[@dexthedrone]

I have taken the Copenhagen-Oslo ferry. I recommend getting one of the rooms with a balcony, or access to the first class outdoor deck. Makes all the difference. Also if you haven't tried Hurtigruten in Norway then I highly recommend it, it is on the more expensive side but worth it. If one is lucky during winter one have an awesome view of the northern lights from the boat. If you have any questions about traveling in the Nordics, then feel free to message me. I have lived and worked in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.

[@DisposableSupervillainHenchman]

Seeing the Northern Lights would be so cool!

[@peter7811]

Hurtigruten is not a short term classical ferry experiment..more a cruise travel..

[@dexthedrone]

@@peter7811 Yes and No. If one take the entire or a longer part of it then it is more like a cruise. However one can just take it for a few stops. like 1 or 2 and then it is more like a typical ferry ride. I have for example taken it 1 stop between Tromso to Silsand, which is a 4-5 hour trip. I then did not pre-order a ticket or anything but just walked on the boat in Tromso and paid there, and then jumped off at the next stop. For these shorter trips you got the option to get a cabin or just roam the ship.

[@KAAKKK]

How wonderful! I’d love to do a cruise of the Norwegian fjords one day

[@JugglerOfWords]

I used go on trips with the Oslo ferry with my parents back in 90's, and it was always a lot of fun, there were great food and drink, a place with arcade games, a cinema, and probably a lot of other stuff I don't remember... last time I was on the ferry was about 10 years ago going back to Copenhagen from Oslo (me and my dad rode our bikes there) and it still as great as I remembered... I never tried any of the luxury stuff though, but besides the buffet there was a few expensive restaurants as well...

[@BNGamesYT]

Even with what appears to be a nearly empty boat, everything seems so clean and professional. The chef's took care with each meal. Couldn't help but feel lonely with no one around though.

[@gr1mrea9er82]

The washing machines are obviously there to assist truck drivers, who sometimes spend their whole week driving. This way they can wash their clothes while crossing to Hokkaido.

[@bnlhu]

that actually makes it better

[@RX552VBK]

i would LOVE to travel on the ferry by myself! Its like being pampered! LOL

[@kblasterbug]

Almost $500 usd for a little under 24 hours seems kind of expensive

[@brianb8516]

@@kblasterbug if you compare the cost of an equivalent quality hotel room and meals, and the cost of a train trip, I doubt there would be much difference. There would be cheaper options on the ferry as well.

[@TheDjuske]

I was super surprised that there is a bullet train running under the sea! That's so cool!

[@scotdan1]

Thank you for this video. When you next visit Europe I would recommend taking the ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm. It leaves about 18:00 in the evening and calls into the Åland Islands en route. One of the best things about this trip is that when you wake up in the morning the ferry is sailing through the Swedish archipelago where there are hundreds of islands each with their own little red wooden cottage. It's stunning.

[@tuoppi42]

I don't know if there still is some cruise line with open front deck. That Swedish archipelago was really amazing to watch from that deck - I think it was some of the Silja Line boats, now Tallink Silja or something.

[@finnishman9624]

@@tuoppi42 At least in the Symphony and Serenade sister ships there is a deck that goes in the front on about deck 5 or 6 or somethin like that

[@Memphisdoug]

Everything is just so spotlessly clean.

[@RX552VBK]

I never get over that myself. Public transit in the US (especially in my states NY/NJ) can be overwhelmingly filthy. And having grew up in NYC I know MTA workers try their best to keep stuff clean--but when you have a public that don't care its not right imo.

Things are looking up for international travel. Japan is looking into "vaccine passports" for Japanese here who want to leave the country and go abroad. It won't be too long until tourism and non-essential travel starts up again soon 👍. Life in Japan can be very relaxing. Travel isn't too expensive (if you know where to look 😉) I recommend at least a trip here.

