as I'm just back from there! Such a lovely country 🥰 hopefully you'll get a chance to travel Europe by train 🙏🏻🚈
@@NonstopEurotrip That is definitely going to happen... thank you for the reply... sorry.. I meant to say immigrating in August!! :) Can't wait!!! :)
@@reesecraighead6116 Oh wow, so not long then! Maybe I'll see you out and about on Europe's 'Railroads' LOL
@@NonstopEurotrip I hope so!! :) My family comes from a long line of railroad people... my grandfather was a mechanical engineer for Santa Fe.. His father worked for Santa Fe as well.
@@reesecraighead6116 Amazing! You'll definitely love it in Europe then. Portugal has some very interesting trains and beautiful lines. Same for me, my uncle was a Highspeed Train driver in the UK for 30+ years :-)
The Mediterranean Sea! A beautiful way to get your place for holidays in Spain.
Oh absolutely 😍
We took Balearia from spain too morocco and back and i kinda enjoyed the boat ride so i miss balearia
Great ferry ride shame that some features were not available at the time you travelled but the meal was nice especially the view over the med was so good
Glad you liked it Dan 😊
I’m planning on bringing my car back from Italy (where it’s been stuck since December) over the summer via Cittivechia-Barcelona ferry then Santander-Portsmouth ferry. Hopefully the Med crossing portion will be similar to your crossing. I did think about seeing if there were still such things as trains that take cars, like old fashioned motor-rail…is that still a thing?
Wow that sounds like an adventure! There haven't been any motorrail trains in France since 2019 and no domestic Italian ones since well before that. In theory there is a Verona-Dusseldorf service which runs once a week but that hasn't run since the pandemic started. Unsure if/when it will start again. Tbh your best bet is probably the route you mentioned or just drive it back! Good luck! 👍🏻
Hello, do you know if the trucks are lashed with chains on the deck ?
Obviously
I took the same ferry than you in 2013, hut i had the bad luck of the air conditioning breaking. But it was a nice travel
Oh no! At least you could just go outside for the breeze 😁
Good plan to include the odd ferry trip - might I suggest a mention of where you stayed and at what rate/location to station etc (or even include 10 secs or so about the hotel). Those seats were far too close together - must've been designed by an airline!
I do try to include information on how to get to the departure point, where possible as I did today. Yeah I didn't understand with all that space why the seats were so close together 🤣
@@NonstopEurotrip i've traveled many years ago in those ferrys and this rooms where cinema teatres in the old days... so maybe they discovered that with this configuration they just can fit moore seats even there's no cinema now, so they just keep it like this and copy it in the new ones LOL
@@lordmordred33 probably yes LOL. I saw you made some more comments but I can't find them anywhere?
Remember watching the ferries leaving Palma when we were there. Gotta love a ferry crossing. Are there any other ferry companies operating from Palma? Spent a week in Valencia once. Nice city..
I know Transmediterania operate the route too. Valencia is 😍😍😍
@@NonstopEurotrip Took the (old style) Euromed to Alicante for a day trip. Went to the City of Arts & Sciences and the Aquarium one day too. That's a few hours of my life I'll never get back.. 😴
Market is glorious & lunching by the beach is a must..
Very pleasant way to travel rather than flying
I've had an overnight ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki. The vessel was similar to yours
We had private cabins. There were comfortable seats at lower cost
Thanks Max for bringing back memorizes😀♥️♥️
I'd like to try that route! Very interesting 😃
@@NonstopEurotrip I am positive you would enjoy traveling like that
The Scandinavians and the Finns are wonderful!! And the scenery is beautiful
Thank you Max😀😀♥️♥️
@@scottyerkes1867 For sure! I was planning on doing it next week, but came up with a better plan instead 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip what plan have
you come up with?
@@scottyerkes1867 I'm off to Finland next week 🤫
Wow!! This has been on my list to make this journey for so long! To have a trip report really helps me a lot in planning this journey.
A sea voyage is always so relaxing and lovely, second only to train travel hahah.
Well done and thanks for your videos and hard work!
You're very welcome 🙏🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip 👌
I hope for a Ferry at Venice 🤪🤞 or Lake Como
Next time I'm in Italy eh 😁
for your next ferry trip you should go on Brittaney ferries
Seeing how crap this video did I think I'll give ferries a miss for a while lol 😆
The legroom on the seats may not have been brilliant, but I think that sort of seating is a good idea; I've never seen it on Dover to Dunkerque ferries, or on longer routes such as to Ireland.
I thought€59 was a bit steep; Liverpool to Belfast would be a similar distance, and costs £22 one way on the daytime crossing. For an extra £22, you can have access to the first class lounge, with complementary snacks & drinks, including wine and beer. (I was driving, so I went easy on that part 🙂)
Liverpool or Holyhead to Ireland is only half the distance, if that, compared to this journey
Liverpool to Belfast takes 8 hours without a stop, so I'd say it's similar timewise if not in distance. Holyhead is a long way further west, so ferries on that route are a lot quicker, as I experienced on the return journey: Dublin to Holyhead.
