Transatlantic travel on container ship Germany-USA 

Hello 1983, from the island in Scotland. This is brilliant. Thanks for posting. I'm 65 and always intended to cross the Atlantic, merchant marine. Didn't happen, never will now. I have, however, spent 15 years taking in the sunrises from the Calmac Oban to Tiree/Barra ferry. I may just have shared some of them with you...

I did a 42-day round trip from Australia to Hong Kong and back in 2013. I absolutely loved it and hope that one day I will have the money and right living situation to be able to do something like it again. My one regret is that I never got to take a sauna. I also wish I had explored the engine room more, but I was too nervous I would somehow end up in the wrong place and get in trouble. Which was unlikely because the crew guys are all incredibly friendly and accommodating. Filipinos are pretty much the nicest people in the world.

I did my first container ship from Dunkerque to Guadeloupe and Martinique and last one like you from Bremerhaven to Charleston & Miami, ship went on to Mexico and I picked it up on return leg. absolutely fabulous, French was best food obs and crew, officers were French and crew Romanian, both were great, I had the run of the ship except engine room when you made an appointment and were given the tour, unlimited access to bridge and got permission to go aft when casting off but had to keep an eye on the officer in charge and follow him without question. It was the best thing I have ever done, the solitude,the space, the insignificance of man when you're on the ocean is huge. US pilots at Charleston were great, told me to ask as much as I like and to question what was happening. Both trips I was the only passenger, if you like solitude and your own company, dont need amusing and at ease with yourself then this could be for you.

This video doesn’t deserve to have only 200 thousand views! It should get more than one million views!! Because this great man showed something that mostly all of us here have never seen before! Well done!!

Very nice Video !!! I am an ex sailor ( sailed for 18 yrs) and you brought back all the wonderful memories of my sea life .

Great video! I remember that in January 1974 I joined the Greek Merchant Navy on board N/V Aegis Logic (New built) for 23 months travelling into ًWestern Europe, Western Hemisphere, South Africa, India, Singapore, Australia, Japan, USA, Venezuela & Panama Canal. I remember that the most difficult seas were the Sea of Japan, South Africa and the English Channel. It was an once-in-a-lifetime experience!

I've checked all videos on youtube and this is my fav. I watch it very often.

Great video. Something most of the world never gets to see. Nice job.

Very interesting video. Seeing this makes me think if I ever wanted to go on a cruise, I'd go on one of these before a cruise ship. Pig roasts, BBQ, beer, a gym, cozy lodgings and lots of space. That looked quite fun !

Thank you very much for sharing this. I loved your narration and all the beautiful images of sunrise/sunset, blue waters, wide landscapes... A really nice review indeed ! Safe travels :-)

Hi. Excellent video and most enjoyable. I am a retired airline employee and I've never been on a big ship so this experience was fabulous. Thanks.

I love this video and how I would have never imagined a container ship would have a pool. Amazing views from the sides of the ship I would love to experience something like this in my life time but I highly doubt I’d ever.

Thanks for this. I love these huge ships and it was great to see what life is like on one of them.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking us along. Greetings from Yorkshire UK

This video brought back wonderful memories of my own trip. Your cabin was very much like the one I had on the Galaxy, except I didn't have a desk. It was also just a level below the bridge, so I had an awesome window view above the line of the containers. The most beautiful sunset I saw was when coming in to Japan. My crummy camera could not possibly capture how stunning it was. The officers on these ships are Europeans (mostly German) and the crews are almost entirely Filipino. And those boys know how to party.

Very great video! Definitevely one of my favorits. I also love the music. Thank you so very much for those rarely views from the ship!!

The sunrises bring back memories of several trips to Australia and the South Pacific. There is nothing like it!

When I was in the Navy, the shaking and rolling of the ship would put me out like a light.

brings back memories when I was in the merchant navy on container ships for 5 years good video

Great relation. Fantastic trip for the shiplovers. I would prefer this kind of sea tourism than wasting time on overcrowded Cruiser.

for some people this is their "day in the office".so awesome.i am jealous ,i would like so much to have this kind of view every day.great video my friend and great cabin in the ship it was like a hotel!

A really interesting video and had a lovely calming effect you were lucky with the waether

Really nice trip. You had a great cabin. It was very spacious. Thank you for sharing your experience, I have always loved cargo ships too.

