Ship is a television series created by the Russian company Yellow, Black and White. The first season premiered on January 13, 2014, the second on March 23, 2015. Having become the Russian version of the Spanish series “Ark”, both “Ship” seasons were a great success among audiences of different ages. Most likely, fans can expect the third season in the winter and spring of 2016.
Plot
What did 20 young cadets expect when embarking on a two-month study trip on a large training vessel, Running on Waves? In their view - this is romance, relaxation, the sea, the sun, intertwined with various activities. What could be better? Climbing onto a sailboat, the guys were ready to have fun, but their expectations were not destined to come true.
As a result of a powerful explosion of the Hadron Collider, a global catastrophe occurred - all the continents of the Earth went under water. At first, the crew could not and did not want to believe in the apocalypse, that their relatives and friends had died. In the end, what happened must be accepted, no matter how difficult, and live (or survive?) Further ...

Viewers reviews
I would like to say right away that the series “The Ship” contains a lot of various errors and shortcomings. Actors with their talent for most viewers were able to overshadow all the blunders of the directors. Entanglement in all storylines does not allow us to suggest how events will develop further, and does not allow us to get bored while watching.
Most viewers agreed that the actors of the “Ship” were selected perfectly. Alexander Pugachev stands out with stuttering of his hero. You can even say that this is one of the most difficult roles in this series.
I would like to mention Ilya Lyubimov. His hero was at first a loving husband and a happy father. After he lost his whole family, life turned upside down: Herman becomes a killer because of blackmail, who hates himself in his heart.
The series can not be imagined without the headman Rakita. He is strict, but kind. His incomparable and unique phrases such as “smack you jellyfish”, “scaling you for breakfast” and “wrap you octopus” give each episode a discharge, because in each episode we observe that invasion of ravens, then waterfalls in the middle of the ocean ...
Curious facts
Filming of the second season took place near the island of Corfu, the first - on the island of Kos. The actors of the Ship and part of the crew lived in the cabins of a sailing ship. Thanks to this, the artists were able to completely immerse themselves in the creative process.
In the 39th series of the second season, Nadezhda Solomatina marries her fiance Valery. This episode was shot in the estate near Moscow "Kuskovo", which belongs to Count Sheremetyev.
The ghost ship that the crew meets in the ocean was the same Running on Waves ship, only aged and seemingly unsuitable for life.
The actors of the “Ship” were often replaced by stuntmen, but among them was the daredevil Roman Kurtsyn, who himself performed all the dangerous stunts. Once he even broke his rib. He also engaged in the production of fights and other dangerous moments.