That first class sounds great! **Puts on to-do list** I've only ever done the Holyhead-Dublin ferry 🏴🇮🇪
I think there was complementary wine in the 1st class lounge on the Irish Ferries sailing from Dublin to Holyhead as well. I can't remember for certain as I was driving off the boat, so I had to remain sober.
Railways throughout Ireland (Northern and Republic) are a wide gauge - I think it's 5'4". Would make an interesting trip. There are international trains from Belfast to Dublin. A lot of good scenery as well.
Can you do a trip report from pisa to palermo with ryanair?
Definitely not 😂
What is the average cruising speed?
Idk sorry
Great trip!
One suggestion " Please use yellow subtitles. The white ones are impossible to read on a light background.
Thank you!
I've tried different colours, and these work best for most people, sorry
Were I to replicate your trip, I would opt for a night ferry, were 1 available...
There is. It departs 21:30 and arrives 07:00 👍🏻
it costs 1000 euros to take a 44 ton semi from valencia to palma i have done it about 12 times now
Wow 😳
Use the lift incase a problem on the stairs
Perfect can you ride airliner bus pinkbus bla bla bus and roadjet bus in Germany 🇩🇪 2022 nice video Balearia ferry ⛴️. 👍
Maybe when I'm back in Europe ☺️
Meine Frage warum sind Tickets von almeria nach nador so teuer. Ich finde das persönlich nicht in Ordnung. Um Umsatz zu erzielen sollte mann preis nicht erhöhen 😉
Mallorca means a lot to me: I had forgotten that Big island and her little sister Minorca, but never Ibiza. Mallorca is linked to Quito, Ecuador and a woman with a vicuña throw. Ibiza is profoundly tied to a movie I saw at the 8th Street Cinema east of Sixth Avenue and the Waverly movie house. A movie called "Fake" by 3 famous grifters : a movie director, an author and an artist who fooled "experts" with his forgeries. These men, filmed by the director sat in Blazing white sunlight reflecting off the white adobe houses and many winding steps.
Thanks for sharing 😊
More ferries
Am planning 🤣
I am confused as we are archipelagos country but don't have this type of ships for their people. :(
This is a heavy freight route from the mainland to the islands too 👍🏻
Did I see correctly that the ship's home port is Limassol in Cyprus?
Yes! 👍🏻⚓
in Spain people from the islands get it's plane trips subsidiced by government... a ticket plane from someone fro Tenerife to Madrid could cost less than 15€... that's the reason for those ferries are so empty... they're used mostly by truckers out of tourist season.
You can fly from London to Tenerife with Ryanair for less than €15 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Yes, but this it's probably booking in advance, and in a low cost line... they can do it whenever they want and in the national line... it's a priviledge for live outside the mainland and don't have all the services... for example in La Gomera there's no university, so how you make easy for them to get a college education? Cheap fly for they can go to a university at the mainland or to the biggest islands etc... I guess the UK should have a similar agreement for the people in the Shetlands, Man, Jersey etc... or the italians for it's citicens in Elba, or the danish for the people of the Faroe islands etc...
True, it's the same for the scottish Islands, subsidised flights 👍🏻
The cabin is significantly more expensive than the price of Japanese ferries. Double that price and you can get a first-class suite all for yourself.
6:28 for 57 euros, and not many other passengers, i dont think they would be making any money on that, after fuel, staff wages etc. nevertheless, i hope they survive in these difficult times.
It's predominantly a freight route, which is where they make their money. The ferry was full of lorries. The foot passengers are just a bonus income.
I bet the captains know the route better than the pilots.
Probably yeah 🤣
Breaking News: Spain's PM is gonna remove the obligation of wearing facemasks in the outside on Saturday 26th June
9:33 Yes, they look like a train's First Class seat
19:50 Video's final score: 9.8
Good because it's a stupid rule 😜. Thanks Pedro wow a 9.8 👍🏻😎
@@NonstopEurotrip Are there plans from Boris Johnson or from any ministre to remove the obligation of wearing facemasks in the outside?
I ask you this 'cause the UK is vaccinating very quickly to his inhabitants
@@pedrorubiotejero_aka_prt we've never had to wear facemasks outside
@@NonstopEurotrip It's normal.
Boris Johnson is very conservative, some people, specially an orange-skinned former US president, say that's like he, but in the UK
Would have liked a better tour of first class.
The upgraded seat wasn't available on this ship ⚓
@@NonstopEurotrip Thanks. I look forward to your videos
I like your vids but nobody is going to pay for them.. I don't even have a TV license my man..
I don't have a TV license either 😂 but currently 20 people are paying to watch my vids early 😏🤷🏻♂️ You are contributing by just watching them, and I thank you for that! 🙏🏻
