Great to hear that.

It absolutely is.

Oohh thats nice, I guess on board of a vessel it's impossible to offer fast free wifi.

@@Trainviking It's faster, if you're willing to pay. ;-) I tried that once, but usually I don't need it, so I stick with the free one.

Thank you

Haha I use a wide angle, but the showers are pretty big as well. About carbon emissions, I think I might have spoken before I should have done this for the route Oslo - Kiel (maybe that deserves another trip report one day) however it's really hard to find a good comparison for ferries, also because a ferry is caring freight, etc. Freight vessels are know for being big environmental friendly at all, so I guess the difference between different ferries van be HUGE. I also want to make some videos on ferries in Taiwan, because to the Islands of Taiwan you find most (basically only, apart from one other route) domestic flights. If you know more on how to calculate this, please let me know. I want to inform my audience with facts, not opinions haha.

@@Trainviking well.. its not that hard to calculate. The issue is that its never fully objective because even if you calculate correctly, there is still some source data that need to be selected.

Can you show numbers? Come with numbers and scientific research and I can maybe change my mind. However I think none of this is true, when I looked up numbers at least. You will have an audience if you can proof this.

@@Trainviking no problem too little space here. First you need to find the raw material for train tracks then diesel is used and you blow up mountains that has taken millions of years to form, then transport to factory means tons of CO2 emission, then melt the raw material using high temperature, then next transport to building site using ships traveling with oil on open sea letting out more tons od CO2, then work on site to put the tracks in place even more emissions Then manufacture the train itself uses about 100x more energy than building a plane Build a ship just find data from ship manufacturer and you will see How fresh is the air in China where they build these monsters? You cannot see 2 km because of pollution in the air The ships on open sea use oil to run engines, use maritime radar to see all ships on the oceans, they clean their tanks polluting the water in open sea as well even if it is not allowed And a thing I didn't mention before, electric cars are the same polluting manufacturing since you need raw material from earth for batteries But okay you do not see the pollution ships, trains, cars use while all things are manufactured you just travel If the factories were in your backyard then you would realize the problem but everyone ships manufacturing to other side of the world and brag how well their country is doing while they instead hide the pollution to another side of the world Be real friend, open eyes and do your own research I have done that but who cares everyone wants cheap junk and be "environmentally friendly" by not see the real problem

Aahhh actually now you made me curious about the other vessel haha. Maybe for the next time, I'll be sailing on this route (although I try to take other routes for trip reports).

@@Trainviking yep, sounds nice :) the Germanica has all the restaurants, shops etc on one level (7) with only cabins on the remaining decks. On the Scandinavica everything is at the front and the staircases there are pretty confusing, for me at least.

I don't know the offering of the Metropolitan restaurant, must be better I guess. And for a solo traveler, it's just what you prefer. Of course going out for dinner alone is different then together but I saw more solo travellers.

For passenger transport the majority of ro-ro ferries are practically zero emissions because their primary function is freight transport, without any passengers they would still run using near enough the same energy.

I think there are ferries right at the strait of Gibraltar, maybe that’s an option

That's on my list. I want to combine that with some trips in Morocco.

It is still depending on many factors and I guess the lost I show in my video isn't really an independent list. Ferries are better than cars and planes that's 100% for sure. On this route there are alternatives as well, however for most routes that's not the case so the only option is between a ferry and a flight, than the ferry pretty much always winns.

@@alang5764 It kind of depend what balance they have. There is rather big diffrance between something like Serenade for Color Fantasy and Stena germanica. The first two are basically cruise liners with 2 floors of trucks and cars While the second category is basically ferries with half a floor of cruise like activities.

Yes, it didn't fit in this schedule though. Maybe another time when I'll travel up north.

Hmmm I might take back these words and mayve include that line one day as well. I'll do some more research on that.
