The director giving the tour’s enthusiasm is infectious, which explains his own success within a company as successful as Princess. If I’m ever lucky or successful enough to be in the market for an 80 odd footer, I’m ringing him

The amount of knowledge this man has is incredible!

Princess looks like a company you would be proud to work for.

The one stand-out point there is the idea that they want nothing rattling, even after years of use. So long after the boat is sold and Princess have already pocketed their money, they still want to ensure that the (second, third, fourth) owner has no issues with any carpentry. That is truly above and beyond.

And I thought my IKEA wardrobe was complicated.

I’m blown away. As a retired accountant, I could see a fleet of accountants, bookkeepers, tax accountants, cost accountants, IT professionals, all working behind the scenes to keep the business afloat. The overheads associated with boatbuilding are just enormous. Project managers, sales people, office staff, marketing staff, legal staff, the usual HR types, naval architects, designers, engineers, auditors, the list goes on. Load all these on top of the people actually doing the building, and you have one expensive boat. Don’t forget the executives and board members. They also add to the cost of a yacht. So do the sales commissions. 2,700 staff? Holy Moley!

This is why AQUAHOLIC is at the forefront of boating videos. Well done Nick.

Blown away by the size and scale and quality of each and every process, and that goes into a Princess yacht.

Screwed, glued with tongue & groove. Nothings going to move or, importantly squeek! - What an impressive quality organisation and the staff are so knowledgeable.

Nick,

When all four have aired can you re-release the entire series as a continuous long form “movie”?  I’d literally rewatch the whole thing.  The best brand shown by the best boat tuber.   Incredible work

What’s really amazed me was the mass production woven into one person spending over a week building one cabinet..  

Fantastic insight into how they’re made

The logistics… getting the right pieces built, prepped, all in the right place and at the right time… magicians!! Such a great tour!

Very impressed with the Director of Princess leading the tour and spending his time with you.  His appreciation of his workers' talents say so much about his company.

I’ve been working for 30 years, and I don’t imagine what I’ve achieved in those 30 years matches what these people achieve in one hour. The logistics and organisation here is mind boggling.

This factory tour will gain them new orders,that's for sure,win/win for both of you!

The ship has tons of furniture components, and this man grabs a bended piece and recognizes that instantly as “the edge of the table”. 16:00 And until then I just realized that, oh, the table really has an edge. This dude is really qualified for his job!

The wood shop workers are the unsung hero's of the industry!

By far your best series, Theres not really many videos showing this.  And its a great advertisement for Princess.

Incredible amount of work going on. You just take everything for granted when your touring a yacht. Now I will look at them in a different light. Thank you for showing us around behind the scenes Nick. Look forward to part 3

Impressive and fascinating. Thank you to Princess for this tour. Looking forward to the next installment :)
