wow lot of work there and many many hours too.. amazing and well done to all those who helped construct her.. always take pride and this is what you end up with
We are supposed to be one of the best payed specialist engineers. However, it is a very broad field, so it depends what you do and where you do it. Generally speaking, naval architects, marine engineers and offshore engineers have a high enough standard of living.
Robert I Baratheon I have a question... why some modern big ships like this one still have a straight bow? Isn't the bulbous one more efficient and stable?
+BellinghamsterTrail Thank you so much for this compliment! It is the only long-term cruise ship timelapse shot with a high quality setup to this date. It´s a shame the companies still rely on poor quality webcams do document these events. After all, the views show that people like to watch these movies
With all the hightech cranes, CAD 3D design software, pneumatic/electric tools and advances in welding technology..its still a marvel to behold. Now imagine doing this 100+ years ago like they did with Titanic and the like, with those old steam turbine engines?? mind blowing when you think about
Somehow I thought there might be an underlying frame around which the whole ship is built, like a chassis. Didn't expect it to be a huge collection of modules. Very informative!
That is BY FAR the *UGLIEST* cruise ship I’ve ever seen! And I’m not talking about the paint design, I mean the shape. That straight bow is absolutely revolting!
Very cool. Anyone know what type of rear propulsion the ship uses? Those engines looked massive!! V-24's or something?? How big are the fuel tanks? Were they near the engines?
was deutsche Technik. das verdammte Schiff wurde in Japan gebaut mein Junge. Japanische Technik. die Aida Nova wäre dann wieder deutsche Technik, da bei Meyer gebaut.
Entwickelt in Deutschland von Aida Cruises und der Hamburgischen Schiffsbau-Versuchsanstalt aber dann in Japan gebaut weil die Deutschen Werften zu teuer sind. Die Technik stammt auch überwiegend aus Deutschland, z.B. Dieselmotoren von MaK, Elektrik von Siemens und ABB etc.
Wow! this was an amazing video. I've been on 8 cruises, mostly on HAL ships built by the Fincantieri yard in Italy. I've always wondered how you would "lay the keel" for a ship this enormous? So it's all just hundreds of pre-fab sub-assemblies, from the keel all the way to the top of the radar mast. I suspect that building a ship like this would have been near impossible before the age of computer-aided design and manufacturing. Think of all the miles and miles of piping and electrical conduits that all have to match perfectly between sections as they are assembled, and the bulkheads between sections that have to match up! And the logistics of having the sub-assemblies arrive at the construction drydock in just the right order.
nichodo The hardest and most impressive thing are the brains that goes into this, that is, the designers and inventors (of the machinery). The professionals who did meticulous work get rewarded don't worry. Or, did you want to try the communist and socialist experiments that always end in starvation and murder?
They could definetly afford it. In my country (Germany) shipbuilders are among the best-paid industrial workers with an annual salary of at EUR 30,000 upwards. I worked in the administration of a German shipyards for a couple of years and the salary was one of the things I never complained about. I doubt things will look too differently in Japan where this ship was built. Also AIDA Cruises is far away from a Premium-Agency. You may go for Hapag-Lloyd's "Europa II" if you want that.
+HairyViking111 he means they didnt finish painting it lmao they just built the skeleton, they still gotta finish. the pictures at the beginning was the final product.
STAR MAPPER I know I was talking about the final paint job. I hate the looks of the lips and eyes that are painted on to it. I can see how my comment mixed people up.
+HairyViking111 Nah. Not beautiful at all, it's just another floating condo. Too top heavy. And it's paint job will is also more fitting for a motorboat than a ship The beautiful ships are all taken to Alang nowadays. Those were REAL ships.
It's mind-boggling how someone could design something so vast and complicated as this. A fascinating video… but it doesn't look finished to me!? Is this really the end product, with all that scaffolding?
TelxGaming I think that even if a company could build such a printer (we may have the technology for it, but it's soooooooooooo expansive that nobody will ever do it) it would be faster to do it the way they did it. Building part per part allow to build as many parts as you want at the same time ( that's why most processors have multiple cores), whereas a 3d printer is damn slow, and time is money (especially in this business).
I really don't get the conomics of cruise ships - I can understand that ticket sales more than cover operating costs - but a return on the initial build? How many years does that take?
Would you look at that. No more building the hull first and then assembling the decks inside it, now all the pieces come pre-assembled and they just put them together like building blocks.
Since when did they stop launching ships by sliding them down a ramp? The propellers were put on backwards by the way (the wrong way around) I mean, (way wrong around the)..or (the around way wrong) wrong the around..wong,wing..wang..dang. It looks like a dreadnought. Cool bow. But fix the propellers.
Anyone knows the story behind the ships rather unusual stern? I mean its vertical profile, which you don't see that very often on modern ships today. Any beneficial to have such a profile?
The way those sections fit perfectly is so satisfying to watch.
There s lot pre assembly activities.....
What I like is the fact she has a classic straight bow!
I love it when ships have that
about 5 decks too high to be "elegant" in my opinion, but I too like the straight bow.
+Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch Yes she does look a little top heavy!
It goes through rough seas better aswell.
Only if it's not to rough. In some really bad waves the bow will literally dive into.
5:07 Oi! Them tugboats are stealing our ship!
Makin movies
Singin songs
Anddddd
Fightin round the world 💪💪
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Took longer than I thought. Damn 6 minutes
Thank you for sharing! It is fascinating how this enormous ship is made by assembling huge parts together....Lots of work that sure is!
As someone already mentioned, that straight bow is beautiful. As she's a floating gin palace and jams from island to island, no bulbous bow required.
Watching the boat get built with that music playing is so adorable.
wow lot of work there and many many hours too.. amazing and well done to all those who helped construct her.. always take pride and this is what you end up with
The bow looks truly old-fashioned. It's very similar to the Titanic's!
Proud to be a naval architect :D
Robert I Baratheon How much does a naval architect make? I'd love to be one but I'd also like to make a nice living :3
We are supposed to be one of the best payed specialist engineers. However, it is a very broad field, so it depends what you do and where you do it. Generally speaking, naval architects, marine engineers and offshore engineers have a high enough standard of living.
Yeah, you should be proud... Naval engineer
Sergio lol
Robert I Baratheon I have a question... why some modern big ships like this one still have a straight bow? Isn't the bulbous one more efficient and stable?
I will say one thing for this box, that straight bow looks fantastic. Great to see it making a comeback.
Incredibly beautiful construction absolutely love the classical bow engineering. It’s really like LEGO for grownups really.
How those monsters don't just tip over is a testament to man's ingenuity! It was amazing watching all those sub assemblies come together...
those little tug boats tugging the ship were looking damn cute.
Classic straight bow line, love it!
I seen her in Palma aboard the discover 2 by Marcela cruises and she is a beautiful ship
This is the coolest time-lapse ship construction I've ever seen. I am looking forward to sailing on the Prima when it is launched.
+BellinghamsterTrail Thank you so much for this compliment! It is the only long-term cruise ship timelapse shot with a high quality setup to this date.

