Eric and I decided to try something we genuinely thought was impossible.. Hitchhike a cargo ship to wherever it was going.. Let the adventure begin.
Thank you to DFDS for being such an open-minded company and trusting 2 random guys walking into their office with such a crazy request!!

The whole crew seemed super awesome and chill.
A lot of cargo ship crews are filipinos, and filipino culture is known to be very hospitable, happy and welcoming.
Yup I did not expect that.
Hi
crew members of cargo ships are in general pretty chill from what i've experienced.
Thought you hated ships because they pollute
A deserving captain 🙏.. He is a humble , has a positive vibes and very approachable man🙌
All are key components to becoming a captain.
Yeah, maybe he can even operate a ship :D
A very good man.
His company is lucky to employ him.
He is very talented.
and bald
He's also got that Old-School in him and his basketball game! Respect to the OG!
DFDS is hands down one of the nicest vessels with such a great crew and captain, this could be an advertising video because after this I'd want to work for this company !
I guess that's why the company also requested Yes Theory to send some footage to them.
They definitely saw this as an advertising opportunity, that's why they said yes. Smart move on their end.
DFDS is one of the best shipping companies to work at
I'm sure that's why Yes Theory was invited. They make beautiful videos that millions of people watch.
The captian did say they could come along but only if they documented it
It’s so bizarre to me that the security seems so relaxed at these big ports, like these guys just walked in lmao
@Jorgz VL11 it's rarely exclusively empty containers in a terminal there's things in containers, plus there's the terminals gear and the staffs gear
Thats cuz what will you steal a contanier?
@Eugene Tsang there is no way it would have been as simple as they made it sound, there would have been identify checks security and background checks, this is all laid out in the ISPS code, i got stuck at the securitygate of one port because theyd been given an old crew list, even thoughthey saw me exit an hour before. As for pay they may or may not have had to, it's not like there would have been much cost to the company having a couple of extra guys on board, and as others have pointed out it's a good ad for the company.
I work at a port in Germany (driving new cars onto or off car carrier ships), we have a card for entry, there are some strict security rules in the port. For example it is absolutely forbidden to bring an unauthorized person with your card into the port (unless its a registered visit of course), and you are only supposed to go to the places where you work. The whole area also has high fences but thats also to prevent car theft since all the new cars are stored there.
@Eugene Tsang yeah that is pretty much what I said
I spent 47 years working at sea, started as a boy of 15 YO worked my way to the top. Never worked for DFDS but sailed with many who had. Never heard a bad word from any former employee of theirs. Hats off to DFDS for showing a caring company that looks after their workers welfare so well, and even allow Clip-Share content makers to go for a trip to experience life onboard. Not only a great video for DFDS but a great recruitment advert for an industry that's always looking for new recruits. Good job by everyone involved!
@Tess Hodgen You need to contact shipping companies and ask about cadetships.
How do you start in the industry?
That was my first thought. Where do I apply? :)
They really were like "oh shit, this is a great chance to get footage"
@Nick Hendley how difficult would it be for someone that has no experience at all to get a job as part of the crew on a cargo ship?
Would have been cool to see a little bit of their destination (Trieste, Italy). It's an absolutely beautiful city.
DFDS deserves a lot of praise for their culture. From the corporate employees to the ship's crew, DFDS is doing something right to have such a welcoming and positive environment.
DFDS IS THE BEST
@Greg P. and thay are probaly from denmark to....
Agreed 💯
Yes! That was super surprising to see!
@Diane r They are Turkish actually :)
I always appreciate when these types of shows let people that do not speak English just speak their native language without some voice over, just subtitles. I feel like more and more channels are doing that, and it is amazing.
Common in a lot of countries. Since majority are expected to be able to read at a very young age.
The captain made me tear up. You could tell he already felt you guys as family.
He seems incredibly genuine and the rest of his crew follows suit, it starts at the top. He runs a great crew.
It's so nice to see this vulnerable and emotional side of these men. They do sacrifice a lot to provide for their families, that's admirable. The captain is not what I was expecting, he's such a nice and cool dude! I didn't know cargo ships could be this cool and interesting!
