Onboard Destination Gotland M/S Drotten (Bridge, Engine room & More!)

Описание: This is a video taken aboard the M/S Drotten, currently the oldest vessel sailing for Destination Gotland. She is part of the SF1500 class of ships and was originally built in 2003 as the M/S Gotland. She has for basically her entire career sailed for Destination Gotland, with the exception of the time between 2021 and 2023 when she sailed for Hansa Destinations (another daughter company of Rederi AB Gotland) between Nynäshamn, Visby and Rostock. Currently she only goes during summer season, and primarily goes between Oskarshamn and Visby, but also sometimes between Nynäshamn and Visby, where I took it from.
Her sister ship, the M/S Visborg, currently is chartered to Balearia and sails between Spain and Morocco.

Special thanks to my friend and the engine crew for making it possible to visit the bridge and engine room