This video is awesome! I always wondered how it is to be a conteiner ship crew. And I love the way you put it, the video is so calm, positive and uninvasive. You made my day with this video! :)

TY, great expierence. Did Brh - NY on Container, great Adventure for me also. I loved every moment of it. The change to do one of my Dream things appeared and I took it. No pool, really rough Sea, I was allowed by Captain 1x for 20 min to go outside. Elevators shutdown, furniture was chained down and dishes were flying of the table. The food was great, the time on the Bridge so wonderfull, the way the entire crew had a possitive attitude was remarkeble. My bragging Rights: Never got Seasick"!. ... TY, got to enjoy my journey once again by watching your video.

What a fun, relaxing and beautiful adventure. Job well done . . .

Great video. That is why I like cruising, the sunrises and sunsets at sea beautiful. Too bad on a cruise ship we don't get to see the mechanical systems including engine room, power generation , HVAC etc.

Thank you for great video and for BroMusic

Excellent video. Well done. This is on my bucket list. I want to do a ship from the US to Australia.

Enjoyed it, thx for taking us along

Excellent video thank you for producing and posting it showed everything I wanted to see!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, I’m glad I found a video like this!

Its such a cool way of travelling ....after graduating i really need to travel with a cargo ship too!

Outstanding job, well done sir. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Joe

Really great video! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

very beautiful video with the occasional funny moment (in fast forward). Great shots of the bulbous bow, and I absolutely adored the engine rooms (my late father was a first engineer in/on cargo ships; my grandfather was a captain). I only wish you had spent a little more time on the bridge with slower pan shots :):) wishes for more ocean crossings! sailors are a weird lot, but warm at heart. cheers from Greece

That looks like a better cabin than some cruise ships

Loved your vid, loved your calm beautifully modulated voice. The music choices were so nice such a change from most vids.

Early morning is the best time of the day. Great video.

The scenery is beautiful (a bit scary for me) I would like to go for such a trip 😀😊✌️

Music was great! Love how it was port Charleston! Thank your for this video!

Wow that engine room is really loud , I've been on ships as a load checker Traffic Management export/import but I've never been out of the bay harbor's on any ships going out to sea . During the walk the ocean looks so pretty and blue unlike the brown water in The German Port . The sun rise was really beautiful , reminds me of breakfast on the ocean front in Fort Lauderdale Florida & Lauderdale By The Sea Florida sun rise breakfast .

That was a wonderfully original Video, thx!

As a curious personality, I have always wondered "no entry-authorized personnel only" areas and thanks to RU-vid and great content creators like you, I can get a glimpse of what happens inside those mysterious places like industrial plants, airport grounds or mega vessels.

That is a story well told and shown. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you

Awesome video. thanks for giving us a nice test of marine life. thanks again.

Great video. Thank you for sharing your cruise and experience

Awesome video! Thanks for creating and posting.

I really enjoyed your video my ship we also go to bremerhaven Germany and we make port at the exact same dock where you got off in North Charleston great video I really enjoyed it

This is so awesome, must be a lifetime best ever experience to travel the great seas - wow God is great for sure!!!!!

Looks like a trip that heals the heart

Always wanted to do something like that. Now that I know it is possible, I might do it one day:)

Cara continue enviando vídeos assim muitíssimo obrigado!🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤❤❤

This was great. A trip like this has always been on my bucket list. Next time, show a bit of the mess/galley! Thanks.

Great video, nicely put together. It felt like a friend was showing me around the ship. Good sunsets and sunrise too!

Great video, great narration. I wish we could’ve seen the food breakfast lunch and dinner. But thank you for the video

Thank you for sharing ! Wonderful !

Great video. That breathtaking early morning sunrise was probably the best I have ever seen. You have given me something to think about; I have close relatives in Scandinavia, so I could fly there and take a freighter across the Atlantic to get home. Something to consider sometime. :-)

Excellent video.!!

I had no idea that freight ships accepted passengers. I would have travelled like that in a heartbeat. Great video, but would have liked to see the galley and meal area.

great video mate, nice work! Looks like a memorable journey

Great Video, thanks a million.

Awesome video! Loved every second!!

Hi kinda cool situations. Great video and travel option for the experience. Those that moan about the cost and time to cross the Atlantic need to slow down and take life in. Not everything needs to be done in a rush. How were the night skies when clear?

Beautiful video, thanks

Great trip, something to be remembered. Nice one

Your video is very interesting, despite my bad English, I was able to understand the work being done on one of these boats. thanks very good.

