  • Norwegian Fjords Cruise onboard P&O Iona. We couldn’t resist a last minute bucket list cruise to Norway and we hope you can’t resist coming along on this adventure with us.
    We set off from Southampton Cruise Terminal and after a day at sea we arrive at Stavanger in the beautiful sunshine. We have a lovely day exploring on scooter and by foot. The following day we are in Olden but unfortunately even though we got up very early we didn’t see the sunrise and it was very cold but once in port we were off and made our way to the Loen Skylift for some fun in the snow.
    This is part one of our adventure so join us next week for part 2 when we visit Alesund and HAUGESUND.

    Love the video! Looks like you had a great time. We have been in Stavanger in may 2016 and the streets were full of local people for a local festifitie. All in traditional costumes, singing and dancing on music of fanfares, lots of school children of all ages. It was a happy day. The skylift looked amazing! All that snow made it even better, more of an adventure. I don't think i would have the courage to do it. The walk you took was long (in my opinion😁) but seemed to be with amazing views. We love the fjords and have to wait 102 days before we go back in august. Looking forward to see the next part of this bucket list adventure.

      Hi Trees, we had a fab time 🤩 Can't believe two weeks have gone by already!! I bet seeing that in Stavanger must have been a fabulous sight! It was a very nice place and we met a local in a cafe and she was so lovely and told us about the Colourful Street and even took us there so we didn't miss seeing it ☺️ Olden was completely different and I had my doubts about doing the Skylift as I knew there wouldn't be a view but it was amazing to see all that snow ❄️ You have to do it as you may have a clear day and the views would be AMAZING 🤩 It was a nice walk back but appreciate it wouldn't work for everyone 😊 102 days will fly by honestly! 18 days til our next one - so excited 😆 Thank you for watching, have a great week - Amanda & Mark 😍

      Hi Lois 👋🏻 That sounds amazing 🤩 We're on our first cruise with Princess in June as well going to Finland, Sweden etc as well but only to Kristiansand in Norway 🇳🇴 We're very excited as it's a big birthday cruise that we booked over a year ago!! You'll have a fabulous time, we've heard good things about Princess, especially the food 😋 Going to see the glacier will make your long flight worth it and hopefully you'll have a clear day for the Skylift as well!! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment - Amanda & Mark 😍

      Hi Sam, thank you so much ☺️ It's such a fabulous destination! Are you going to those two ports? We've spent three weeks on Iona this year 😂 and she has a lot to do and some lovely restaurants! Is this your first cruise, first time to Norway? Thank you for watching, we're working on the next one now 😉 Amanda & Mark 😍

      Good morning Margaret 👋🏻 That's fabulous! We did our very first cruise together on 2015 but it was on the Adriatic Sea and we loved it - Mark was hooked 😂 Have you done lots of cruises and do you have a favourite cruise line? Thank you for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

    Nice video guys. Both port stops looked great. Stavanger looked so bright and vibrant and then snow. Debs not sure about the cable cars though 😂

      @AdventureswithAmandaandMark  Місяць тому

      Thank you 🤩 They were so different weren’t they?! Stavanger was quite a big town and we had such a beautiful day and then Olden was so small and quiet and a totally different day weather wise! Didn’t realise Deb’s wasn’t keen on cable cars 😂 We love them but we missed filming the return journey as there was quite a drop!! Thank you as always for you support 🥰

    So enjoy watching your vlogs. Just wish they were longer...lol. You two are such fun. Norway is on our bucket list but we're doing the Med next year. Look forward to the next instalment x

      Hi Kevin, thank you so much you made our day 😍 It’s surprising how quickly 30 minutes fly by!! We’ve always tried to keep them to around 20 minutes but sometimes thats just not enough - we feel like we’re leaving so much out so thank you for saying that! How fabulous, where are you going in the Med and is that with P&O? We are doing the med in November with MSC (it’s a family cruise so watch out lol!!). Thank you so much for your support - Amanda & Mark 😍

      @@AdventureswithAmandaandMark You're so welcome. I wouldn't worry about longer vlogs. People can always watch them bit by bit. I see some vloggers make it an hour long and I love it. Yes, We'll be on P&O's Arvia next May. La Coruna, Palma, La Spezia, Toulon, Barcelona and Cadiz. Can't wait. I'd like to try MSC one day x

      Awhh you guys, thank you so much for saying that, it really means a lot ☺️ We had somebody message and say they were unsubscribing because there was too much floating hotels now 😞 This was a bit of naughty one, as we should really have gone away in Millie but we couldn’t resist!
