- Filmed on 21.12.2016, during a cruise from Copenhagen, Denmark to Oslo, Norway and back, on 19-21.12.2016.
This was indeed filmed in December 2016, but I had forgotten these files on my computer for a little more than three years, but luckily I found them all intact and they will all be published until the 10th of February, 2020.
We had our separate cabins onboard the m/s Pearl Seaways (ex- Viking Athena, 1989) with windows. We even got to film the staff elevators onboard and inside one of the elevator machine rooms as well as in the control room before the ship's engine room, very interesting indeed!
The M/S Pearl Seaways has quite an interesting history: First, it was built for Viking Line as Viking Athena (for ex-Rederi AB Slite which went bankrupt in early 1993 and had also owned the ex-Viking Olympia, Viking Kalypso and the never-delivered Europa (m/s Silja Europa)) for the Stockholm-Mariehamn route and completed in April 1989, then in August 1993 was sold for Star Cruises and was renamed the Langkapuri Star Aquarius (during that time, the elevators got modernized in late 1996- late 1997 since the port of call was changed to Hong Kong in 1998, then returned back to the Nordic Countries, this time to the Copenhagen - Oslo route, in the Summer of 2001, where she has served almost 20 years since then at the moment. Her sister ship is the m/s Star Pisces (ex- Viking Kalypso, completed in April 1990), sailing from Hong Kong on 1 and 2-night cruises at the moment, and has to be captured one day.
This is a night video of the three fore passenger elevators of the cruiseferry, serving decks 3-11. They also used to serve deck 2, but apparently, it is locked-off and the elevator doors have been removed from there.
I have also filmed the Crown Seaways (1991, completed in 1994) in March 2016, so those videos are available too.
