Juggling my day job & my true passion of ferry travel, I've adopted a solo nomadic lifestyle; touring Europe promoting ferry travel to tourists around the world as THE way to get from A2B when visiting our beautiful & diverse continent.
From Norway to Tanger & the Canaries to Italy, I can be found sporting my trademark mohawk making vlogs and writing blogs of my travel adventures.

No luggage restrictions, excellent facilities, great value for money and beautiful vistas guaranteed, why travel from A2B any other way?!

Does anyone know what the situation is around getting a berth. Is a berth compulsory or an added upgrade?
@@paulpenfold2352 thanks for watching. On overnight sailings cabin accommodation is mandatory; either an actual cabin or a reclining seat. A vlog on how to find your cabin aboard can be found in the Brittany Ferries playlist of my channel plus, a blog at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
@@A2BviaSeaonTV thanks
I loved the original Oscar Wilde on the Rosslare to Roscoff route
@@MrPhilipmullen Hi. Thanks for watching! Me too; I travelled on her between Pembroke Dock and Rosslare Europort whilst covering for refit. She presently sails for GNV. Myké, founder of A2B via Sea Instagram: thebearded_blogger www.a2bviasea.co.uk

Cool video! It is always great to see the ships at Newhaven. ⛴️👍🏼

Story with the fella asleep on the floor??!😂
@@larrydevery4840 unlike other operators overnight cabin accommodation is not mandatory so a good way to save money plus, hot beverages and snacks are available from the bar 24/7 if you get the midnight munchies. A blog can be found at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
The Ben should be reinstated / recommissioned, as the Manxman is proving unfit for purpose with many delayed departures and cancelled sailings.
@@normanmeharry58 hi. Thanks for watching. Not sure what the Ben's future holds. Hopefully she will be reinstated in the fleet. An onboard tour can be found in the IOMSPC playlist of my KZread channel plus, a blog at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
Very good Ferry always has a special charm to it
@@garshin-vo7hj hi. Thanks for watching! She is a great ship. A blog can be found at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
B.C Ferries could use a couple of these ,when a kid at the beach tosses a rock into the Salish sea they shut down due to "rough seas" whereas this unit can take any sea state and with it's enormous capacity nobody would be left at the dock!!!
Hi. Thanks for watching! Plenty of storm footage in my KZread playlist 'When travelling doesn't go to plan '
Thanks for travelling with us! We hope you enjoyed your trip and look forward to welcoming you onboard again soon🚢
You are very lucky to have Irish ferries comment on your video!
Booked to travel on it in 3 weeks time, cannot wait 👍
Hi. Thanks for watching! You'll have a great time.
It feels weird seeing Spirit Of Britain in Irish Ferries branding
Hi. Thanks for watching! It does but, the livery suits her. A blog will be published too www.a2bviasea.co.uk
Brilliant video!! Hopefully will get to see a video of the new ferry that is taking over the Pembroke to Rosslare route. Hope all is well, take care
Hi. Thanks for watching and for your kind comment! There are two video tours of Isle of Innisfree in the Irish Ferries playlist of this KZread channel plus, a blog at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
@@A2BviaSeaonTV thank you, I will hopefully be travelling on the ferry when I return from Ireland. I travelled over on the Stena Nordica from Fishguard to Rosslare
@@peterdnreynolds777 if you take any photos of your journey; the ship, her interior, etc feel free to send them into Facebook page A2B via Sea so I can share with all my followers. Full credit will be given to you. Best way to send them would be by the messenger button on the page.
Looking forward to going on this next month, think the £12 per person for Club Class is money well spent. Thanks for the video,
Hi. Thanks for watching! Absolutely right, the £12 club class charge is definately worth the extra. A blog will be published too www.a2bviasea.co.uk
Really enjoyed the tour
Hi. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely nothing différent onboard..exept the return of the restaurant... do you see the scale model of the ship onboard or p&0 take it off
Hi. Thanks for watching! There are no models aboard Oscar Wilde. Further refurbishment of her facilities will be undertaken in due course to give her the Irish Ferries corporate image www.a2bviasea.co.uk

