I've been travelling onboard Moby Drea and Moby Otta every year for 15 years now. It is amazing to see how they negotiate rough seas and strong winds, while allowing superb comfort and very high cruising speeds. True nordic design and construction. Love them, they will always remain in my sweetest memories.
Thank you for sharing your experiences traveling on board the Moby Drea and Moby Otta over the years! It's great to hear that you've had such a positive experience with these ships and have come to appreciate their true Nordic design and construction. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences, and I wish you all the best in your future travels!
These ships still look fantastic even now. A great era for ship design where they looked more elegant than most other eras. Another wonderful podcast. Thank you so much, thoroughly enjoyable. Would love to see a podcast about the first Olau twins if ever you are to look at doing one some day.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, Simon! I completely agree that the ships from the era you mentioned have a timeless elegance that still captivates us today. It's a testament to the skill and creativity of the designers and builders who crafted these vessels with such attention to detail. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the podcast, and I appreciate your feedback. I will certainly keep your suggestion in mind for a future episode. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I hope you continue to enjoy my podcasts!
Great video about one of my favourite ferries from the 70's. I got to go on a cruise with one of the sisters in the 90's when DFDS ran cruises from Gothenburg to Amsterdam. Since the cruise took place in the fall there were lot of sea sickness on board at that cruise but still we had a very good time.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's wonderful to hear that you got to enjoy a cruise on one of the sister ferries. Sea sickness can be a challenge, but it's great that it didn't dampen your spirits and you still had a fantastic time. Memories like these make these classic ferries truly special!
I worked on both of these ships between 1987 and 1900 and about to publish some unseen video soon. within the time I saw the football hooligans, and was onboard the Tor Britannia when we went to the aid of our sister ship the Tor Scandinavia. Fantastic boats with a high service speed and some great times!
That sounds like an incredible experience, @lovelifeloveboat! Working on these ships during those years must have been quite an adventure. We're looking forward to seeing your videos and hearing more about your memories onboard. Thank you for sharing!
@@JustFerriesOfficial Thank you, I will ensure you are copied in - yes things were pretty different then - SOLAS 90 had not yet happened and so, the sponsons had not been added to either vessel and it was a great time. Our usual schedule was Monday - Harwich to Esbjerg, Tuesday, Esbjerg to Harwich, Wednesday Harwich to Gothenburg (Goteborg) - then, in the summer, Thursday, Gothenburg to Amsterdam - with a stop over, Saturday Amsterdam to Gothenburg, then Sunday, Gothenburg Harwich. The sister ship did two Har-Got runs and on Har-Esbjerg for a while..
It's great to hear that you had the opportunity to travel on these iconic ferries from Felixstowe! Thanks for sharing your memories and keeping the legacy of these vessels alive!
The most beutiful cruise ferries ever built, so please preserve one of them.

I've been a fan of these two ships since the early 80s. Interesting video. Some facts I didn't know and some great footage. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment, Matt! I'm glad you found the video interesting and learned some new facts about these ships.

I worked as a sparks/ General office Manager on Tor Scandinavia and Tor Britannia from 1981 to 1996... good memories
Ein überaus interessantes Video! Die "TOR SCANDINAVIA" konnte ich mal im Winter um 1990 bei Blohm + Voss ablichten.
Danke für das Lob, Volkmar!
Was lucky enough t9 travel on these from Felixstowe. They were definitely the Queens of the North Sea.
