AIDAprima Cruise Ship : Full Construction Time-lapse by MKtimelapse

[@Lucas-wj8kl]

The way those sections fit perfectly is so satisfying to watch.

[@kalpeshwani8520]

There s lot pre assembly activities.....

[@Voyager1786]

What I like is the fact she has a classic straight bow!

[@ethanmalcolm3658]

I love it when ships have that

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

about 5 decks too high to be "elegant" in my opinion, but I too like the straight bow.

[@Voyager1786]

+Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch Yes she does look a little top heavy!

[@Norwegian733]

It goes through rough seas better aswell.

[@Genius_at_Work]

Only if it's not to rough. In some really bad waves the bow will literally dive into.

[@someonenew5198]

Thank you for sharing! It is fascinating how this enormous ship is made by assembling huge parts together....Lots of work that sure is!

[@Gurbe1]

5:07 Oi! Them tugboats are stealing our ship!

[@luigiluigini9500]

Makin movies Singin songs Anddddd Fightin round the world 💪💪

[@مادهوسودانميشرا]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Bolognese_concorde]

Lol

[@inthependent]

Took longer than I thought. Damn 6 minutes

[@tyrellspeed90]

Watching the boat get built with that music playing is so adorable.

[@jeroendesterke9739]

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.

[@Bonstergirl1]

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

[@McRocket]

4:50 - How sweet. They took the little fella out for a 'walk'. And cleaned up his room whilst he was gone. ☮

[@medullaoblongata9670]

Incredibly beautiful construction absolutely love the classical bow engineering. It’s really like LEGO for grownups really.

[@Hilux5972]

I will say one thing for this box, that straight bow looks fantastic. Great to see it making a comeback.

[@godbluffvdgg]

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...

[@StaK_1980]

Classic straight bow line, love it!

[@Ostsol]

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!

[@blockhead330]

Yeah it reminds me a lot of Lego

[@gusneaker]

The bow looks truly old-fashioned. It's very similar to the Titanic's!

[@WeBeYachting]

Nice video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.

[@Bellinghamster]

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.

[@MaxCMoos]

+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

[@TonyStark-cv5vd]

+Max C. Moos do they work 24/7?

[@MaxCMoos]

+Tony Stark In fact they don´t. Otherwise i might have included more night shots. But the editing makes construction seem continuous, right?

[@TonyStark-cv5vd]

yeah right.

[@spiritusIRATUS]

Proud to be a naval architect :D

[@johanssonfin]

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

[@spiritusIRATUS]

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.

[@sergiosalazaraviles4616]

Yeah, you should be proud... Naval engineer

[@gloryblackguyofthehoodcaus7448]

Sergio lol

[@francesco5254]

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?

[@jamesjames3525]

Excellent Video. An eye opener. Well done.👍👍👍👍

[@anantgarg8741]

those little tug boats tugging the ship were looking damn cute.

[@tompinion4138]

It is truly amazing how they build ships these days.

[@DirectorBird]

The US navy supercarriers are built the same way and they still take seven years.

[@coffeelink943]

I'm really amazed of seeing the cruise ship being build then the ship inside

[@laura-ann.0726]

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.

[@connorpusey5912]

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 😂

[@abd-elrahmankhalifa4453]

A great piece of art......really ship building is wonderful ❤❤

[@itsMilad030]

Love and respect to Japan ❤❤🇯🇵🇯🇵from Iran

[@clobbyhops]

It’s like a lego ship set wow - awesome work

[@Toomprist]

Its amazing to see how they build cruise ships!

[@philo5778]

And so, everyone finds it normal to build this abroad, as in Europe we were unable. bravo, super, let's continue like this.

[@reececollison5101]

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!

[@raindogred]

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

[@tonyb1486]

humanity, you've come a long way baby.

[@hackerdogesamuraidinossaur3904]

Chabert Garmin Since making stone tools to leaving our planet and build giant constructs of materials we refined.

[@JoelHomieShow]

This video is amazing! Thank you for posting it

[@colinbuchanan8776]

The logistics of building these things absolutely blows my mind

[@OrbitzFlies]

I seen her in Palma aboard the discover 2 by Marcela cruises and she is a beautiful ship

[@keke4000]

Very cool, I still think it's amazing that humans can build something so huge.

[@V1Troger]

Best model kit ever

[@deeluve22]

So, basically, this is a massive 3D puzzle?

[@rahabrahman9213]

Derek Straker just a massive lego

[@TheObsidianX]

Derek Straker isn’t everything really a 3D puzzle? Unless it’s a 2d puzzle

[@ussindianapolis9137]

Ya

[@disgoree]

Derek Straker basically yes 😂

[@abrahamkuyoc7311]

They r designed to b built like legos xd which Is fun

[@LisaSimpson2]

Ahhh so that's how they build those huge ships! I always wondered thanks! Great timelapse :-)

[@michael3147]

Watching those huge brick pieces come together is soooooo satisfiying

[@mashalkhan4459]

thanks for uploading such an amazing video

[@LaochKW]

She's a beauty. Never seen a bridge like that though

[@straightfromtheheart7549]

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?

[@AdmiralThakain]

This is art with art music! Great!

[@josephastier7421]

Those prefab sections were gigantic.

[@flambatious]

Bit by bit it’s bolted together! Love the bubbles idea to save fuel

[@epistte]

Its all welded together. Bolts would be cumbersome, leaky and not strong enough.

[@johanssonfin]

That is a magnificent looking ship!

[@henkzaanstad5857]

wauw...compliment,s for all the hard workers ....great job

[@chokedup53]

incredible. amazing to watch all the parts come together!

[@mattbryan9418]

Amazing... I love videos like this.

[@Marz-SPS]

Finally a video that gives the people credit, unlike Thompson Cruises

[@TanvirAhmed-kk6pt]

thanks for sharing... didn't watch anything like this before

[@remsaviation]

Great timelapse!

[@bluegrade]

It is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard that built the battleship Musashi.

[@Scripture-Man]

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?

[@Nichodo]

I wonder if the workers who builds the cruise ships get to go on cruises on those ships?

[@paulkazjack]

No they're sick of them,and are also aware of the rip-off cruises generally are.

[@marlon8678]

Why is it a rip-off? Don't know really much about cruises

[@alexxela8956]

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?

[@Exodon2020]

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.

[@janselkennethtolentino8269]

Wernher von Kerman Well, German engineers are one of the best (I would rate them best). Oh, and I also like KSP!

[@jvcardesign]

Imagine the workers' face when you tell them "NOW YOU GOTTA PAINT THIS SHIT!!!" looooool

[@astroswtf]

This is the most amazing question ever. Why am I watching this right now?

[@masakata7040]

[@flaneur5560]

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?

[@kurtdylanlegada4476]

Well, how to 3d print a ship

[@TelxGaming]

LOLxDDD GetRekt You upload a model to a really big 3D printer. Simple as that!

[@BasedBrah10]

TelxGaming "simple"

[@TelxGaming]

Vito Coraci I mean it really is. It's the same thing as 3D printing anything! You just need a large printer!

[@selimshakur3189]

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).

[@BasedBrah10]

TelxGaming Yeah, I guess I can see that.

[@elusion8822]

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.

[@Genius_at_Work]

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.

[@Anglo-Saxon9]

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.

[@Hannodb1961]

+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.

[@makomako4323]

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.

[@SuburbAllied]

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?
