One of the greatest Piraeus 90's videos :)

This is a great video. Somehow the sad fate of these ships and their back stories keep dragging me in, although you already know it will not end well for most of them. Thank you for sharing this! 👍🏻🍀

Fascinating trip into the past ! Thank goodness you documented this when you did , thank you very much !

Wonderful video. I love hearing the pronunciation and often find talking to ship enthusiasts the different, or perhaps, the correct version of how to say the words we see in books - such as Aliaga, Australis, Scythia etc. An excellent record Peter and thanks for spending those Drachmas for our enjoyment.

I love your videos. Thank you.

I worked a few years on Pacific Princess...I think I was onboard during that arrival filming... Breaks my heart to know she went to scrap. I thank you for filming all these ships. Classic ships that are no more.

You are my new favorite channel! Bravo! I am a child of the mid-century ships, also from Los Angeles. I saw the Queen Mary pass my house on her last voyage to Long Beach in 1967. I was five years old.

What a great video peter. I can't believe how many ships you got to see. Incredible

I traveled on the Stella Oceanis with my family in 1981, great memories

A fabulous feast of glorious cruise ships, the kind of ships that I loved (still love and miss). How very fortunate some of us are to have been in Piraeus on similar such days when it was busy with such fascinating vessels. I miss those days and those ships so much.

This was a stunning blast down memory lane. Those of us who remember THIS Greece are truly fortunate, there was something so magical about it. Thank you for sharing such beautiful footage, I instantly went back to my childhood summer memories.

Great video !!!

Wow! What a fantastic video! I didn’t want it to end. So nostalgic... 1994 was the year of my first two cruises, my parents and late aunt took me when I was just 7 years old. I remember it very clear. In fact, that year we docked twice in Piraeus: first time in July onboard the m.v Odessa Song, and later in September , just one month before this footage was taken, onboard the lovely ss Sapphire Seas (ex. Emerald Seas). My late and beloved father took me early on deck to see the vast selection of cruise ship on port that day. I remember spotting the Pacific Princess too (again just one month prior to this footage). I really miss my beloved aunt and father from whom I inherited my passion and love to passenger and cruise ships, and I really miss those tiny little ships of the past. Having back to Piraeus on future occasions, on F/b Nissos Kypros, m.s Rotterdam v, and m.s Zuiderdam - it was always pure fun and emotion.

I almost had tears watching this! So many memmories travelling from Switzland to Crete, and love this old Ships! I think there all gone by now!

So many great images of vintage passenger ships. What an amazing day that must have been.

Wow, really interesting video!! Sad thing is pretty much every ship in the video is gone now. Of particular interest to me was the Adriatic Star @17:22 who was the 1959 built Princess of Tasmania, who went on until 2005.

Another hit out of the ballpark Peter Knego, you got to visit three ships; all classics. I enjoyed the visits you made. I know more will be coming, thank you so much for getting the interiors of the ships you did get to visit.

I would absolutely die to see all of these ships today. It’s such a shame most of them are gone 😔

Beautiful lines even the merchant ships have more sheer than the floating boxes they produce today. I worked with some of the old timers who helped build the Windsor Castle in my home town my father served his time at Cammel Lairds.

November, 1973, the U.S. Destroyer DDG-5 docked in Piraeus with two other Navy Ships, I loved the place, people were very friendly to us, and, the local food was GREAT, it's where I first tasted Oozo, and, the last!

Finally been waiting for weeks. Loved it!!!

Very interesting!!!

