A newcastle lad CalMac fan I’m not the only one 😂 will keep watching your vids

I remember MV Utne, and was surprised when it was sold so soon after being built. But MV Utne was too small for the Utne-Kvandal route (in Hardangerfjorden, east of Bergen). It was replaced by a larger ferry called Utnefjord. Yes, Norway are getting rid of older ferries, either sold abroad or scapped. It’s a shame. Almost every routes are run by battery ferries in Norway now. It’s a good thing, but I just think it’s happening too fast. Just all of a sudden, all the good old ferries are gone.

She’s so pretty!

Good video next time I would recommend travelling during the day and sitting on the other side because that’s where the nice scenery is :)

I care if it’s a ship to shore ramp! Get your ferry nerd on !

Great video Craig, am threatening my wife with a weekend in that hotel

I didn’t know this. Most interesting. A shame about these closed down ferry terminals, but that’s life. Very practical for passengers to have a ferry port just next to a train station. Thanks for making this video. Anymore old unused ferry terminals in Scotland?

And see you in the premier league next year at Portman road!

Amazing video Craig, really want to gonto deck five on a night sailing now!

Not a big fan of MV Alfred, but the crossing looks nice 😊 The classic is after my taste 😊 Anyway, I see I must visit these parts of Scotland sometime, looks amazing 😊

Amazing! What fun it must be 😮😊 I remember as a 9 year old boy, I spent 2 days of my summer holiday at the ferry that my uncle was working on. And I was also lucky enough to drive that ferry too. Something I never forget. It was this ferry no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:MF_Aure_ved_Åndalsnes.JPG Anyway, Thanks for sharing the video. Cheers from a ferry freak and Newcastle supporter from Norway 😊

€15 you regard as expensive! It's very reasonable.

Being Irish, having extended family in Rural Ireland and living in Manchester 23 years, I come home on SailRail via Holyhead quite frequently - Dublin is incredibly expensive and the experience of coming into Dublin can be cringe at times, but Irish railways and the LUAS trams, as well as the DART are a joy to behold and are most impressive compared to the U.K. railways

I'm a big fan of ferries. I never knew these things. I often wondered why Stena pulled out of Stranraer. Like Holyhead, dying town, yet still a vital link to the Republic of Ireland.

I have been on this crossing many times to visit family in Northern Ireland. I have been lucky not to be on board when the sea gets a bit choppy. I have never been on the night crossing though. I remember taking the crossing from Stranraer before the new ferry terminal opened.

Awesome 👍👍

Get up Craig Best one yet

Cud av put a sute on for big adaventua m8. Nuff said

Haha thanks mate!

Captain Craig Bryant of MV Loch Tarbert 😀🧑‍✈️⛴️

Great video lad!

Although CalMac didn’t run out of Troon regularly prior to chartering the MV Alfred the SeaCat used to run from Troon to Belfast.

The ship to compare Loch Frisa with is surely Coruisk? Smaller vessel designed for shorter runs like Mallaig Armadale but moved to Mull given demand. I would guess it too might have found the weather you had a bit bumpy?

Like the concept lad but wind noise ruins the experience. Love Ferry travel...a true adventure....but the simple addition of a wind deflector would have made this film so much better!

No cafe on the MV Alfred ? Well, that's a bit cr*p ! After all those minutes of regaling how lovely it is, and then out of the blue.... no cafe.

Amazing video. How long does the ferry take to Belfast?

0:01 I went on the MV Isle of Arran ferry earlier this month and it was very very crowded 😮 Had food though and after spent most of the time outside enjoying the views. Saw Dolphins Had my timings changed so lost time over in beautiful Arran

650 views in 20 hours - does this count as viral for a ferry comparison video? 🤌🏼

Baffled how they couldnt have put a coffee machine on the Alfred at least! Even the small Loch Frisa ferry to Mull has one.

ARRAN FERRIES MV Glen Sannox MV Glen Rosa ISLAY FERRIES MV Loch Indaal MV Isle of Islay WESTERN ISLES MV Claymore MV Lochmor Pioneer was one of the options in the vote but lost the vote because people preferred other names that fit in with the local area with the Lochs and Glens. People are not too keen on random names that have no relevance to the local area The new Islay ferries will compliment MV Finlaggan but replace MV Hebridean Isles The new western isles ferries will compliment MV Loch Seaforth but replace MV Lord of the Isles

Great video again! When the Alfred runs its normal route it has a great cafe! Good morning rolls, chips (later in the day) and your sponsor will be happy, Costa Coffee 😂

Great video! You should seriously consider come to Sweden/Finland and try out our ferries! :)

Cracking video Craig. It was steaming in to dock!

I have been to Arranmore island. My dad was from there. And my mom’s parents also.

What a fascinating and evocative spot! Rusty tracks, semaphore signals, and seagulls go together well. Enjoyed it. Also enjoyed hearing your accent: I'm ex of Blyth here, living in the US now.

Wonderful as always! Hi to Rachel!

Beautiful shot.👍

Cheers for the content mate, one word of advice - why don’t you try ferry videos?

You should go on the Newcastle-Amsterdam route with DFDS Seaways

Yous hourly visit Colonsay at some point !

Great video Craig 😊 It looked to be incredibly busy!

I was already thinking your face was like someone on a new fairground ride. Looked a nice place mate, shame about the sound due to the wind. Keep at it you are a natural.

A great one, I know you normally do transportation videos but it would be nice to see one featuring Portadown/ Craigavon/Oxford island

Nice Ken cam, you need a wide angle head cam.😂😂

Nice wee film Craig. Keep it up. Showing the amazing adventures to be had in our part of Ireland.

One of my favourite channels! Always learn something new! Keep it up 👍

My favourite calmac vessel is the mv isle of lewis, but mv finlaggan is awesome

Going on this lady tomorrow a couple of hours before the storm is due, should be an interesting crossing

Aw, shame you didn’t get to Castlerock! A great journey though, more so if you’re over 60 🙃
