European Ship Simulator vs Ship Simulator Extremes

European Ship Simulator lets you captain a wide variety of vessels across six of Europe’s busiest ports, including Calais, Dover, Rostock, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Gibraltar. Sail passenger ferries, tugboats, bulk carriers, fishing boats, ocean cruisers, LNG tankers, cargo containers, or speed boats on diverse missions with a realistic ocean and highly detailed harbors. The game offers a single‑player experience with plans for future expansions and downloadable content, bringing new ships, ports, and missions to keep the sailing experience fresh and immersive.

Ship Simulator Extremes lets you command a wide range of vessels—from lifeboats to massive cruise ships—across stunning, open-world locations like Antarctica and Bora Bora. Experience both free‑roaming exploration and structured campaign missions, including Greenpeace operations and industrial deliveries through stormy seas.
