10:42 that was the cutest wave from both of them

As a Swede that lives in the Southern parts of the country, I usually travel the Karlskrona-Gdynia route (by Stena Line) whenever I go to the Gdansk/Gdynia/Sopot area, so it was interesting to see a video from the Nynäshamn-Gdansk route. The train trip would've been longer to Karlskrona, but it's easier to get on/off the boat on the Stena Line route, and a shorter ferry ride, so I think you would've preferred that. Anyways, thanks for the video!

Gdańsk, cudowne miasto ❤❤❤

“By flying over we missing all that’s below?” Sometimes taking the long route along the ground is much better than flying over and missing everything!

I travelled by ferry from France to the UK last summer and I loved it. It was short but while you are on a ferry, having a meal and watching the sea, you do not lose time, you relax. I love slow travels, by ferries, trains, coaches. That's the taste of the travel.

If you're landing at Westerplatte in Gdansk there's a really good ferry that'll take you right into the centre, takes around 40minutes and it is fascinating to travel right through a working harbour, imagine something 10 X the size of Aberdeen harbour, massive bulk carriers loading and unloading, shipyards, side by side with kayaks, yachts, sightseeing cruises.

EXCELLENT Video Steve. Sweden and Poland are now 'Definitely' on our travel list!

Hi Steve Brought back a lot of memories for me. I was working in the Gadansk and Gadinia shipyards in 1980 when the Solidarity workers went on strike. My colleagues and I had to get out of Poland, so we got the last ferry from Gadansk to Stockholm. Then we had to drive across Sweden to Gothenburg to get the ferry back to the river Tyne. So very fond memories in reverse for me. Thank you.

After much travelling around continental Europe, the Nordic countries have become my favourite part. They're so beautiful. I love how clean and liveable the cities are, I love the timber houses you see everywhere and I even love the languages.

I live in southern sweden. Your video of traveling to Gdansk by ferry inspired me to do the same. Thank you! I'll definitely book a trip to Poland soon by boat.

23:40 Yes, Gotland with its medieval town Visby is a must. The medieval Hanseatic city of Visby is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Scandinavia. The whole island is an excursion destination with beautiful nature.

I'm Swedish. I live in Helsingborg and lived in Malmö for some years. I visited Krakow 2 times. Felt really safe and everything was so clean and police was just hanging around everywhere without harrasing anyone. Just felt safe to be honest. They even helped me with finding the way when I got a bit lost. Young people seemed to be out having fun and not to make trouble. Loved it!

Nice video Steve, cheers! And much love Polish brothers /Swede :)

Visited a lot of places in Poland but not, so far, Gdańsk. I’m beginning to regret that, it looks stunning. Another great video which really recreates the atmosphere and tribulations of travel. Many thanks.

"Gotland, I think it's an Island" - Yes, a beautiful and interesting place - it would be a good destination for you some day!

Great video. I like the kids waving in background while you were in the station.

Everything about Sweden looked really good. Clean, well maintained and thought out for the convenience of the people. I noticed plenty of relaxed people going about their day and not a single bit of graffiti until you arrived in Poland. I think the UK could learn a lot from Sweden. A great video, your production standards get better and better, so I thank you for your dedication and enthusiasm.

Wow, Gdańsk looked lovely when you finally got there :) Wouldn't mind strolling my way through those streets myself a lazy summer afternoon.

Sweden is so clean, I have been there but not Poland. It is great that there are viable alternatives to flying. Thanks Steve.

Stockholm is well worth a longer visit. Only been for a day on a cruise but it was stunning. The port you left from is where a lot of cruise ships now berth, but it misses the spectacular trip from Swedish coast to the heart of Stockholm which takes a few hours as the route threads through the thousands of islands.

Just got back from a week in Gdańsk today! What an incredible city. I was massively impressed with Poland in general - I thought Gdańsk would be nice in the middle but no so much elsewhere, I was wrong. It’s nicer and seems wealthier than lots of places in the UK now. The transport is great (apart from that bus you used!) - 2 people on a train for a single journey was around £1.60 and 12 minute Bolt taxi rides were around £2. The food is lovely too 🇵🇱 Dziękuję for the video mate! Looking forward to the next one

Fascinating journey as always with your videos, and Gdansk is an amazing city, full of centuries of history. The reason for the delay in disembarkation may have been due to lorry trailers being loaded on that deck, and elf & safety requiring that they were removed by tractor before foot passengers could access the deck. The reason for the English three pin electric plugs is probably that Nova Star was first named Norman Leader and destined for Cross Channel sailings between England and France, but the contract was cancelled, and in fact she first began revenue service out of Portland on the Gulf of Maine, USA, and subsequently sailed the Mediterranean between Algeciras in Spain and Tangier in Morocco before being acquired by Polferries. Quite a checkered history!