So many Beautiful old Japanese Ferries...shame most of them are gone now, they were legendary this whole video is a Treasure Trove for me and my Greek Friends, I hope you don't mind if I share this! also Incredible footage of Armeniya (wish we knew how she was going to look...my guess is similar if not the same to what was done to her sister Bashkiriya Funny that Arkadia is pretty much one of the only ships in this footage I can think of that still "exists" so to speak...though sadly in bad shape in the Philippines under government ownership after her last owners did some less than legal dealings 4:46 ah the beautiful Rethimnon...Formerly the Central No.5, her owners only lasted ONE year...then kaput, all 5 of their ships sold off, two To Algeria (long careers with no known incidents), two to Greece (Rethimnon and her Sister Candia), and the last one...the Central No.6 which eventually became the Poor Tampomas II and met a Violent and Fiery end in 1981 with upwards of 440 dead 15:54 my poor poor Sea Venture...I could rattle on for hours about her...me and her owner Taki are good friends and seeing her like that makes both of us quite sad, so much potential...all squandered because the shipyard chosen to do the work was quite incompetent (did not follow the plans and led to the ship being overly top heavy) and also unsafe...burned partly not too long before you filmed this and that was Takis last straw, then he later came back to the project a few years later with the intent of operating her as "Seawind Royale" for his Seawind brand, even made her the logo of the company...but alas, that was not to be of course...he tried many MANY more times over the years but in the end she of course...as you said...died at Aliaga like so many others 16:19 that's another failed project...ironically RIGHT NEXT to her former sister, the unrecognizably rebuilt "Dame M", intent was to rebuild them both the same but...from what I understand the company ran out of money to do the work and she sat rotting for a few years before heading to the breakers, shame too...those Hankyu ferries seem to be pretty damn immortal, just look at the ones that went to the Philippines! (oldest JUST got sold for scrap and she was built in 1984) 16:41 the old Sassnitz, East German ferry rebuilt as Silver Paloma, then left to rot pretty much as seen here as "Megistanas" (I forget when she was scrapped) 16:55 Poor Italia...a PERFECT Italian vessel in every way in my eyes :( 18:26 Oh for gods sake...thats Popi P, so SO much insurance fraud and subterfuge in her career haha, she was a tiny Danish ferry called "Fynshav" originally, then Sold to various owners never really operating again until 1992 when sold as Star one...cute little cruise ship for Saronic cruises, had brochures made in everything and was completed...but then "mysteriously" somebody broke into her and Smashed up her pumps causing her to sink, then the wreck was raised in 1994/5 and began rebuilding to resemble the VERY strange ship "John P" but smaller, of course that never happened and she was scrapped in 2002 I don't suppose you ever encountered Tony Lelakis "Money Pit" in the form of Regent Sky?...looks like a Giant Red Brick in the middle of the Bay? haha

glorious VHS days

Your legally required to hum the Love boat theme tune everytime you see the Pacific Princess.

Yes ships do reach the end of their ropes 30 years or so. But It feels sad to see...

Beautiful little ships with elegant style. 6 minutes in looks like SS Norway style deck addition but only more sympathetic scale. What is the piano music 6 minutes into video. Today everything's humongous monstrosities, only saving grace to QM2 is she is a Ocean Liner.

5:25 The Love Boat (Sings theme song)

It sad because the love boat its now gone same with most if the vintage passenger ships

So many memories of Piraeus ......the golden age of cruising when one took a small intimate ship......I''ve been on so many beautiful ships in my time. Would love to share with you my "list" which starts with the Matsonia and Lurline, thence to the Queens Mary and Elizabeth, Caronia....on and one. Let me know where to send you my historical list of ships I've sailed on! Yasou! Mark

These ships are so much more beautiful than the wallowing whales that pass as cruise ships today.

The Sundancer did not ranground in Alaska in 1984 she Ranaground in Duncan Bay on VANCOUVER island on her way to Alaska she ranaround north of Campbell River BC she was towed to VANCOUVER harbour and during expo 86 she was a hotel ship in New Westminster. BC on the Fraser river I saw her there

Peter if you were to make your for sale videos available in some way I could access them without a DVD player I would buy them tomorrow.

So much of the world I've never seen and perhaps never will! What a terrible thought!

Oi sao belíssimo navios! Parece q tinham uma beleza unica hj em dia os navios parecem caixas de sapato ou prédios nao parecem ser "NAVIOS"

27:55 is that the Panagia Tinou?

Those open top lifeboats would never cut the mustard

6:40 Have you ever visited or sailed on her? And if you have would you make a full feature video on her?

Do you have anymore information on the Ioannis Express? I'm curious about her

greta approves

Great video! Could you please tell me the title of the piece starting at 14:50? Thank you