+Max C. Moos do they work 24/7?
+Tony Stark In fact they don´t. Otherwise i might have included more night shots. But the editing makes construction seem continuous, right?
yeah right.
It is truly amazing how they build ships these days.
The US navy supercarriers are built the same way and they still take seven years.
With all the hightech cranes, CAD 3D design software, pneumatic/electric tools and advances in welding technology..its still a marvel to behold. Now imagine doing this 100+ years ago like they did with Titanic and the like, with those old steam turbine engines?? mind blowing when you think about
5:07 to 5:17 it’s funny how quick the little tug boats are pulling it and the ones at the stern look like they’re being dragged haha 😂
Best model kit ever
So, basically, this is a massive 3D puzzle?
Derek Straker just a massive lego
Derek Straker isn’t everything really a 3D puzzle? Unless it’s a 2d puzzle
Ya
Derek Straker basically yes 😂
They r designed to b built like legos xd which Is fun
humanity, you've come a long way baby.
Chabert Garmin Since making stone tools to leaving our planet and build giant constructs of materials we refined.
Somehow I thought there might be an underlying frame around which the whole ship is built, like a chassis. Didn't expect it to be a huge collection of modules. Very informative!
Yeah it reminds me a lot of Lego
Nice video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
This video is amazing! Thank you for posting it
And so, everyone finds it normal to build this abroad, as in Europe we were unable. bravo, super, let's continue like this.
I'm really amazed of seeing the cruise ship being build then the ship inside
4:50 - How sweet.
They took the little fella out for a 'walk'.
And cleaned up his room whilst he was gone.
☮
A great piece of art......really ship building is wonderful ❤❤
That is BY FAR the *UGLIEST* cruise ship I’ve ever seen! And I’m not talking about the paint design, I mean the shape. That straight bow is absolutely revolting!
It’s like a lego ship set wow - awesome work
The logistics of building these things absolutely blows my mind
Very cool. Anyone know what type of rear propulsion the ship uses? Those engines looked massive!! V-24's or something?? How big are the fuel tanks? Were they near the engines?
Its amazing to see how they build cruise ships!
She's a beauty. Never seen a bridge like that though
Excellent Video. An eye opener. Well done.👍👍👍👍
Bit by bit it’s bolted together! Love the bubbles idea to save fuel
Its all welded together. Bolts would be cumbersome, leaky and not strong enough.
Love and respect to Japan ❤❤🇯🇵🇯🇵from Iran
This is art with art music! Great!
The final paint job was cancer. But the ship is amazing.
Das ist deutsche Technik.

