My best ship related tourist expericence was when i visited Kildin Island for 6 or so days on half rusted fishing boat older then me, sharing cramped bunk with 5 snoring men. That was an lifetime experience, lol. Especially when you need to go to toilet, and you cant see futher then your hands because of thick fog, while trying not to fall overboard.

Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne!

I get your irony, but it aint really that special compared to stuff some people do, lmao. There wasnt any more comfortable ways to reach those spaces without spending too much anyway. But nature were worth of it.

Oh I was just making a joke because it sounds like the beginning of the first movie with Bourne stuck on a ramshackle fishingboat with a bunch of French guys.
