This video is part of a sponsored series with Princess Cruises.
Adam Savage has been to many a dry dock, but he’d never witnessed one fill with water … until this year. Join Adam as he witnesses the Sun Princess float for the very first time, then get moved SLOWLY to its new location on the water so construction can be completed. It’s a nerve-wracking and precise process, and Adam is THRILLED to be part of it!

A much better video than I thought it could be.
⛵
It's quite amazing that something so large can be built in a little less than a year. I understand there is a lot of finishing to do, but the superstructure and many critical systems are all in place.
Perfect video to watch in the bath….. until the doorbell started ringing repeatedly….. only to discover the DOORBELL is IN the video music 7:40. Grrrrrrr
Thankyou for sharing this with us. It has been a long time since a video has really made me feel that child like joy and wonder that first informed me that inside the monkey brain was a nucleic engineer…. This one did, I have lived on the coast my whole life in very real proximity to a dock that ranges from Germanic naval precision to Monaco-esque scenes at night. I have seen first hand “ship-shipping ships” and the massive platforms that are towed out to install wind farms and despite my first love being vehicle mechanics, none of those prior sights has ever desensitised me to the majesty and wonder of scale defying sea vessels.
So again, to all at tested, for making me truly feel, thankyou.
An amazing piece of work – thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
So cool to see, Thanks for taking us on this Journey Adam! Hope I can make it to the Themed Cruise!
way underdelivered on the water touching the ship for the first time…..
A windless day with the ship floating in drydock, no currents would be a good time to see how long it would take one person to move this ship by pushing it
I stayed in Monfalcone for 3 weeks opening MSC Seascape (as seen on the block!), was a great experience seeing all the other ships being built in their various stage too
Crazy that those two raggy ropes pulled that thing out
I think of all the times I've seen shipyards in scifi and fantasy but never in real life. I don't if it's just because Adam's excitement is infectious, but this has been a wonderful series
She floats!
If they dont use giant robot legs, I'm not interested.
You need to print up official t-shirts with "Tugging is now happening"
Good point about the momentum. As we say, nothing happens quite as fast as a collision at half a knot.
If this works, why did they ever do this the violent way, wherein they just dropped a new ship into the water? I do suppose that we've all seen some jarring footage of that. Also, brand new 'Mythbusters' channel on Youtube! I had it in the recommended sidebar yesterday — get over there mythbusting Tested audience! Some full episodes from season five so far.
Yep, people sometimes complain about the water is coming in too slow and to speed it up, but it has a lot of mass and gives you time to check for other issues
They had Adam with the case for the pieces of history
I don't understand why cruise ships even are a thing. They serve no real purpose, they are a environmental disaster, and just consider how much pollution it creates just to make these things.
What can a cruise ship do, that any other holiday or transportation to a holiday destination can't do? Should just be a complete BAN on these cruise ships.
Worked in a lot of those ship yards! We used to call the workers Tin Can Fairies.
On water, Once you get several thousand tons moving it’s very difficult to stop. Keep in mind, and this goes for every vessel no matter the size, the slower your going the more you can handle the navigation. It’s why boats going fast typically crash. In open water the more distance between vessels the safer it’ll be. For large ships anything closer than a mile is too close
it just always feels like it should tip over. So high and so little hight of it is in the water.
We love this video! Thanks for sharing such a unique behind-the-scenes look at #SunPrincess. We can't wait for 2024! ☀
how much time has passed since you showed the bones of the bridge? Is the bridge complete? I guess they could float it as soon as the hull is done to free up the dry dock… not waiting for any internal facilities.
They are very impressive. Mind boggling impressive.
Mr.Adam savage i am confused, you see my dad worked on the sun princess too so is this vid when it was first being made and then only been uploaded recently or was this a drydock vid to do some repairs on the ship??
I kind of wanted to see them just push it off a ramp into the water haha I wanted a big splash!
Funny how Adam took his old ass hardhat with him. Im surprised they let him on site with that thing lol
Amazing. I used to summer in Collingwood Ontario Canada and in the 1970s and 1980s they still built ships, and it was such a thrill to see them launched.
Spectacular maybe, but going on a cruise is the most polluting way to go on holiday. Sorry.
So exciting! We're going to sail on it next summer in the Mediterranean and we can't wait.
Those ships should be banned.
2:20 This confirms that they are Italians.
I would love to see how they painted that thing.
I was hoping it would be one of those that gets dropped sideways into the water… Those are scary-dramatic!