Great video! Sorry about the MTR ticket. One of their trains (the engine) is called Trainy McTrainface. Hope you get to spend more time in Stockholm another time. Gotland is a great destination as well. Cheers!

Taking a ferry across the Baltic Sea must be interesting . Thanks again for sharing this great video. Looking forward to watching the next episode.

I just love a good train station, and those Swedish ones were AMAZING! Beautiful architecture, so light and clean, every bit of them! It’s just great, getting to see places I haven’t been, and finding those gems that get put on the future travel list! Thanks, and ATB!

Funnily enough, we’ve just come back from Sweden and stayed in a place called Farsta Strand which your commuter train would have stopped at on route to Nynäshamn

Great trip and video. I will be in Gothenburg for a day this August .... I love Gdansk I lived there on the 70's and went back in 2021 .. Poland has gotten much better, of what it was before .... Safe trips , keep traveling and enjoying ...

Nova Star was built to run from Portsmouth-Le Havre, but her first route ended up being from Portland, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia in North America. Hence the name.

Loved the starting train journey the scenery looks like it was sculpted so precise and not a bit of rubbish in site, the ferry seemed very pleasant but you certainly got your ten thousand steps in when you arrived in Poland. Thanks for taking me along it was very enjoyable as always, looking forward to the next video so stay safe and cheers.

One day you're going to nip down to the Peak District for a hike, on a Cargo ship via Australia. And I'm all for it! 😂 I love these videos where you take a longest, most complicated route possible.

Your videos are so inspiring! I totally want to go and travel Sweden by rail now!

Great film again Steve. Gdańsk looks amazing

It's amazing that the Swedes have the technology to break down one of those high speed SJ trains into a flat pack.

To joung people saying hello on your KZfaq video Steve 😅 plus your doing a great job on your journeys butt from Cardiff the land of rugby 🏉

Isn't Gdansk a stunning city? I was blown away when I visited there last September - straight to #1 favourite Polish city. Another great video.

I had the pleasure of riding the SJ High Speed from Stockholm to Copenhagen, it was a very good experience compared to VIA rail here in Canada or Amtrak in the US. Booked first class as it was only $15 more than coach and included a meal and beer. (1st class was 3 seats wide instead of 4)

I like the catering catering cabinets Steve 😮 wish train transport had this

For some years you could take the commuter train to the ferry terminal but they rebuilt the station so no more direct connection to the ferry now but you can take a direct bus from the Cityterminal next to the Stockholm Central station now. Gotland is the biggest island in Sweden, you should really visiting it. I must really take that boat to Poland some time, looks great.

While Inter-Railing back in 2002, I decided to visit Gdansk for two reasons. Firstly because Hitler had said in a speech on 1 Sept 1939, "Danzig was and is a German city!" Secondly because the Polish Solidarity movement started there. I was interested just because of its place in history, and I was just expecting an industrial port city, but nothing to write home about. I had a lovely surprise when I found out how beautiful the place is, and Poland is not short of beautiful places. I very much enjoyed your video. Keep travelling and keep entertaining!

Excellent video Steve - liked the police car - remember years ago there was an international police convention in Glasgow and all the local Strathclyde police we having their picture taken with the Swedish police Volvo ( non- Scottish viewers - "Polis" is Scottish slang for police !).

Everything looks so good on this video. It is almost 3D. Different camera. Thank you as always for giving us a glimpse of these beautiful places

Steve, please accept my grateful thanks for all the hard work you put into videos. They make me feel as though I was there with you! Can I go in your backpack next time??

I love how you throw in little tidbits about what you are seeing. Great videos.

A thoroughly enjoyable watch as always.

Great scenery from the train Steve yes Sweden 🇸🇪 looks a lovely country

Thank you for all the wonderfully interesting videos you have done over the years. It’s a refreshing change to see someone who maintains such a high quality through out. Good luck for all your future projects how ever weird and wonderful they maybe.

Super filmik, fajnie się ogląda, Gdańsk i promy Polferries to moje ulubione tematy do oglądania pozdrawiam serdecznie!

We never fly but have driven all over Europe - you see so much more.

I so look forward to Saturday mornings here in Dubai, Steve, where I can enjoy your travels vicariously. You are one of the most authentic travel content producers and you and Alicja are a lovely couple. I hope your journeys bring as much pleasure to you both as they do to me. Best, John

We’ve been to Gotland twice before and the Destination Gotland ship is lovely. You should make that one of your next trips. Very lovely island. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇸🇪

What a lovely station! Interesting experience as usual!