Thank you for the video, we are to sail to France in October and although have been on the WB Yeats before, this is the first time we have reserved club lounge, so this was very useful.
Hi. Thanks for watching! You will not be disappointed with her Club Class Lounge. A blog with loads of handy hints and tips can be found at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
I think they had always got the configuration of these magnificent machines wrong. Why didnt they make them for passengers only? Pre tunnel days these could have connected with the trains rather than coaches and it would have been a much quicker way to get abroad. Ships are for cars and lorries, its totally wasteful lifting a ton car 6 feet in the air. With a good rail network getting to Paris would have been a doddle. Wasted opportunity.
True. Thanks for watching!
Just travelled on the Stena Hollandica after viewing your VLOG, Went on 3 day motorcycle tour of France, Germany & Amsterdam & returned to Harwich on the lovely Hollandica. And yes a beautiful Vessel indeed. The crew all seemed very happy in the work roles. Plenty of smiles & very helpful. Next trip is planned for September, departing on the overnight Harwich to Hook of Holland, then through to Italy via Austria & Switzerland. May be looking at returning via france, any advice for the best port on return as we will be riding from Italy. Love the Vlogs & especially the classic ferry footage. Keep up the excellent work I love it. All the best, From Mark (Rochester Kent)
Hi. Thanks for watching! I would suggest DFDS at Dunkerque would be your best option if returning through France. Vlogs in my DFDS playlist. Have a great time in your next adventures. Myké, Instagram: thebearded_blogger Founder of A2B via Sea
I remember running for the Palermo - Napoli ferry at the last minute over 10 years ago, thought I'd just miss it. We peds clustered around a lift on the car deck and were given an impromptu "safety briefing" then and there before being allowed up. The ship vibrated so hard the economy style seats were unusable for sleep. I was on deck most of the time, it was like being in space, pitch black. Loved seeing Vesuvio with the orange sun behind eight hours later. Met a girl on board too, didn't smash though
Hi. Thanks for watching! Do you recall what ship you were on?
@@A2BviaSeaonTV it was one of the Tirrenia (or was it Tirennia) ships I believe. I could be wrong it's been ages lol. My uncle booked the ticket for me
Now the post in the facebook group makes sense! :)
Hi. Thanks for watching! More vlogs to come. Thanks for following A2B via Sea on Facebook Instagram: thebearded_blogger www.a2bviasea.co.uk
great upload as always.....still lots of stena line influnces left ....
Hi. Thanks for watching! Pleased you liked it. My next vlog will be Grimaldi ship Zeus Palace, Palermo to Livorno
I've sailed in similar conditions the last time I went to Dublin and I would recommend anyone with sea sickness to go as far to the stern as possible and just lie down and go to sleep! I just found a spot on the floor! It was a horrendous experience! I've also been on the HSS during a storm and at one point the ship went to about 45° and the shop and restaurants came crashing down! It was a miracle we made it back tbh!
Loved the larkspur, old eurovoyager

Thanks for the video, is there any outdoor area within the ferry for some fresh air? Thanks🙂
Thanks for watching. All ferries have exterior decks; some are for those who wish to smoke and some for those travelling with their pet dogs. www.a2bviasea.co.uk Instagram: thebearded_blogger

Wow I am amazed, there is literally no one on this ship, where the only person on here when you filmed this?

Worked on her after P&O scrapped the Boulogne route. Though I liked my crewmates I hated the ship and the working routine. Much preferred the routine on the Pride of Hythe in the Boulogne days. Was very little in the video that I could relate to, but my sincere thanks for the upload
Hi. Thanks for watching! I have loads of interior footage of the old Dover ferries from the 80s, 90s and naughties on VHS tape which will be digitilised and added to KZread Channel 'A2B via Sea on TV ' in due course. Stay tuned.... Instagram: thebearded_blogger
Looks like it is looking into a mirror. We shouldn't support an anti-British company.
Thats a very complicated ship.
Hi. Thanks for watching! All facilities are located on a single deck so navigation is easy. My blog can be found at www.a2bviasea.co.uk
Wonder if you saw any dogs and if they were out and about on deck? We’re in a pet cabin with 2 large flat coated retrievers next month. Hoping we can take them on deck for walks.
Hi. Thanks for watching! I can confirm I did see dogs onboard with their owners. The dedicated exterior deck is at the stern of the ship, pretty close to the cabins. My blog can be found at www.a2bviasea.co.uk where there are some pictures. Myké, Instagram: thebearded_blogger
What years was the hoverport there
Hi. Thanks for watching. Hoverlloyd operated from Pegwell Bay to Calais from the 1970s. They merged with Seaspeed which operated hovercraft from Dover to Boulogne, the newly formed Hoverspeed being based at Dover. The Pegwell Bay site was then used as a maintenance base until closing. www.a2bviasea.co.uk
Used to use the Sally line to Dunkirk, mainly for their Smorgasbord. Shame that no ferries operated from Ramsgate now, would take some of the load from Dover, even if it was just freight. The A16 in France is easily accessible as it is in Calais.
Hi. Thanks for watching! Yeah, the good old days of ferry travel. Loads more old footage to be uploaded so stay tuned....
Good to see this ferry still going, what was its original name. Looks well maintained, good for another 50 years.
Hi. Thanks for watching. Her original name was Prince Laurent and she operated from Ostend in Belgium to Dover UK. My blog can be found at www.a2bviasea.co.uk and shows how she used to look.
Would have used this ferry when it was new!!!!
This looks like a nice break to Spain 🇪🇸
Hi. Thanks for watching! It absolutely was and I would highly recommend it. A blog will be published too www.a2bviasea.co.uk Some photos on Instagram: thebearded_blogger
Great job 🤩
Thank you 😊
Was that you on the ticket machine! 😎
Thanks for watching! I was filming 'live' whilst making the transaction to show how easy it was but, I didn't film myself.
The icon on the ticket machine had a Mohican hairstyle too. 😁
@@ritamatters9129 oh, 😆. I hadn't even noticed that. Gonna have to rewatch my own video lol
She looks way better than she did in nz 12 years ago
I went on it when it was the straights man in Picton nz