The captain really fits with Yes Theory for some reason, such positive vibes🙏
"Some companies allow this" The fact certain companies actually do allow this, and no one has realized this except those crazy enough to try it is mind-blowing. What a great and heartwarming crew they are! They treated you like family the moment you got on board. The part of this video where you talk about impermanence and the temporary nature of life and its moments really got to me. Back in June 2009, I got to spend a week in Puerto Rico for my birthday and every day, I tried to learn and do as much as I could, not just the touristy stuff.
While leaving that place and the people I met broke my heart, I knew that its temporary nature only made it that much more special. I learned that you could live every day in that same awe and that's part of what makes this life so amazing and beautiful is its temporary nature. I'm so glad that other people get to learn and experience that too.
The only reason they allowed it is because they're influencers who will record a video, it's for their PR. They'd never make all these accomodations for some random person who isn't giving in return
We found ourselves smiling throughout this whole video. They seem like a special group ❤ Awesome video guys!
Great video
Actually there is a place in Asia that has a ferry that has train tracks on the boat which crosses the caspin sea from Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan
just same omg
Absolutely right thing you said.
DFDS is my new, all time, favorite company after watching this. This has to be my favorite video I've seen you make so far. You're both hilarious and this is the epitome of just saying yes to the most random things. I love what you said; People don't go and have because they don't try or ask. I guess it’s true what they say, it never hurts to ask. So as not to gush too much, that was a terrific story and a testament to the kindness of people. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. On a side note, it's also important to remember how much these crews sacrifice to bring us the goods we consume every day. We should be so grateful to them for their sacrifices.
If I'm not mistaken, travelling via freighter which used to be much more common was how David Bowie preferred to travel as he was afraid to fly. Not 100% certain on that, but I remember hearing about it.
My dad went from Australia to Europe on a cargo ship in 1971. I always ask him about it and he said it was great. Was a massive journey on it's own, think it took about 5 weeks but i'd have to double check that. And yeah he told me that it was quite a common thing to do as it was a significantly cheaper option if you were okay with the huge travel time
Micheal Palin went around the world in 80 days on cargo ships
@Linas Vaičiukynas It is and there is a price.
it is still a thing, there are plenty of routes available, but the cost is very prohibitive unless you are pretty wealthy, it can easily cost 4-6 times more then a flight on the same route, so it isnt for everyone but for those with some spare cash and time it can be an experience
Still very much a service freight operators provide. It's quite expensive though.
8:36 That silhouette on that hill in the distance is of a soldier and it has quite some importance. It says right next to it "Dur yolcu! Bilmeden gelip bastığın bu toprak, bir devrin battığı yerdir" which means "Stop wayfarer! Unbeknownst to you this ground you come and tread on, is where an epoch lies." This is referring to the Gallipoli campaign of WWI (Gallipoli is that peninsula you saw) and is part of a poem by Necmettin Halil Onan. The whole poem is about an ordinary Turk named Mehmet who laid down his life for the freedom of his land against the Entente who tried to divide the Turkish heartland. This campaign was an Ottoman victory, and the struggle served as the basis for the Turkish War of Independence.
Hats off to the Turkish and Bulgarian heroes who fell at Gallipoli, and the great generals who led them to defend our countries' dignity and sovereignty! Enemies in the past - friends forever!
Between 1996 and 2004 I travelled on DFDS freighters about 16 times with my family between the UK and Denmark, I have to say that the crews were ALL as friendly as this (I got a teeshirt too :) ), plus the food and accommodation on board was sensational. At the time I was working for one of their sister companies, so booking a passage was easy.
I'm retired. I've done 28 cruises in cruise ships. This video was extremely interesting. Having owned sailboats, I love the sea. Just feeling the movement of the cruise ship and watching the waves created at the bow was often more enjoyable than the cruise ship's activities. Great video!
Hi retired. 😊
I’ve read that there are people who retire to live on cruise ships.
This is wild boys, the crew was absolutely lovely too
@LLIW BROWN Christians are taught via the *Bible* to pray with their hands to heavens like so: 🙌🏽.
Scriptures:
Psalms 63:4, 1 Timothy 2:8, Psalms 134:2, Lamentations 3:41, Psalms 141:2, 1 Kings 8:54, Nehemiah 8:6, Psalms 28:2, Psalms 143:6, and 1 Kings 8:22.
That's not even half of them. No where in the Bible is it stated to pray like 🙏🏽, you learned that from the world. God tells his how to pray, and that's not it.
@Jesus Saves! And how is 🙏🏾 different from 🙌🏾?