@@Genius_at_Work ABB ist aber auch nicht Deutsch
Very cool, I still think it's amazing that humans can build something so huge.
The goal of the ugly paint job is to scare off potential pirates at the coast of Somalia. They will sink their own boat when they'll see this ship.
Sven Lima ~ 😂😂😂
XD
Nice looking ship 😎

Watching those huge brick pieces come together is soooooo satisfiying
thanks for uploading such an amazing video
Those prefab sections were gigantic.
That ship looks top heavy.
serge00storms ~ Agreed
so was my first wife.
@@lkytdsvc ummmmmm-
I wonder if the workers who builds the cruise ships get to go on cruises on those ships?
No they're sick of them,and are also aware of the rip-off cruises generally are.
Why is it a rip-off? Don't know really much about cruises
nichodo The hardest and most impressive thing are the brains that goes into this, that is, the designers and inventors (of the machinery).

Wernher von Kerman Well, German engineers are one of the best (I would rate them best). Oh, and I also like KSP!
Amazing... I love videos like this.
I bet to God we look like worker ants lol
What a fantastic, satisfying, and mesmerizing video!
It is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard that built the battleship Musashi.
That is a magnificent looking ship!
a ship in under 6 min that is impresive :D
who else here from late night thoughts?
FaZe Dirty me
Oh Gitu what's your problem
This guy!!
What is faze doing here?
I just wanted to know how a completed ship made it from dry land to water. A lock makes so much sense!
Me from 1:11 "here they come, here they come"
Me from 1:13 "here they are"
Lovely
Yea looks nice but how much work to change out the heater core?
Awesome video :)
Very nice
A beautiful ship with a terrible paint job.
its not the comppete paint bro
What?
+HairyViking111 he means they didnt finish painting it lmao they just built the skeleton, they still gotta finish. the pictures at the beginning was the final product.

Super video
Looks like you had fun!
Was there any problem to do the hole construction? Why the last part of it wasn't filmed?
Great timelapse!
thanks for sharing...
didn't watch anything like this before
It's mind-boggling how someone could design something so vast and complicated as this. A fascinating video… but it doesn't look finished to me!? Is this really the end product, with all that scaffolding?
incredible. amazing to watch all the parts come together!
Well, how to 3d print a ship
LOLxDDD GetRekt You upload a model to a really big 3D printer. Simple as that!
TelxGaming "simple"
Vito Coraci I mean it really is. It's the same thing as 3D printing anything! You just need a large printer!
TelxGaming I think that even if a company could build such a printer (we may have the technology for it, but it's soooooooooooo expansive that nobody will ever do it) it would be faster to do it the way they did it. Building part per part allow to build as many parts as you want at the same time ( that's why most processors have multiple cores), whereas a 3d printer is damn slow, and time is money (especially in this business).
TelxGaming Yeah, I guess I can see that.
Great choice of music
What an amazing video.
It's so beautiful to watch :) thumbs up :D :D
Finally a video that gives the people credit, unlike Thompson Cruises
Nice video, Keep up doing
This is the most amazing question ever. Why am I watching this right now?
Ahhh so that's how they build those huge ships! I always wondered thanks! Great timelapse :-)
Watching this makes me think of evolution of everything from nothing to something
The Only One not what evolution, I think you mean growth.
Amazing, thanx for sharing!
Imagine the workers' face when you tell them "NOW YOU GOTTA PAINT THIS SHIT!!!" looooool
That was absolutely amazing and beautiful
Noah would be proud of them at how fast and how strong this ark is lol
Is it possible to pull the engines out of this, or is it not without pulling the ship apart!
I really don't get the conomics of cruise ships - I can understand that ticket sales more than cover operating costs - but a return on the initial build? How many years does that take?
Good video
The bow looks cute
now that was WAY cool!
Millions of details condensed into 6 minutes!
a fantastic watch for me
I find this satisfying
Precise jigsaw...! Interesting time lapse.
wauw...compliment,s for all the hard workers ....great job
in US, we have used Mitsubushi and now have a suv that is super!
Would you look at that. No more building the hull first and then assembling the decks inside it, now all the pieces come pre-assembled and they just put them together like building blocks.

5:11 and it SINKS right here. Ooopsie! :)
Full construction?🛳🛳🛳⛴⛴⛴
