I Cruised Through The World’s Deepest Canal
205,969
Published 2023-09-22
This is the Corinth Canal, it’s a man-made waterway and the deepest canal in the world. I’ve just disembarked a cruise where our captain had to hand over control of the 37 million-dollar ship that I was on to a local tug boat pilot who would try to pull us through. To make things even more stressful, the Canal had been closed before this for almost two years following a landslide, it had just reopened.
Thanks to the lovely people who let me use some of their footage in this video:

I had so many questions going into this, how did PEOPLE make this, why did they bother and perhaps most importantly would our ship be okay.
It was early in the morning when we approached the entrance to the canal. I’m not normally a morning person but I did not want to miss this. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience and most of the guests were up on the top deck. We were all so excited to be able to stand outside on the ship as we went through the Canal. I wondered if the walls would be so close that I would be able to touch them and I enjoyed one of the mimosas that was being handed out.
The captain told us that it was too windy for the drones that were planned to film our cruise through the canal. I hoped that the wind wouldn’t cause us any problems, you definitely don’t want this ship to be blown into the side.

Hi! If you successfully see this video can you please let me know? I’ve tried to publish with ship WiFi but doesn’t seem like anybody has watched it yet, from my end anyway! 😂❤️👌🏼 Hellooooo anybody here, echo, echo! 🤣🤣

Ship claustrophobia to the max. Safe to say, no super cruise ships like the Primo could make it through. Hoisting ships over ground over rocks sounds like a technique that the Vikings mastered.
-
Incredible video,that’s what separates you from other YouTuber’s,different ships and destinations.I always look forward to seeing your next videos.
-
Many years ago, I went thru the Corinth canal with Festival cruises' The Azur. That ship was a lot bigger than the ship in this video but it still did fit in the canal.
-
I drove over this canal twice this year driving from Athens to the Peloponnese. Beautiful scenery.
-
😮 I'm amazed at how the boat can do that. Quite narrow really the Corinth Canal, an all time historical spot! Unique!
-
I went through here many years ago on smaller cruise ship than we have these days. It is spectacular!!!
-
I remember standing on the road bridge over the canal as a child, after quite a moderate road trip from the Netherlands and I thought the canal was impressive.
-
I never heard about the Corinth Canal before 😮 It is amazing to see this and looks awesome to travel through. Thank you @EmmaCruises for sharing this video. 😊
-
This is a wonderful post😊
-
Amazing to see, mentioned before I missed us going thru it on a less glamorous warship in 1988 as I had just finished a night shift & needed some sleep b4 we docked in Athens to go out! We did get a good photo though! Keep up your excellent work.
-
I'm most impressed by all the candles on board.
-
In 2010 I did a bungee jump from that bridge, this brings back some great memories.
-
Oh, I've seen that canal when I visited Greece. Pretty awesome.
-
I would love to go through this canal one day. It is so beautiful, evocative. In its own way, as dazzling as The Panama Canal. Thank you for the video!
-
Thank you for sharing. Cruises stopping in Athens usually offer a tour to Corinth canal. Looks more exciting to traverse through, than just seeing from bridge.
-
Here, in the States, a “Spanner” is a tool used to tighten/loosen couplings on firehoses.
-
Thanks for all the informative content you provide.
-
Emma I am history buff so I was quite surprised that this canal actually exists.