In case you are interested, a brand new 20 hour-long ferry service started two days ago between Yokosuka and Kyushu. I cannot remember the exact name of the Terminal in Kyushu but it is located not too far from Beppu. The ferry advertises very nice facilities, including, apparently, a movie theater. Perhaps, you would interested in reviewing it. I planned to try it in the near future.

back in 2009, I had taken a ferry cruise overnight from Stockholm to Helsinki for a day trip before taking it for another night back to Stockholm. We were on board M/S Mariella operated by Viking Lines. Our coach was also transported inside. I enjoyed your ships and train videos very much because I enjoy taking them as transport along with airplanes. I do not know Japanese well and hopes someday I can travel like you do in Japan, such as taking ferry from a place to Hokkaido or other parts of Japan. For traveling around UK and Europe, I did either by coach or trains, and most of the time I would be so tired and sleep all the way :D If you have not, I like to suggest you to cruise on M/S Nippon Maru by Mitsui OSK Lines. I love that vessel, and 1 of the things I had enjoyed is the grand bath facilities. Another tip to share, if you or anyone is cruising internationally, please go to the top deck to look at the flags. It will always show the flag of the next arrival country.

[@roachtoasties]

About Europe: Several years ago I took a round-trip ferry (Viking Line) between Stockholm and Helsinki. The ferries leave late in the afternoon and arrived the next morning. I booked a cabin. It was inexpensive to book, but food on the ferry wasn't cheap. The ferry was nice, but not as nice as the ferry here. There's another ferry line called Tallink Silja Line. I've never been on them, because they're more expensive, but those ferries are supposed to be nicer. I suggest for anyone visiting Stockholm who has an extra couple days to visit Helsinki by taking a ferry trip there.

[@poulknudsen2522]

Yo también lo hice buen viaje...pero hace muchisimos años....creo que era en la tarde en esa epoca...el viaje Estocolmo Helsinki...como era verano de día...

[@finnishman9624]

I have been many times on both Viking line and Silja line so i can say that they are similar in quality but Silja line has some bigger and newer ships (Viking line has the newest of the bunch called "Grace" and it is my most favourite ship of all) so it isnt a really big deal wich one you choose

These ferries are inexpensive, because they are part of the European highway system and are subsidized. We crossed to Finland and back to Stockholm for an uncle’s 75th birthday in February. It was fun being in the hot tub near the bow of the ship, feeling the bangs as the ship broke through the ice.

"Can you believe bullet trains are running under this ocean?" As an Englishman who has taken the Eurostar train from London to Paris via the Channel Tunnel, I can honestly believe that.

[@MM-hd6xo]

About Europe's ferries - all most well known ones are in the Baltic Sea. The more countries they visit - the better. Nordic people go to Russia to drink cheap, Russians and go to Nordic countries to enjoy civilization, and everyone go to see the Norway fjords. However, since there are about 15 different countries in Baltic and around, I'm afraid most of these cruises are either cancelled, postponed, or will include only 2-3 countries at best (since most countries, have different policies regarding you-know-what, even between EU ones regulations are different).

I live in Germany and have been very often in different parts of Norway. You can go there by train, but also by ship. I prefer the ferry of Color-Line, which runs daily from Kiel in northern Germany to Oslo. The departure from Kiel is at 2p.m. and it's arriving in Oslo on the next morning at 10 a.m.. It's really a good journey through the islands of Denmark up to the north! 🙂 I also enjoy the journey back to Kiel, when the ferry goes along the wide Oslo-Fjord to the south! Departure in Oslo is also 2 p.m. I enjoyed the journey back home, too.

[@bofast]

I went on one of the Silja Seranade / Silja Symphony ships from Stockholm to Helsinki and back in the summer of 2018. It was quite nice, though except for the several hours going through the Stockholm archipelago you will mostly just see open ocean. I did at least get some nice photos of the ship being completely surrounded by fog one morning :) The inside was clean and comfortable with a good breakfast and some decent restaurants. I think it took about 17 hours one way, then 6 hours ashore and then about 17 hours back again for a total of maybe 40 hours. The Stockholm ferry terminal had a check-in desk specifically for Japanese tourist groups, so they probably get a decent number of Japanese tourists now and then.

[@angelofdudes]

I took a ferry from Greece to Italy in 2014 and it was really great! i wouldn't recommend if you get seasick because it moved a lot but it wasn't so bad! I didn't pay for it so I don't know the price but it didn't seem like a bad deal for whatever the organizers paid.
