Thank you very much and have a wonderful hike! Best wishes for perfect days ahead!

They have off course been tested (by professionals) in extreme conditions, but, yes as you say.... in reality things may not be as simple in an uncontrolled environment. That is why it is VERY important to attend full scale drills such as this one, and for the participants to have an inquisitive mind during the drill/test.

Was that 12 years ago already? WOW! Time flies! Yes, that is where she returned more than a decade ago - what an amazing day that was!

Mmm, I'm not sure about 12 years. Probably less. The best reference material is no longer available ... your very own CV forum. 😁😎😍

@@Hertog_von_Berkshire Yes, it was a great place for its time. Miss it sometimes, miss that it was such a friendly place.

The article "Serenissima - Harald Jarl reborn" (by a certain someone) reminds me just how magnificent the Gusavian decor was. Must be some of the best cabins that ever sailed.

@@Hertog_von_Berkshire Perhaps a bit eclectic by some standards, but loved by many.

Indeed, she is a beauty at least in my book. The broken diagonal you pointed out actually reminds me a little of the former Royal Princess in her original lay out.

Absolutely. I agree on that one. Imagine the SS Norway next to this one, she would have been tiny.

@@CaptainsVoyage i would like it when they build a NORWAY 2 ,like QM2. A cruisevessel with the looks of a oceanliner

@@thijsvink4657 Sadly, I think that would never happen, but if it did happen, that would be a absolutely be awesome. Even a modern cruise ship with tons of details from the Norway, like a tribute, would be really nice to see. I have seen some suggestions by people making renderings, and some of them are really cool.

Thank you very much! The best time of the year!

@@CaptainsVoyage super!

Thanks 🤗

Many many thanks

So sorry about that. Should be able to mute it if it's too much of a problem.

Almost 30 years as a museum, perhaps even more. A lot of people must have been through this sub since then.

It's not for everybody I guess.

Var ike spenende hver gang. Spesielt første gangen med Royal Viking Sun som en svært ung førstereisgutt.

A Norwegian roro-passenger ferry. 😊

It would be awesome to see Harald Jarl back, but I'd prefer her in original NFDS colours and with Trondheim written across her stern. At the moment, I do not know the state of the ship or what the plans for the ship is.... but to be bluntly honest, I'm really sceptic to the question whether we'll see her again return to service. She is an old ship, and she needs to be IN CONSTANT USE to prevent decay. I'd like to be proven wrong though, and instead I would prefer seeing her back in service - any kind of service at this point.

@@CaptainsVoyage , I'm pretty certain she was in TFDS colours by the time I sailed in her but yes, NFDS colours would probably be a more logical choice. We had concerns about her condition before - when Andrea was "imprisoned" in Split - and she survived. Hopefully she will also survive this rest period too. If not, then we must simply be grateful for the extra years she was given as Serenissima.

@@Hertog_von_Berkshire We can't do anything else than hope and pray for this one. Structurally, she would be fine because of the massive renovation done to make her Serenissima, but then there are all those tiny bits an pieces that brakes by not being regularly used.... I hope and I pray to see her again in use.

Thank you very much, very kind of you. SAS Business has always been a solid, good product on my flights. We all might have different opinions and experiences, but all I can say, is that for myself, it has been great.

San Francisco is a super-nice city, love it there. Never noticed the bricks before you pointed it out.... :-)

Thanks 👍 I was worried about the weather but it all turned out perfect. Could not have been any better.

Det ble en lang spasertur ja.. men det må til når man skal se mest mulig på kort tid. :-)

Didn't leave the flight hungry to put it that way. The sunlight racing across the cabin is really beautiful, haven't been able to capture it in the past. I was prepared this time.

Thank you! 😊

Pretty much sums up my California-winter experience in San Francisco that day. But, I have to admit that between the showers, it was actually really nice.

Rain is actually very pleasant for people who are not getting enough. A couple of years ago, I uploaded a photo to facebook of on of my bicycles standing in my back garden after a recent rain storm. I expected some criticism but instead a chap in Texas commented "lovely beautiful rain, we haven't had any for months".

Very wow.

Many thanks! Happy you enjoyed it. An amazing place for sure.

Summer is for me the clearly preferred season.

From 1989 until she grounded in October 2022.

I'm actually glad I spent a couple of days and nights there, so I that I had the chance to see the place more than I could when visiting with cruise ships on day-visits. I could imagine much of the history by walking around and observing....

Tusen takk for hyggelig kommentar, setter stor pris på det. Joda, fergen var en flott plass å jobbe, og den hadde nok hatt mange år igjen hadde det ikke vært for det som skjedde. Men, slik er no en gang livet... blir veldig spennende og se om man blir like sentimental når for eksempel Munken og Lagatun begynner å bli 30+ år gammel.

It's hard to not like Trondheim, but it's a small city after all. If I had time out of travelling and work, the footage would have included snow too - lots of it. But. the past 2-3 months have been super hectic. The Opera observation wheel was amazing..... so high above the buildings, and you could see it from very far away too. Thank you for looking, and a Happy New Year to you!

Such an amazing destination.... my Greek holiday videos premiers from today and onwards, hope you will enjoy them, because it's a lovely destination.

Yes, that is a great looking building. It used to house a hotel many years ago, and then it was refurbished as offices for an oil company.... now, they have moved out too, and I believe it's still offices. I remember it from my childhood, with a giant neon-light advertisement sign on the roof.

Captain, I didn't realise you were in Trondheim in your childhood. Have you lived there continuously?

@@Hertog_von_Berkshire I have lived so many places, both in Trondheim and abroad. Long story.

I was surprisingly fine letting her go, I guess I do not have the same attachment to ferries as I have cruise ships.

Tusen takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding. Del gjerne videoen videre med andre som kan være interessert.

Thanks, appreciated.

@@CaptainsVoyage I can suggest you grow your TH-cam channel?

Thank you for your request. As long as you credit the channel, yes, you may have my permission.

Yes, indeed-o... both Pollux and Polaris had their maiden voyages in August (2023).

She just spent some extra days in Trondheim, and at Fosen Yard to change one of her electric motors I believe, after it "malfunctioned".

😂😂😂

hahahahaha... much appreciated, thanks so much!

Thank you! I’m looking into your channel too, nice work.

While southern Norway has received its first snow, we have yet to get a taste of winter. No hurry for me, I hate the winter, and it's not a secret.

I really need to visit the Tirpitz museum some day.

Thank you so much, Sir!
