- Many thanks again for my latest cargo ship experience which was wonderful.
I enjoyed the trip on the Gerda, with Captain H. who ensured that I had my best experience to date.

I highly recommend this trip!

Back from Hamburg, I would like to give you my feedback.
It was a very interesting week I spent on board; captain Z. and the officers were all very open and friendly, so there really was a good atmosphere.

As I told the captain, I felt I was 40 years younger as I spent hours on the bridge, just like when I was an officer on merchant ships...

When I said to Capt. B. ‘thank you for the good atmosphere on board’
He said to me: Well, I didn’t have any stress because the crew made a good job.
This was what I felt, a peaceful crew, who did their work every day without complaining.
I liked to watch the Boson splicing a perfect eye into the moorings.
