  • Sitting poolside on deck 7 of Viking Sky, the sea rough and the ship making good progress. Then the rolling starts and things go flying; then, in a series of heavy rolls to as much as 40 degrees, people and furniture go everywhere and the Emergency Signal is given - the call to Lifeboat Muster Stations!

    I remember being on a small cruise liner in the North Sea when we encountered a bad storm. My cabin had two portholes and was by no means on the lowest of the decks. We were frequently denied natural light as the sea covered the portholes during the sustained plunging and rocking. Then we head loud thuds from outside the hull and a lightboat capsule had been dislodged by the rough seas and was banging against the superstructure. But THIS video puts it all into perspective!

    Those who don’t know what happened, a huge wave hit the ship causing issues shutting down the engines, this turned off the stabilizers so it started rolling more, the captain anchored the ship as the engines were off which made the rocking even worse. Because they were close to shore, helicopters were able to come and evacuated around half of the people onboard before the ship was able to restart engines and dock back at the port with few injuries

    I’ve been on a couple of rough cruises but that was rough, rough! I do recall one time when we were in the Atlantic, on a 10 day cruise round the canaries, Madeira and Vigo. It was 10pm, and we decided to have an early night, an hour later there’s a call over the tanoy “all staff,”, and code word, followed by another announcement requesting certain staff to go to the engine rooms. Next all passengers were put on alert. We had to gather our lifejackets, put on warm clothing, stay in our rooms and wait for the next instruction/signal. I had kittens as I was claustrophobic and the thought of going in one of the covered lifeboats was clouding over me. I stood on our balcony looking down at the black sea, thinking it’s pretty rough out there…..whilst my hubby casually read a book😮. He told me to calm down and relax…I could have thrown something at him, but he did comfort me. Thankfully after an hour they announced us all to stand down, as they’ve managed to put the fire out in the engine room😮!! I thought I could smell smoke but my hubby said I was imagining it. The captain is not really in charge, in a way, the sea is.

    the front and according to the cabin crew the ship can handle it a lot better than from the side. you didnt notice much on the inside apart from the not being able to walk steady and in a straight line and not being allowed outside anymore. what was scary though is when I went to the front windows (there is the library) and you could at one moment only see water in the next only the sky. went the hell away from there again and wasnt able to contain my facial expression for the next few hours 😂 looked like the shocked emoji 😳

      Ships handle waves best from the front, as was shown in the beginning of the video. Crews thus will keep the ship pointed into them in heavy seas. But in this case the engines had all failed due to oil pump failures, leaving them adrift and the ship turned broadside to them.

      This stretch of sea off Norway is well-known for bad weather but under normal circumstances, this would not have been a problem for this ship. The problem was because oil levels were a bit low in the engine cooling pumps - again, not normally an issue. But the motion of the sea tricked the automatic sensors into thinking there wasn’t enough oil, so the engines shut down automatically and couldn’t be re-started. Once adrift, we were at the mercy of the onshore winds blowing us towards the rocks. They eventually restarted the engines but not before a great deal of damage had been done and the ship had already been partially evacuated by helicopters from the Norwegian Rescue Services.
