Das Traumschiff (The Dream Ship) is a German television series that first aired in 1981 on ZDF. It would become one of the most-watched television shows in Germany and continues to air new episodes. Part soap opera, part drama, part travelogue - the premise is quite similar to The Love Boat with typically three independent storylines involving guests onboard and the crew working to provide the all-important happy ending. The ships traveled the world docking at exotic ports including Tahiti, the United States, Bermuda, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia.
From 1981 to 1984 first twelve episodes were filmed on two ships from Norwegian American Cruises the Vistafjord (1981-1982) and the Astor (1983-1984). In 1986, the Berlin (FTI Group) was used until 1999 when the MS Deutschland (Peter Deilmann Shipping Company) took over. In 2015, a new ship, the Amadea (Phoenix Reisen) was used as the backdrop for the series.
The Bermuda episode originally aired December 26, 2001 and features:
• Heide Keller as Beatrice von Ledebur, Cruise Director
• Siegfried Rauch as Jakob Paulsen, Captain
• Horst Naumann as Dr. Horst Schröder, Ship Doctor