@LLIW BROWN If you're of Christ, we pray with our hands to the heavens 🙌🏽! The world prays like this 🙏🏽.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
Praise and blessings to this entire crew and all the staff at DFDS. Honestly some of the most wholesome people I've seen. The security was a bit iffy about it but everyone else was all smiles and happy to have randoms appreciate and enjoy the hard work and lifestyle of these legends.
My dad works as the captain of a cargo ship and now I'm finally able to see how it looks and feels.
My first Yes Theory video and I loved it. Felt so positive and fun, much needed in stressful times.
I see lots of binge watching in your future! 🤣🤣
What a good company DFDS is and the Captain and crew were the best examples of people to depict their life aboard ship and how respectful to each they are , lovely people .
As a seafarer, that's pretty much spot on. From airport then straight joining on ship with no sleep. Away from the family and friends. Crew mates becomes you're brother, and signing off is a lil heart breaking, and at the same time exciting because you get to go home to your family. Thank you Yes Theory ❤️⚓🧭🚢🛳️
The lowkey hero of this video is the dude at that other shipping company who told them about DFDS. Guy had no incentive to tell them anything, and yet he's really the one who set this whole thing in motion.
Life is beautiful and karma is real. Bless that man and the whole world 🗺 ❤️
He was like sounds like some shit DFDS would do hit them up lmfao
america could never
@Ian actually this is the literal definition of "low-key"..
They used it in perfect context lol what are you on about?
You guys are freaking awesome. The ending made me cry and I couldn’t find any tissue 😢😢😢😢😢. You guys deserve your own show on Netflix or Apple or Amazon. Hello Mr. Hasting, Mr. Cook and Mr. Bezos.. wake up!!!
It's a hard life for both sailor and the families they leave behind. But the sailors work so hard to provide for them. My dad works 3 months on and 3 months off and has done for my whole life, missed many birthdays and Christmas', all i can say is thank god for technology as we used to have to wait weeks and months for letters.
My first reaction was the unbelievable cleanliness of the cargo ship! Awesome captain, cool crew and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yes Theory! Loved it!
Honestly speechless after finishing the video. From the conception of the idea to the final day on the ship exchanging goodbyes, seeing this makes me happy I just wish I could do these things myself.
Special thanks to the guy who guided you, I salute his selflessness. DFDS or Yes, should totally have him on your team. And then to Yes for all the good they bring to this world. Last but not least, DFDS, your culture is truly inspiring. I know it takes true guts to allow such a thing but truly thankful for what you did here.
Captain is a certified G. The entire crew was absolutely wholesome.
I think he can replace TOP G. RIGHT NOW TOP G GOT ARRESTED
@Петар Јурковић He's a daddy
@Петар Јурковић shush, Petar.
Top G
This is by far one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on any platform. The sheer joy coming from these guys, and the crew from the cargo ship is infectious 💚💛💙
You can tell that the youtube video and them being able to do something different was really exciting for them. It must be so boring on a cargoship for that much time.
This is one cool adventure. Not many get to see the inner workings of a modern cargo vessel and her crew. You were spot on when you said that ship's bridge looks like something out of sci-fi; I was not expecting it to be so roomy and well equipped. A big thanks to DFDS for showing us some of the inner workings of the 'supply chain'.
I'm sure that DFDS will get many friends on board from now on thanks to these guys.
I have to say , it appears that DFDS must be one of the top shipping companies in the world. Moral was high. The ship was the cleanest I have ever seen. The staff on shore were very pleasant. The crew were awesome and trained for their drills. The Captain took time to help make this video a smashing hit. Great Job Guys. Who knew this was out there.
@howir0n1c I don't know, they said they chose the route and I don't think the company would change the plans to have this ship take that exact route
DFDS is awesome! Been on one of their cruise ship at least 4 times now.
I heard that First time, thank you.
@Federico R yees, but just by the fact that the first guy thattheu talked to said to them to look for DFDS. Also the fact that the employees at the office wcomed them in a good mood. All of this i think indicates that at least they try to be a good company.
@Federico R true, i'm sure it was no accident that they got sent to the only ship in the fleet with a pool
You just gave these guys of the crew an experience that they will tell their families and friends forever as a very special moment. You are literally part of all this crew sea stories now. That's fucking awesome :)
There used to be a Journeyman trade where you would work for passage on a ship so that you could reach your destination. Some people were usually hired as a package carrier where they would personally bring a package to a destination to have it delivered with a bonus as you were paid extra to travel with expenses paid on either ship or plane.
