Take an unprecedented look inside the world’s grandest ships, and get a taste of the high stakes, high-risk life at sea.
The North Star is a roll-on/roll-off ship that delivers goods from Seattle to Anchorage within 72 hours.
Le Boreal is built to take on the demanding waters of the Southern Ocean.
The FPSO Maersk Peregrino is the world's biggest oil production ship and is permanently hooked up at the Peregrino oil field.
Umiak I is the world's most powerful ice-breaking carrier, hauling mining equipment from Quebec City to Labrador and returning with nickel concentrate.
The U.S. Navy's newest ship, a guided missile destroyer, goes through testing with its crew in preparation for deployment.
They tackle the world's toughest jobs, battle the most unforgiving waters, and employ the most dedicated crewmembers to sail the seven seas. These are the mightiest of the Mighty Ships, the best of the spectacular fleet of vessels we've celebrated for the past five seasons. Hop aboard and go behind the scenes as we revisit these state-of-the-art nautical marvels. We'll voyage above and below the surface, sailing each ocean, reaching port on every continent, to follow the heavyweight champions of dredging, fishing, hauling, partying, and patrolling.
