In one of my former lives, I used to design and install digital video systems on cruise ships. Here is some video of two of my ships, SuperStar Leo and SuperStar Virgo being launched from the shipyard in Germany.

  • Aaaa, there it reads, in Germany.....OK

  • Papenburg, which is in northwest Germany. The footage is from the webcam on top of the shipyard and from the shore of the river Ems.

  • Meyer werft shipyard?

  • Yes. Do you know of it?

  • Superstar Leo and Superstar Virgo are twins right ?

  • Yes, the SuperStar Leo and SuperStar Virgo were twin "Leo Class" ships completed in 1998 and 1999 respectively. No other "Leo Class" ships were built. Leo now operates as the Norwegian Spirit, while Virgo continues to operate under Star Cruises (My last comment about Leo still being a Star Cruises vessel was a misprint, I meant to say Virgo).

  • Great video! Loved it!

  • ive been on a cruise once... and im looking forward to go on a cruise with one of these ships... :)

  • @mjscrossover Its real, those are real ships from Norwegian Cruise Lines and Star Cruises.

  • @elpdm172 we share the cruise :D

  • Yay i was born in Papenburg! Sadly i moved away right after i was born. So i never had the chance to see a ship launch! damn:D

  • I kept expecting to see Gumby jump out onto the screen...

  • What do you mean in "one of your former lives?'' You only live once.

  • @effyportable ahem... shdnt it be malaysia? :D

  • The Virgo is a nice ship. Not the biggest in it's class but I still remember walking up to her from the pier and being overwhelmed by the sheer size. She's a very steady vessel too, I felt like I was on solid earth during the entire journey.

  • I didn't know the Germans built cruise ships. I thought they only made ovens......
