BUCKET LIST DAY: THE SUEZ CANAL! MSC World Europa Episode 10: Our full transit!

Hi everyone! Welcome to part TEN of my vlog series from my recent 21-night cruise onboard MSC World Europa, one of the newest cruise ships from MSC Cruises. This cruise took me from Dubai (UAE) to Marseille (France), via the Suez Canal, so I have so much to show you!
In this episode, we're going to be travelling on our full transit of the Suez canal - the part of the cruise I've been most excited about. Truth be told, this canal was the key reason for me booking this cruise - I've wanted to tick this off of my bucket list for years!
If you're new to my channel, hello! I'm Fraser, and I want to use this channel to showcase to the world the cruise industry. I'm spending the rest of 2023 mostly living on cruise ships (as a passenger), and I hope to share my passion with you! So, for now, hit the subscribe button and let's go - I've got SO MUCH to show you!

OMG what a Sight, must give you the chills 😮❤

[@FraserAtSea]

Yes, you're absolutely right - it was SO amazing to see the Suez Canal - one of my favourite cruise experiences, for sure! Thanks for watching!!

[@wendingourway]

I'll take the tired look any day to be able to complete this trip...one on my bucket list as well as the Panama Canal!! Fantastic!! Bruce and Otis

[@FraserAtSea]

Yeah, I’d do it again in a heartbeat - absolutely stunning!

[@jon-paulnellist9395]

Thanks for such an interesting video. I've never seen a Suez transit video so this is really fresh content. It looks amazing.

[@FraserAtSea]

Hi Jon-Paul, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Really glad you enjoyed the video - hopefully I’ll be able to keep you entertained throughout the rest of the year!

[@roxymager8052]

Loved this! Its on my bucket list too :) Thank you for sharing your adventures 😊

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey, thanks so much for watching, and I’m glad you enjoyed!!

[@steveellwood4279]

Fantastic insight, thanks for the video Fraser.

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks so much for watching, Steve!

[@jikjakjoyo]

Great video! Looks amazing 🤩

[@FraserAtSea]

Thank you!!

[@cherifurr3935]

Oh man-at least the early rise got you a beautiful sunrise! Too bad you couldn’t at least get a coffee that early…and that they told you the ship would leave earlier than it did. Pastries looked delicious! You need to wear a baseball cap to protect your head and face from the sun! Excellent filming, editing, captions and fascinating transit. Too bad they didn’t have any narration during the transit. That bridge was just amazing… So amazing that you got to do this just in time! Can you imagine all that convoy of traffic just coming to a complete halt??? So sad…

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey, I realised the same about a hat a few months later, especially after getting a hair cut in the US and it being SO intense with sunshine - now resolved! Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed! I know - I can’t imagine how strange it must be to see it so quiet right now!

[@SoloSueTravels]

Ah well, at least having gotten up so early, you got some nice shots of the pool deck when it was empty. :)

[@FraserAtSea]

Ha, every cloud…!!

[@joyturnbull-eb8hh]

Great video Fraser, fascinating. You’re so enthusiastic make me want to do it 😀

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks Joy - one for bucket list for sure - you totally should!

[@mayavandoorn261]

Nice video Fraser. Wanna see that for myself. However tomorrow is online checkin for my Norwegian Gem cruise yoohoooo!

[@FraserAtSea]

I’d really recommend if you get the chance - it was amazing! Great news for you that check in opens tomorrow - I’m embarking Royal Caribbean in Israel tomorrow morning!!

[@mayavandoorn261]

Next year I will cruise further from home. Israel sounds great too!

[@paintyorkshireheather269]

Another great video.

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks, heather!

[@1981vrs]

Thank you for this video. Great editing. Can't believe the change of weather over a short space of time.

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks for watching Jess - really glad you enjoyed it. Neither could I - typical Europe…!!

[@tammy_oh_nevermind]

Love this, thanks! I will never get to see this, or the Panama canal. Enjoying your experiences! Wonderful sunrise too. ❤

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks, Tammy!

[@ellenbryan7268]

Love your videos, Fraser! Thank you for sharing all this with us!

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks for following along, Ellen - I’m so glad you’re enjoying!

[@KenTravels360]

Nice video, Fraser! I am looking forward to do a full transit of the Panama Canal next year, and it was exciting to see this.

[@FraserAtSea]

Yeah, it’s an awesome journey - I’d massively recommend the Suez! Which ship are you doing it on, Ken?

[@KenTravels360]

@@FraserAtSea Rhapsody, the ship you are on!

[@llroxs1]

Fraser did you need a visa to travel throught the suez canal?

[@FraserAtSea]

I didn’t, nope :)
