I Cruised Through The World’s Deepest Canal
Ойын-сауық
The captain of our ship had to hand over the controls for us to pass through the Corinth Canal. We had INCHES to spare and sharp rocks under the water, it was incredible.
This is the Corinth Canal, it’s a man-made waterway and the deepest canal in the world. I’ve just disembarked a cruise where our captain had to hand over control of the 37 million-dollar ship that I was on to a local tug boat pilot who would try to pull us through. To make things even more stressful, the Canal had been closed before this for almost two years following a landslide, it had just reopened.
Thanks to the lovely people who let me use some of their footage in this video:

I had so many questions going into this, how did PEOPLE make this, why did they bother and perhaps most importantly would our ship be okay.
It was early in the morning when we approached the entrance to the canal. I’m not normally a morning person but I did not want to miss this. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience and most of the guests were up on the top deck. We were all so excited to be able to stand outside on the ship as we went through the Canal. I wondered if the walls would be so close that I would be able to touch them and I enjoyed one of the mimosas that was being handed out.
The captain told us that it was too windy for the drones that were planned to film our cruise through the canal. I hoped that the wind wouldn’t cause us any problems, you definitely don’t want this ship to be blown into the side.

Ship claustrophobia to the max. Safe to say, no super cruise ships like the Primo could make it through. Hoisting ships over ground over rocks sounds like a technique that the Vikings mastered.

I went through here many years ago on smaller cruise ship than we have these days. It is spectacular!!!
Many years ago, I went thru the Corinth canal with Festival cruises' The Azur. That ship was a lot bigger than the ship in this video but it still did fit in the canal.
I remember standing on the road bridge over the canal as a child, after quite a moderate road trip from the Netherlands and I thought the canal was impressive.

Amazing to see, mentioned before I missed us going thru it on a less glamorous warship in 1988 as I had just finished a night shift & needed some sleep b4 we docked in Athens to go out! We did get a good photo though! Keep up your excellent work.

Love your informative videos, i was wondering who do you usually cruise with? Is it always different or mostly family? Do you have a preference? I find for instance that sometimes vacationing with friends can be difficult if you want to do one thing and they something else.

Emma, I enjoy your videos. In this video where you compare the spanner on the left, and a wrench on the right, here in the states, we call the spanner a combination wrench. It is closed on one end and open on the other. What you call a wrench, we call a pipe wrench since it is used by most people to work on pipes usually under the kitchen and bathroom sinks. It's interesting how people in the UK and those in the USA have different terms for the same item. The one that gets me the most is what we call a flashlight, you call a torch. To me a torch would be a big open flame on a stick you carry into an underground mine or cave.

Hmm why don’t they cover the walls with that mesh wire they do in the uk to stop landslides onto train tracks
Echo, echo!!!
Regarding the impossibiliy of dragging a ship from one waterway to another, you've never seen the movie _Fitzcarraldo,_ have you?
Whoa! Those are some might big rocks that fell in the last landslide! If an earthquake occurred while transitioning that canal it would cause another landslide and the huge rocks would crush the yacht and anyone unlucky enough to be standing on the deck! It does look like an adrenaline rush for sure Emma!

I was there in May 2022 and wished there would be a boat going through the canal so that I could take a photo. Nobody was bungy jumping, and I could barely stand on the bridge and look down! It was scary, the walls were much higher than I thought they'd be.