Catching up on videos I've missed. Yet again loving the Chemical Brothers/Star Guitar vibe in the edit of the on train footage. Bravo. :)

Pity we couldn't see more of the cities, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Gdansk. Nevertheless, a very interesting journey and well documented. One would think that there would be a much easier connection from the ferry terminal to the centre of Gdansk without having to download an app. Great video!

As a Swede I really enjoyed the outsider’s view of things I take for granted. (And I keep forgetting how beautiful Stockholm is, even though I wouldn’t move from my beloved Malmö.) It occurs to me that taking the ferry from Trelleborg at the southern tip of Sweden to Świnoujście would have been a quicker route for you.

I am so enjoying your videos especially Scandinavia & being an Aussie you’ve given me ideas on a fun way of travelling . We have previously home exchanged in Denmark & Sweden so excited to start planning a return visit !!!

Wow so nice to see my own areas enjoyed from your eyes! Also Nynäshamn is where the ferry I work at depart from. If you ever want to travel to the beautiful island of Gotland let me know and ill help you with good tickets and show you around the ship! I'm not a youtuber or anything but I enjoy seeing your good material and would love to help you out =)

Beautiful city ❤️

Lovely trip Steve and I think its much better to travel this way than to take a plane. Gdansk looks amazing

Brilliant video as ever Steve, love watching your travels. You will have to go back to Stockholm, a beautiful city and the Vasa museum is well worth a visit. I stayed on a boat called Malldrottningen which is moored near to the old town and had amazing views of the city, recommend for sure. Sweden is a beautiful country. Me and my son travelled Around the Sound (Oresund Sound) earlier this year with an all in ticket which was approx 30 pounds from tourist information centre in Copenhagen and allowed for travel in one direction in a 24 hour period. So we travelled on train from Copenhagen to Helsingor up the coast in Denmark where we visited Kronborg castle of Shakespeare fame and it's also a world heritage site. We then took a ferry from there across to Helsingborg in Sweden and had lunch before taking a train to the university city of Lund which has a fantastic cathedral. From there we took a train to Malmö for a look around Sweden's third largest city and then finally took a train back to Copenhagen over the Oresund bridge/tunnel. Highly recommended and think you would love it 👍🙂

Just like Montrose High Street! Nearly sprayed my coffee over the screen!

That statue of the wee girl upset and pressed against the wall is also at Jupiter Artland in West Lothian, its so creepy they give you a Trigger Warning upon arrival.

Thanks for sharing your journey,Steve.Greetings from Australia.

If this was in may time when you done this i was on fred olsen ship, great city Gdansk well done good video.

Goodness, Sweden looks so clean and tidy!

Great video, Steve. I agree with you: leave LOTS of time between connections. You’ve brought the sunshine along with you. 🌞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Steve. What great looking train and the bistro on board looked incredibly good. Have a good week and cheers.

Me again, You saw the boat to Gotland. That is my suggestion for You to go next. Great island. Lot of history and beutiful.

Is there going to be a follow up video from Gdansk? A significant place in Polish and European history. Also, it looks beautiful. Scott's video on Gdansk is great. 🇵🇱🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I went on the exact same route roughly 2 months later and i also loved everything about it and it was also the first time i went on one of those tilting trains

Many of the X2 EMU's on this stretch have been refurbished, and look a bit different from the one you are traveling with to Stockholm. The seating capacity has been increased by 15%, with the seats able to be adjusted electronically, while the carpets, interior panelling, and luggage racks have also been replaced. The trains have also been equipped with a redesigned bistro and kitchenette in first class.

Love the trip. Plan on taking ferries when I go to the UK. I can hardly wait for my adventure. Safe trip home.

I could travel with you as I too always like to arrive early at any departure point. I so agree with you, arrive early and then do some wandering about. Another stellar video Steve. That meal looked quite delicious, for ferry food.

Aw I just love the scenery going by…I feel like I’m on the journey too excellent job

Watching this video for the 2nd time, enjoyed this alot,thank you for sharing ,😊

Great one Steve, thanks m8! The SJ my favorite train ever. I did the trip backwards in New Year 2008.

Hi Steve great vlog. The train station and bus station how clean. We could learn a lot. Keep it up ❤

Steve, you always find the most interesting journeys, and some wonderful places to stay on your travels. That apartment was fab for the price! And what great wee towns/villages/ports you share with us along the way. Love the way you give the journey details at the end - a big help for anyone wanting to do a bit of exploring in Europe.