I like how they have all this luggage with them like they’re going on a cruise😂 Some of the cargo ship workers should make day-in-the-life TikToks and such. They can get a lot of young people interested in this career.
Mad respect for DFDS for allowing this to happen. 💜🍻
And one of the videos I wish was much longer!!!!
I loved this! What a great company to be so open to allow you to join one of their crews! You can see they have a great ethos and their staff are happy. I was even tearful as you said goodbye! Anyway now I now the best cargo company to opt for in future!!
Totally agree Sis! 💜
shoutout the DFDS on the ground employees for being so chill that even the employees for another company at a random port knew they'd be the ones to ask😭😭😂
lol
That guy is a legend who pointed them in the right direction!
@Ky. fact. I always say that morale is much cheaper than the bosses seem to think. This didn't really cost the company much of anything, and I am sure that their employees are feeling great about the experience as well.
Good observation..
This was awesome. Really genuine people. I'm glad you two were able to go on this trip and share with us the experiences you had with these men. Truly awesome.
this connection that the captain and crew shared with these guys is amazing. a true visual representation of love and friendship
WOW, I didn't know what to expect and came away having seen one of the best videos that I've seen. What a great experience.
The Captain and the crew seem like really awesome people the hang out with! I love how they just welcomed you aboard and made you a part of the crew. Loved this video! Wish I had the courage to do this kind of stuff!!
Mad props to DFDS who know how to get positive PR for their company. So many companies now a days don't understand the importance of a positive image. Two thumbs up DFDS.
@Ptao Tom Haha yeah. It's like DFDS was famous there for being a funloving company
@Niksonrex Precisely. If only more companies would be as soulful as DFDS.
Yeah so many companies love being soulless and bleak. Strictly professional. People strive around people they like and respect, lovely company.
@Ptao Tom 😂
I love that even the port workers were like “yea sounds like something DFDS would do”
It is the knowledge of our limited time on the ship that made us want to befriend as much of the crew as possible. Man, that is just pure .
Just by watching this video, makes me feel great, the crew are by far the best people on the internet, and what a capitan
Just over halfway through the video and gotta say this truly is a great video. I can’t believe how they were so hype to have you guys onboard and show you everything. It’s truly crazy how they let you so deep in the engine room, one wrong step and they got a huge problem on their hands!
Thank you for this video Yes Theory, my dad is a seaman for over 20years now and watching this episode mean so much to every family of those unsung heroes that's sacrificing away from home just to put food on our table, to send to us school and provide all our needs.
I am genuinely so shocked that you were allowed to do this at all. These ships can be quite dangerous places if you don't know what you're doing. I am also so surprised at how accepting the entire crew were, it's absolutely crazy.
Most companies would shy away from this, the fact that DFDS truly utilized this is a full blown collaboration video and got all of their staff onboard at this level is truly a show of AMAZING brand culture and awareness of what an awesome opportunity this is for them! Respect to DFDS!
@A Thief In The Night its also good advertisrement
yeah good brand decision to be chill i think
Here in Norway. DFDS are the ships we go to Denmark and Germany and get super wasted.
cheap. nice lugars and disco's and very cheap alcohol
Love DFDS
DFDS out done themselves, the hospitality and the generous crew is top tier
From just seeing if it was possible to being paired with the nicest captain and crew is wild. It's cool to see a big company like DFDS have such a great environment.
Wow, this was amazing. The captain is such a nice and humble person!
People talk a lot of crap about youtubers but people like these two young men are really doing important things putting out content like this. This is probably a better recruitment video for the shipping industry than anything these companies have ever put out themselves. Not to mention the exposition and educational value of videos like these.
This was awesome, I had no idea you could do this. Awesome crew too. I'd love to travel like this
what an awesome crew! great video
@Jesus Saves! Haha, the first time I saw someone bless God..surely that is not needed, it's like switching a lamp on to the Sun.
Why did you recite all that here, now? I fear the unrelated might have arepellant effect, what do you think?
❤️
@Jesus Saves! that's what the problem is 💀 every Christian says something different. Some say it doesn't matter if ur a sinner ur gonna get saved anyway. If there's so many contradiction within the bible and incinsistency why would anyone believe it's the true religion God sent. And don't u think it's funny how u guys worship Jesus more than the "father" even tho he's the creator
@none of ur bussiness Do not misquote me, you are not saved if you're a sinner (one who continues to sin and dwells in wickedness).
