A Tour Inside the European Highlander
The **European Highlander** is a ferry that is operated by P&O Ferries on their *Larne(Belfast)* to *Cairnryan(Scotland)* service in Northern Ireland. This ship was built in Japan in 2002, with 53 crews, can accommodate 410 passengers and carrying capacity of 21 188 gross tonnage.
The MV European Highlander is one of the fastest ferries on the Irish sea which sails on a top speed of 23 knots. It also gets a transformation in 2013 giving the passenger a more comfortable and luxury stay on board. And since they operate up to seven days a week crossing Northern Ireland to any parts of the UK is easy and convenient as you can also bring your car to the boat. From Larne to Cairnryan in Scotland, it only takes 2.5 hours of sailing. So if you don't want to travel by air then this ferry option is made for you there's no baggage restriction, you'll not going to pay an extra charge for overweight luggage.
From Port of Larne in Belfast, we board the ship with our car.
All these cargo trucks and cars are off to Cairnryan. We get off after parking the car on the boat and go upstairs into the passenger decks for boarding.
I'm not a fan of travelling by sea. I got scared of big waves and the rocking of the boat when the sea is rough is killing me. But then again it was boat so this big ship might feel different. I don't know, we'll see. As soon as you open the door, this is what you're going to see. Look at that!
I can't believe that this is what it looks inside. It's gorgeous, elegant, stunning what else can I say? Come let's see more! *Welcome inside the P&O Ferries European Highlander!* Information Desk If you have any queries, concern just goes to the information desk and they are happy to help.

Sitting Area Sit, relax and enjoy the view of the sea. You can also watch tv only it has no volume. But truly the place is like in a first-class hotel.
There's also Children Play Area and Gift Shop on board. And you can go out to have some fresh air or to smoke. Observation Deck
And here I am just enjoying the view.

Hey, I feel like i'm on a hotel, the looks on every picture is really just like a hotel. I only experience boarding once on a big ferry. I akready forgot how was it's been a long time already, I think I was just in middle school when I experience it.
I know, J even forgot that I'm inside the ship not in a hotel but then again it looks like a hotel lol. I can live there π
Haha, you can if the sea is not so wavy, but what if the it is haha.
I can't. I'm not going, I'm taking a taxi. But seriously you can barely feel it. Just like in Airbus vs small plane.
I super enjoyed the tour! Thank you for this virtual tour tired momma π But it's surely morw enjoyable in real β₯οΈ
Haha, yes it is just don't go to the slot machines and gamble lol
Don't worry, I'm economical so I'm not really a fan of gambling haha
I laughed a lot at your feelings that you write here today. "I'm not a fan of traveling by sea. I got scared of big waves and the rocking of the boat when the sea is rough is killing me." Because I remember my time so much that I get scared and nervous in the same way. I haven't even sailed inside a big ship yet but now I feel my feelings too. But maybe it's just a matter of time. I feel like I can go to the information desk because I'm one of those people, Who are quick to panic and go for information. But I also laugh a lot at myself later when I remember some of my memories. But I really feel happy to see you at this wonderful place, " European Highlander" just chill and get to your place safely, Thanks for sharing
Haha I remember my first time on the boat and the waves were rough it made me cry and told the captain I want to go back to the port lol We have a small boat back home but never did I go in the middle of the sea with my brothers or dad. It scares me. π But when I see that the water is calm like in Turkey, it's great! You're very funny haha you're very like me, we can go to information desk together lol
yeeeh give me five.
I have never been into a big ship.. But my dream is to ride on a cruise someday ππ just a dream... That ship looks elegant in the inside
Excuse me for butting in, but we have the same dream again. Haha! I think it will be worth it if we will start saving for it now. I just hope when we push through that dream, we will not encounter Titanic. π€£
Haha.. Our dreams are alike ππ let's push this π
Haha, push!
I also dream of that! π Then every time you wake up you're on a different place then can roam around back to the boat, super grand all the cruise ship I see on tv lol
True.. Sa tv lng nakikita. Kya dream ko dati magwork sa cruisehip kado hndi ako marunong lumangoy π€£
What a sight. When reading and looking at the picture it feels like i'm personally on the boat.
You're though and writing skill is totally astonishing and realistic. You're the best. Keep going dear
Wonderful boat, it's beautiful inside.
A beautiful ship, I have never traveled by boat either but I would love to one day.
Wow, it's an absolutely amazing ship. It's unbelievable what humans can build if they cooperate. And it's also very sad to see what they can destroy if they don't. Let's hope the future holds more cooperation and less division.
It is really amazing, thank you. So true. Division can ruin everything. And working together for building something extraordinary will required teamwork. If we can only work altogether.
Very beautifully stated. π
sorry, only had time to skim...still saw your sneaky bits of humor injected in there...Lol. i'm well, but still busy. i hope you and your family are well too.
Yes I know that, been checking your account see for an update but there's none so I know you've been busy. Cheers for being alive and keep living safe and sound lol. Thank you for checking out and well wishes. You take care Crypt!
thanks for checking in with me...much appreciated! you take care too! cheers! π§
I'm having wine. I need a good sleep. Tired today. Just be safe and happy no matter what you accomplishing. Cheers (lift your glass of water)
What a majestic ship π’
Thank you PVMihalache! Cheers!
It really looks beautiful. My nephew has worked on several large ships for several years so I know from him what they have on such a ship. I would like to be given the opportunity to see it all live someday.
That's awesome! I think they have a cool job working on a ship, going to different places! Would love that too but not for the wavy sea lol. I hope you will have that opportunity and do take it, just board and enjoy!
He worked as a sports coach. Unfortunately, he had to stop when he injured his shoulder.
Aww that's sad. Is he fully recovered now?
Yes, the company he worked for paid for all the necessary treatments, but that hand must no longer work hard, so he can no longer do the job.
What a beauty inside! I'm pretty sure you forgot about your fear of big waves and the sea with such luxury and comfort. And oh yes, that kid is yours LOL! No doubt about it hahah!
Hahaha. I'm laughing. Thank you Lyke! And I did coz I don't feel like in the sea. Would love a cruise after that :)
Wow I'm thrilled. It's an amazing experience. I have never traveled with such a ship. I have been on a ferry many times.But these ferries are for transporting cars. I've also been on ships ... but ordinary ones. This one of yours is like a hotel on the sea. I would like to experience it. I almost forgot ... the chicken was great..I also made rice (Thank you)
Anong ganda naman jan, nasa hotel naba ako? Hihi, gusto ko yong golden coin, uwian mo naman kami madam, kahit isa lang, baka pwd isangla ba haha. Meron ba yan nong ganon sa titanic? Sana pumunta ka doon sa unahan tapos nagmoment kayo ni hubby mo like Rose and Jack, with background music ba π.
At basal Ruffa at baka ma titanic din ang ending pag nagpilit. Haha, bumili nga ako ng coin bhe ay hindi naman kasarapan! π
Ahahahaha, yon laang π Ay bakit nakakin ga yun? Hahaha kala ko namam coin talaga na gintubog pala hahaha
Wow I keep on touch with your travelled places. Europe is very expensive and I think you are very rich π