First, loved your previous video about Gothenburg. Some 15 years ago I actually worked at Hotel Pigalle. That big sailing ship, the Barken Viking, (where I've also worked) has actually been a hotel since 1995. During the summer there's a bar/restaurant on the top deck, and you can always go up there and see all that "over a 100 year old stuff thingys" from when the ship was in actual use. For some viewers/visitors; During the period when the bar/restaurant isn't open, first ask in the reception if it's ok to enter the top deck. Just pure common courtesy... which (tragically) is a slowly disappearing human behavior. On Styrsö there's a place called Stora Rös (the Big Cairn) where one, or perhaps several, Bronze Age chieftains have their burial place. It's the highest point of both the northern and southern INNER Gothenburg archipelago, with an extraordinary 360 view. And yes, we refer to it as the inner Gothenburg archipelago, as we classify the British Isles as Gothenburg's outer archipelago. 😉 Fun fact; in September 1967 Sweden changed to right-hand traffic (Yes, we happily joined the civilized part of the world), BUT it wasn't applied to the railway. There, left-hand traffic still applies. This due to the fact that it's way easier to repaint/replace road markings/signs and such, than to physically change all the railway switches around the entire country to right-hand traffic, as that change was made overnight between Saturday September 2 and Sunday September 3.

Enjoyable as always mate. Keep them coming.

Well done, Steve. The disembarkation procedure for foot passengers on the old Rosyth-Zeebrugge route was just as slow and frustrating. You did better in Gothenburg than we did, travelling from Copenhagen to Oslo. Our first train was terminated at Malmo because it was running a bit late. So waiting an hour there for the next train meant we missed our connection in Gothenburg, 6 hours until the next train. Despite having booked for the three of us through the Swedish Railways website, nobody in Gothenburg station wanted to know or assist us to rebook. In the end we had a nice lunch near the market hall, and explored a bit before blagging our way through the ticket inspection on the Oslo train. We were past being prepared to take any more hassle. We presumed some kind of food could be bought on board and didn't buy anything to eat or drink before boarding - but there was none. Even the coffee machine wouldn't work with Swedish coins! Incidentally, we chatted on the way to Gothernburg to a Swedish musician who it turned out had been playing when were at Copenhagen's stunning opera house the previous evening, and asked him if delays and cancellations happened often. He looked shocked and insulted and said "This isn't Italy, you know!".

Thanks for the tour. I feel like I am with a friend, exploring! I'm subscribed and will share! Good work!

Brilliant video thanks 😊

Another enjoyable and interesting video, some trip, glad you finally arrived in Gdańsk

What a great video , really enjoyed it 😊

Great video as always Steve. Keep up the good work 👍

Omg I love Gdansk .. Im there often ❤

Really enjoying the videos on the channel well done & good luck on the next one 👍👍

Another great video Steve, really appreciate the variety & effort you put into these, very easy to watch & listen too, congrats on the latest milestone mate

Hi! I found your channel through your previous video in Gothenburg. I love your style of travel vlogging and i will definitely check out more of your videos. Cheers from Gothenburg!

I just love ALL of your videos 🙂 and you have a very plesant voice and accent!

Still recovering from a broken hip but Ive been home now for a week, and whilst i recover, a nice travel vlog to watch. Got to say, Swedish trains look REALLY CLEAN

Such fun! Love your harbor & ferry videos. Right up there with your dash cam videos.

Very interesting and entertaining! Thank you, Steve!

Great stuff once more Steve great video

Interesting, and I had never been to this part of the world before. I was so impressed! Your food ,(especially the soup) looked amazing. May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back...Merry Ann from Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

it wouldn't be a trip with Steve, without things going awry!

I have always wanted to visit this part of the world and after watching your videos definitely on my bucket list. Thank you for the journey 🤗.

I did that route in reverse to Stockholm. I will ALWAYS take an overnight ferry vs the huge hassle/idiocy of flying. As a matter of fact, in 2 days I take an overnight ferry from Oslo to Kiel. Reason being - a Tool concert in Hannover in a week !! Also - to be fair - to take the train in Nynashamn, Sweden to Stockholm city center ALSO requires you have the app and pay thru the app. ALL transit whould just allow a tap of a chipped cc.

Hi Steve what a brilliant and informative video that's enjoyable to watch, thoroughly enjoyed it great views of the countryside while on the high speed train in Sweden,, so i subscribed to your channel which accidentally came across

Thanks Steve, another interesting and informative video.
