We did a cruise to the Fjords on the Disney Magic last year with our good friends Emma and Jon. It was the absolute best! We have really been enjoying watching this cruise series, it’s brought back so many great memories for us!

A Disney cruise would be something we’d love to do. Gotta save our pennies. They looks so magical. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x

Oh my, your dinner looked amazing! and I love that you can order breakfast to your room, so worth the £2.50 when you’re up and out early. All the entertainment is top notch, loved the Take That musical, I saw it a couple of times on the last UK tour. You have been so lucky with the weather ❤ Thank you for sharing!

The breakfast in your room was lovely, I love that that is an option especially for the days you’re up early for excursions. We recently went to see the greatest days film after seeing the musical onboard. It’s a really great musical! Xx

I was on this cruise! Fell down and injured my ankle on the way down from the glacier 😂 but would 100% do it again, so gorgeous!

I went on the Iona a week before you guys! It was the most incredible holiday❤ We went kayaking in olden and our tour guide said that the creators of frozen spent months in olden studying the glacier & mountains. What I loved was this interesting fact - there was an arranged marriage on top of one of the mountains and the bride decided against it & left her crown on top of the mountain. And that’s what elsa’s crown is based on☺️I hope you’ve had a fabulous holiday! Xxx

Omg I love that fact! It literally felt like you had stepped into the set of Frozen, it was so cool! Kayaking is high on our bucket list if we ever do the cruise again, it looked like so much fun. Glad you had such a great time too , we miss it so much! Xxx

Did I hear Europa Park mentioned? I would love to see you guys do a vlog series from there and don't forget to visit the water park Rulantica next door. Loving the cruise series, shame it's nearly finished.

It was incredible to see, I found this on their website “When the glacier melts, it swells many waterfalls so they thunder and cascade down the mountainsides in Briksdalen valley.” Thank you for watching 😊 x

Such amazing landscapes in Norway. Seeing the Glacier was special. We came home and saw the movie, enjoyed it 😊 need to just see the full theatre musical now. Thank you for watching. X

Went to Briksdal Glacier from Olden whilst on a cruise on Britannia about 8 years ago (when she was brand new). We got the local bus (which stopped on the road that passes the port area) to the glacier for about 5 EUR each way IIRC (a lot cheaper than the P&O tour that did the same thing). I loved the sail in and out of the fjord (which was all in daylight as it was June when we went and it didn't really get dark). Not done Iona or Arvia yet (wife isn't keen on the really big ships, I want to try it!) but will be on Britannia again in November in the Caribbean. Have enjoyed your vlogs, thanks!

That’s a cool tip in terms of the local bus. A good alternative. It was a big ship but it didn’t feel too big if that makes sense. 😂 we really enjoyed it and would recommend. Thank you for watching x

Highly entertaining video. If you like the Norwegian fjords, I highly recommend taking a cruise with Havila Voyages. They sail the old postal route from Bergen to Kirkenes and back. It's a 12 day cruise, but not a luxurious as P&O though. But you get to go beyond the Polar Circle and visit the North Cape. And if you travel between October and March, you gave a chance to see the Northern Light. And a RIB boat tour is so much fun. Recently, I took one on the Geiranger fjord and it was magical. The fjord is an UNESCO world heritage site and a must see for your next visit to Norway. And as for city trip itineraries: Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim are among my favorite Norwegian cities. Have a safe trip back home!

Thank you so much for all of this info. Great to get recommendations for possible future trips. We appreciate you taking the time to write it. We’d love to do a RIB boat tour, they look like so much fun. I feel like I went to Geiranger when I worked on ships. That name definitely rings a bell. Thank you for watching x