You don't even believe in the word of God, it's naive of you to think you're saved.
DFDS you guys are awesome! I love how the port workers have all been incredibly open and polite about such an insane request.
The captain is an absolute W. Wholesome crew and DFDS is a legendary company for allowing this moment. BTW captain is a G in the court!
Good for DFDS. I'm so glad they were able to make this happen!
Crazy, I was literally thinking "how could I do this" last week while working on the Great Lakes watching freighters float by. This video made my day. Thanks!
One of the funniest and most feel-good episodes of Yes Theory i've come across. A few years ago I worked for a company that makes software for the maritime industry and know a little bit about the operations side of shipping, this company and their employees seem like absolute gems
I truly hope DFDS uses this as part of their recruitment efforts. It seems like a wonderful and wholesome company all around.
@LostChances weird answer, are you obsessed with dangers? Handicapped people aren't taken on board..
To your information I've crossed the Atlantic as merchant sailor, sailed northern Atlantic on Tugboat, Fisher and rescue service 🌊🍻
@L R man overboard, death at sea, drowning in the pool, gym injuries. Big or small the company will have to answe for it. You really should explore the world more kid
@SzKiZoU BtSs why should someone being on board, a plain ship be in danger? Have you ever experienced the world?
Passengers isn't working or responsible for anything 🤷🏼
@Deima Have you taken a look at your "average youtuber"? You want a fucking Logan/Jake Paul on your ship? I don't blame them at all. I find it awesome that DFDS not only allowed, but took many precautions to make sure everyone was safe, but I can understand why many companies wouldn't do it.
this was so wholesome, can't believe i havent came across you guys before now
I subbed yesterday and have watched about 4 videos so far.. each one has been beautiful, magical and an emotional journey. You guys are video masters and I honestly can't wait to watch more of your amazing videos... Well done boys, well done.
dude it is still insane to me how nice everyone and welcoming they were
One thing I love about you guys is : You have 8 million subscribers but when you go on these adventures, you don't act like you're the star of the show. You make people feel empowered, you make them feel worthy and appreciated and you give them a platform so that they're able to show their life to the world.
You guys just experienced some good old Turkish hospitality on board the DFDS cargo ship 👍 What a journey to have with some amazing people.
As someone who works in the container shipping industry, it's a big deal that DFDS let you do that. Would love to work a company like that one day.
@Wh3tst0nE not a big deal if you know how ships work. There's a part of the crew called the "steward's department" that takes care of cooking, provisioning, and cleaning the cabins. They have nothing to do with navigation and running the ship other than that. The deck crew takes care of running the ship.
@RustyVaper [Rust Gameplay] yeah, thing is, for them to be able to do this, would massive focus and time investment on the part of Ship Crew, that need to be ready for difficult situations in bad weather or pirates, I imagine. So I imagine everyone's own self-management and certain political correctness (which is typical for professional environments... and I'm trailing off. Lol I'm just agreeing with the thesis that it was a big deal.
Idk what im talking about after all but
I also appreciate the acting skills in the Ad. :)
@Bill Kane We're talking commercial ships, like in the video, not cruise ships.
It's actually a very common thing to book cruise ship travel. The only thing that made it weird was covid. Prior you could literally go anywhere in the world from Port cities.
@Piotr Bukowski You have a great point
DFDS is such a glamorous and beautiful company , just fell in love for soo many good people 🥺🥺🥺🥺 , I Just love this channel sooo much 😭😭😭😭 , YES THEORY ,You guys are the best 😭😭 , Love from France 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
Travelling with cargo ships isn't super uncommon (there's several websites where you can arrange even Europe to America trips over several weeks) but a lot of people assume it's not a thing. Certainly within Schengen it's a lot easier since you don't need to worry about passports and visas, etc which is how Yes Theory could do it on short notice like this. Still, this crew was super nice and great on camera and you probably got to take part in way more than any officially organised trips. Nice.
Genuinely made me smile ear to ear the entire time. What good people. Just doing there jobs, being good people.
A look into another lifestyle...Those who sail the seas with the cargo...A real shout out to DFDS for being open to such an option, but to be seen as a company that is not closed off in the system. Too many OMG boys, but loved the idea and how you never gave up in getting this done.
