No easy task awaits hotel manager Hanna Liebhold (Barbara Wussow, 62) and especially Dr. Jessica Delgado (Collien Ulmen-Fernandes, 42). In addition to cruise director Oskar Schifferle (Harald Schmidt, 66), there is another hypochondriac on board, Jens Kessler (Ingolf Lück, 65).
Both large parts of the crew and the fans of the TV series already know the latter from this year’s Easter episode “The Dream Ship: Vancouver” (April 2023). The scenes in which Schifferle and Kessler engage in a bitter battle for the ship’s doctor’s attention are among the comedic highlights of this episode.
Moderator Kai Pflaume (56), who also made it into the latest “Dream Ship” episode, is also entertaining. Hardly visible at first, as Highway Patrol Sheriff Steve McCrown he causes more uncertainty than security…
Wolfgang Fierek (73) is also very appropriately cast as Stefan Fieringer, with whom staff captain Martin Grimm (Daniel Morgenroth, 59) and cruise ship captain Max Parger (Florian Silbereisen, 42) explore the US state of Utah on a motorcycle tour. You can also book “USA Harley tours” with the Ottobrunn actor in real life, as can be read on his homepage. Next year he is planning the two trips “Santa Fe Trail” and “Western Diamond Tour”.
Speaking of being in the middle of the USA, the landlocked US state of Utah that gives the title to “Dream Ship” is not actually located on a navigable coast. In response to a passenger’s comment at the beginning of the film – “I’m curious to see how we get to Utah on this thing [cruise ship, ed.]” – the hotel manager kindly explains: “We’re starting from Los Angeles and then “Let’s fly on to Utah.”
