P&O Cruises | Hellesylt, Norway | Mount Dalsnibba | P&O Iona | Norwegian Fjords | Day 5 | Full Vlog
Welcome aboard everyone, it’s Stick Man Steve, and today, I'm taking you through an epic journey in Hellesylt, Norway, on the breathtaking P&O Cruises Norwegian Fjords! 🌍
Today’s adventure starts off from Deck 12, Cabin 12.4065, where I talk you through our exciting plans for the day: a P&O excursion called Mount Dalsnibba by Transfer Cruise-which we booked before the cruise for £98.10 each. After grabbing a quick coffee at Vistas Cafe Bar on Deck 6 ☕ and a hearty breakfast at The Quays on Deck 8, we set off on our adventure to explore one of Norway’s most beautiful landscapes.
Our first stop? A scenic boat ride from Hellesylt to Geiranger, passing the world-famous Seven Sisters Waterfall 💦. The ride lasted about 45 minutes to an hour, and although the weather wasn’t great (hello rain and wind! 🌧️), the views were absolutely spectacular! This fjord is like something out of a fairytale - majestic mountains, cascading waterfalls, and that dramatic Norwegian sky.
Once we reached Geiranger, we jumped onto a coach, just a short walk from the port. The first stop was the Flydal Gorge Viewpoint, where we got a glimpse of the famous Geiranger Fjord. Although the weather was pretty rough, with rain and clouds rolling in, the views were still jaw-dropping! 🌄 We spent about 20 minutes here before heading further uphill towards the star of today’s show: Mount Dalsnibba 🏔️.
But it wasn’t just a straight shot to the top - we made our way through scenic hairpin bends, passing by Lake Djupvatn, a gorgeous deep-blue lake nestled between the mountains. The bad weather didn’t let up, but that didn't stop me from filming as much as possible. Finally, we arrived at Mount Dalsnibba, standing at a massive 1,460 metres above sea level. Unfortunately, we only had 25 minutes to explore due to delays, and the weather was less than ideal, with heavy clouds and winds that limited our view 😕.
Even with the weather, the feeling of being on top of Mount Dalsnibba, overlooking the magnificent fjords, was still a once-in-a-lifetime experience. After a quick stop at the souvenir shop for some delicious fresh pastries (warm by the fireplace 🔥), we had to make our way back down. The coach took us back to Geiranger, but the return boat to Hellesylt was delayed by more than an hour-a bit of a disappointment, but hey, that’s travel, right? ⛴️
While we waited for the boat, we had a look around one of the local souvenir shops and filmed a bit of the beautiful Geiranger port area. When we finally got back on the boat, we retraced our journey, once again passing the incredible Seven Sisters Waterfall. It was still just as mesmerising as before, even in the dreary weather! 🌧️💦
Once back at Hellesylt, we had a 15-minute walk back to the P&O Iona, where we quickly freshened up before our next adventure: a fantastic dinner at the Keel & Cow, one of the ship's specialty restaurants. I’ve got to say, their food is top-notch,. 🍔🍺 After filling up on amazing food, we headed to The Club House to catch the England vs Netherlands game in the Euro 2024 semi-final. England won (yes!) and it was a great end to a long, adventurous day!
Although we had some delays and rough weather, the experience of seeing Mount Dalsnibba and the Norwegian Fjords was unforgettable. And hey, that’s what travel is all about - the highs and the unexpected challenges! 🌄✨
If you love scenic views, adrenaline-filled drives up steep mountains, and experiencing some of Norway’s most iconic landmarks, then this vlog is for you!

We enjoyed the experience, this was this first time we have dressed up posh as a couple for 14 years, it’s not for everyone. There was lots of people places you could still drink and eat if you wanted a more casual affair. That’s why i love cruising. Thank you for watching my vlogs 👍😀🛳️

      Hi Kathryn, thank you for your support and watching all my vlogs. It really does mean a lot. I know what you mean about the fish bowl effect, it’s not great, I was and still learning. On the P&O Cruises vlogs I’ve not used this effect. This effect comes from using my Insta 360x3 camera and I now only use that camera when on excursions. But when I do use it I’m altering the camera views so this should not happen anymore. On the two vlogs for P&O Cruises that have gone up there is no fish bowl effect used which is much better. Great feedback and you are 100% corrrct. 👍😀🛳️

      Thank you very much, it’s good to know, I’m improving my vlogs and learning each one I put up on UA-cam. My partner suffers badly with sea sickness, one of the reasons it’s taken me 12 years to convince her. She went on her first one last last and loved it, and the biggest thing she never suffered any sea sickness! She wears sea bands if she does, also takes ginger tablets 4 weeks before the cruise and during the cruise, maximum strength ones, we also take ginger tea bags with us and we both have one in the cabin every morning. Anything ginger, ginger biscuits, ginger beer also helps. Green apples is also a good one. It’s amazing the difference it makes for her, even on rough days she is fine know, gone are the days where she would be feeling really sick on a boat or ship now, it’s incredible. Hope you have a fantastic cruise in 2026 and thank you for all your support, have a great day. 👍😀🛳️

      Hi, thank you for you comment, so sorry it taken me time to get back to you with an answer 😀, the experience was fantastic. The walk around the cave is quite a long time, about 1 hour, it might even be almost two hours. You can take your time and go at your own pace or walk round quickly. You get a lot of time. You can walk around on your own, that’s what we did, then after the cave we went for a meal. You enter the cave as a group but once you are in the cave you can do your own thing. It is huge, it’s hard to put into words the shear size of the caves. It’s well worth doing. Hope you have a wonderful time l. 🛳️😀👍