Waking up to an ocean breeze every morning must be the most surreal feeling you could ever have.
Wow I didn't expect a cargo ship company to be filled with such positive, uplifting people. Whoever that's in charge of their HR policies has done a good job of.
Plenty of them are not. I can tel you that simply based on my knowledge of the human species.
THIS video is a prime example of why Clip-Share should exist. My hat's off to everyone at DFDS who made this possible. No American shipping company would ever allow something like this, because of the risk of a liability lawsuit if a non-employee passenger got hurt somehow. And you even got to see the engine room, and the freaking shaft alley! When I was still young enough to crawl around machinery spaces, I would have killed for an opportunity like that! Thank you!
I love how they were basically like "Thank you Captain, us civilians can only imagine what it's like!" Meanwhile the Master/Captain, and crew are like "tf is he talking about we are civilians" lmao
Crawling into the engine kind of gives you a real sense of horror from the fresh hell of being in there when the ship starts sinking.
This genuinely makes me think of working on a cargo ship, such a friendly group and environment.
Shows how much DFDS is confident in showing what they do I feel like most companies would be so scared bc they do illegal stuff that you hear about all the time.
Maersk
@Scott Duffy maybe not at your company, but there are satellite images of tankers in the process of dumping oil into the ocean
@Zach an RPG’s gonna make a little bit more than a dent, considering they’re built for taking down tanks
@Luxaly .50 cal will take care of that....
@Zippy LaRue he’s meaning pumping oil overboard etc. which doesn’t happen. We have oil monitors onboard that record location. Ppm and how long we pump for, he has no idea what he is on about ships have storage tanks for these kinds of things and also ways to remove water from oil when pumping overboard
What a great captain and crew. You have to hand it to DFDS .
This one was an AWESOME video! I loved the energy of the crew
on a 3 am binge of this channel and so many new things learned, so humbled and awed at how big the world is, and so grateful for these videos created by passionate people
This is awesome. Thank you so much. What an adventure. Captain Ripped is a gem.
What an awesome crew. They feel and act like a family.
DFDS just landed the greatest free ad ever, I would be surprised if they don't reach out for real business.
@Joshua Gall about half of DFDS fleet are passenger ferries.
Now there’s 4.7 million people who might be drawn to choosing a DFDS ferry over a competitor.
I want to work for dfds now
@newnagasaki Ah but that's not quite right either. It's easy to forget that ultimately humans make these decisions. Whether that be a decision by a logistics manager to pick DFDS over a competitor because the two competing offerings are very similar, but this video jumps to mind.
Or the decision of a person to apply to DFDS for a career because of the culture that they saw on display - and no doubt that person will align better with the business and become a better employee because of it.
It is amazing how far these little gestures travel.
@The Confused Fisherman that's fine and dandy but you're not going to decide to use dfds because of this video. You're going to decide to use them if they meet your company's needs...price, capacity, transport time, etc.
@Joshua Gall exactly. They're not a Cruise ship company, they are a freight vessel operator. None of their clients will ever see this, and if they did, it's not going to determine if they get more business from them or not.
working on these ships seem like such a cool job
This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen. Hats off to DFDS for being so welcoming!
I thought it was possible to buy a ticket as a passenger on some of these vessels. One of my teachers said they did that after college with their roommate and it was pretty affordable as not many people travel that way
I'm pretty surprised how successful this was, I would not have thought any company would be on board with this.
This is one of the most wholesome things on the internet right now. Loved it! Props to DFDS for being such good sports!

What an incredible crew 👍 excellent video, very well done.
The authentic sharing from the Capitan saying it was the hardest thing he'd ever done... so cool to see the realness of it all. The bittersweetness was real.
This was amazing. DFDS is a great company! Any company should strive to be like this.
What a wholesome experience and such a positive company
You can tell a good company by the attitude of the employees. These people are happy despite their sacrifice of being away from family. Good vibes from the captain on on down.
The captain seems like a really good guy, I wish people would be more like him.
@NAILS Capt. Bahadir could've replied to you in a mean way because of your rude comment but chose to reply on a very humble manner instead. Goes to show how cool of a person Captain Bahadir is.
Captain Bahadir You are good at Basketball!
There's millions and millions and millions of people just like him. 👍
this type of thing was cooler when it was just done, and not being filmed by some panzy for social media. lol jk cool content