Watched your video Diary right through. Great :) Enjoyed it and reminded myself of the many South Atlantic crossings I have made at sea from Cape Town to St. Helena Island . Thanks for sharing!

Very nice video! Enjoyed it. Thank you.

What a great video.. thanks for sharing !

Loved it brother, Thanks!

Great video, thanks for making it.

The lifeboat looked like a toy in a bathtub next to the ship. Awesome video really enjoyed it.

I've been the Charleston, SC. I've crawled all around inside that old aircraft carrier you see at 26:45. The USS Yorktown. Hot place is Charleston, and the Yorktown, with no AC was a hot box! Great fun though! The old destroyer you can see beside her is the USS Laffey. She had an interesting encounter with an armada of Japanese suicide planes. She took a licking, but kept on kicking and prevailed!

REALLY NICE video - enjoyed it a lot g thanks. Ps, nice music!

I've been considering doing a freighter trip, this was really helpful and a thorough view of what it is like, thank you. Showing all the space to walk around particularly relieved one of my worries. I'm not sure why, but I found all the little signs this is where the crew both works and lives (the cactus on the bridge, the welcome mat, the karaoke) really nice. Was there anywhere to just sit sit and watch the ocean outside? Also, did you ever feel out of place/in the way?

My car traveling from USA to Lithuania, so its very interesting to see life in the Vessel. :)

Very nice and beautiful experience I actually felt as if I was on that vessel ,big up to you my man for showing us the unusual staff to some of us who stays in the cities and townships ,I really enjoyed the video thank you so much!!!

I always wonder what it was like to Work on these kind of Ships now I Know Thanks Bro

I haven’t even thought of THIS, pretty cool..!!! In the beginning of WWII, after school in Illinois, my Dad and his group was sent by Train 🚂 to NYC a few day’s to wait on a Bannana Boat, they had to take that to a new Base in Panam that had just opened, with a stop on the way in Nassau... He said it was Pretty Cool...... 😎👍✅

Takes me back to my days at sea. That would be the noise from the Diesel Generators that you heard by the funnel. No bar though! That was the focal point of all our social life whilst not working or sleeping.

Thanks for this video, I don't know why it even popped up on my feed. I'm currently waiting to hear from a freightliner based in the northeast U.S. But my ticket I've already sent a deposit for is leaving from L.A. To Hong Kong. Sadly and super dissapointed it's been on hold now for like a year and half cause of Covid which I'm not even concerned in the least about. Anyways. Excellent video. I appreciated greatly just to get a look at what it would be like. . Much love and Merry Christmas. I love Germany!!

I love this video!

this is so cool. I envy you for this trip. one day I will do this as well.

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

Hehe, Deck looks awful comparing with engine room :) I'm really surprised how ER looks like! And year of bulid 2001! I'm impressed...

Thanx for sharing, very nice! I also did a container ship voyage from Australia to USA and had a great time! Cheers

Thanks for sharing! Exciting!

Excellent video - really inspiring!

a lot of vlog i watch over you tube on the boat and this is the 1st video i watch that the crew was seen hahaha ...cool man i seen my kababayan seamen !!!

That looks awesome I’m ready to do it!

Great video thoroughly enjoyed.. thank you

Thanks for sharing, Excellent video!

I sailed with P&O Containers and P&O Nedlloyd as a cadet. After I qualified I moved to Cruise then offshore vessels. I did enjoy box boats though. They were better when there was no TVs in cabins though as everyone socialised in the officer’s saloon/crew mess. Once TVs got put in cabins people just stayed in their cabins.

I like that the captain puts on music, ABBA..👍good taste

Wow, great video. Nice accommodations. Wondering how crew physiologically with the boredom of daily routine and not getting on each other's nerves. Nice to have some social functions but great to have alone time also. Can not imagine how it would not magnify bad habits (eating, drinking, smoking - if allowed - I'd stroll the deck smoking cigars every chance I get)

Fantastic video,thanks!

Nice video Maybe next one please use a mike when you talk or ajust the music volume because the music was much lounder. I had ro move the volume up and down between comments and music. Surprising you got the Purser cabin. THanks

Please forgive a stupid question, but were you working on board this ship or was this one of those occasions where you can book onboard a cargo ship as a passenger? and if so, how did you go about booking this passage and at what cost?

Very good. and thanks for posting. and YES, I'll be watching again; I'm green with envy, If only my GS dog could come too.
