Ocean Liners, on the other hand, are passenger ships that are designed to regularly undertake a line voyage, sailing between point A and Point B across an expanse of open ocean. 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Vlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJP Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. -- 🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
