- Welcome back to my cruise vlogs, in this series we are going to Norway to the beautiful Norwegian fjords, a real bucket list destination for us.
Today we are embarking Iona, from Southampton docks, so I am going to show you everything you need to know when it comes to embarkation day; from where to park to how to check in. Then on to a cabin tour of our conservatory mini suite with balcony and then showing you around Iona and all that she has on offer.
Our first day is a sea day so I’ll be showing everything on on board Iona to keep you busy and ending with the iconic P&O Cruises celebration evening.

Hi. You are the perfect host to show us round the cruise ship. How exciting for you all. You look glowing & your sparkling evening dress was stunning on you, in fact you was all glammed up. Looking forward to your next cruise video.💐☕👍
Thank you so much! That is such a kind comment, I really appreciate it! I absolutely loved making these videos and I am so pleased they're enjoyable and hopefully helpful! I found my dress on Vinted! It was something crazy like £395 online! I got it for £60! x
I will definitely add a cruise to my bucket list after watching ur cruise vloggs. Fab, detailed video xxxx
Such a fabulous vlog! Cruising really does look like so much fun. Thank you so much for sharing and being such a fab guide ❤ You looked so stunning in your sparkly dress! Off to watch the other two instalments of this now. Have an amazing day xxxx
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate your comment and I’m so pleased it was helpful! We had a brilliant time, I. Glad h could show you around! Enjoy the next 2 videos xx
Wow lara it looks absolutely amazing! Great video to see what it is actually like for people who are new to cruising! X
Thank you so much! I really hope this perspective helps people to get to know what they need to do and to get excited for it too! Xx
Gained a subscriber your vlogs are so much more informative than others on the cruise! Thank you your family are lovely and I love your vlog style. ❤❤❤
Wow, thanks so much! 😊 So pleased you enjoyed it and found it helpful! I have tonnes more travel vlogs here on this channel if you are interested in watching more. thanks for being here xx
What an excellent video, I LOVED it and can't wait for the next one! I have been with a wheelchair user on P&O and I would advise if you are a wheelchair user who cannot walk at all, then it is best to book an accessible cabin. That means you will get a "wet room" rather than a shower that you need to step in and out of and also there will be a ramp to the balcony if needed etc. P&O are great with this if you call them. The accessible cabins are marked on the deck plans so you can see where they are.
Hi Sue, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your insight as well, it's really helpful for people to hear first hand experiences and great that you've had such an amazing experience with P&O Cruises :) Next video coming soon xx
Amazing vlog Lara we are going in our first cruise on Saturday to Norwegian fjords on Iona for our silver wedding anniversary xx so excited x
Really loved seeing you all enjoying yourselves so much, the only cruise I've ever been on was with school, it was far from luxurious but we had an amazing time 😊 Loved seeing round this beautiful Iona xx
Ah, thank you so much Mandy! I am really glad you enjoyed it, Iona was beautiful! Wow, a cruise with school is pretty cool though! Thank you for watching xx
I’ve been looking forward to your Norway vlogs. We’re booked on Iona for next May to Norway 🇳🇴 💕
Ahh, I hope you enjoy them and they are helpful for you to know what's ahead! I hope you have a brilliant time when you set sail, you may get snow in May in Olden! x
Wow looks amazing so want to go. Looking forward to part 2
It’s literally just gone live 🫶🏻💗
Hi Lara, love the videos, we went to Norway on lona last year and enjoyed it so much that we have booked to do the Christmas markets in Northern Europe on lona this December. Such a lovely ship, l understand that the coloured artwork is blue at the front of the ship to represent the horizon and sea views, grey in the middle represents the moon and red at the back represents the sunset. Look forward to seeing more travel vlogs.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. Definitely on my bucket list. That little conservatory joined on to the room is perfect if you have a husband that snores (like mine 😆)X
Haha, yes that is very true! It was lovely to have as a family too as we had additional space in the evening when the children slept. I hope you get to visit one day xxx
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m going on Saturday 😊
Oh how exciting for you! I hope it helped showing what to expect and how to embark etc :) Have a brilliant time xx
We’re going on Saturday too, it’s My 60 th Birthday on Monday 😁

Thanks so much 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, part 2 is now live too! Thank you for watching xx
Looks lovely, can you do a video explaining the dress code in more detail and also the additional add on costs for food, drink & activities xx
Beautiful video Lara x
Thank you so much, Johanna! 🫶🏻
Hi Lara, great vlog, i have booked this cruise for April next year (2025) for my 60th. it will be our first cruise. Can't wait. I'm finding your vlogs very helpful.
Oh you will have such an amazing time! Very pleased for you. I believe in April it will be pretty snowy up in Olden, so wrap up! Beautiful to see it covered in snow though. I'm so pleased you've found the vlogs helpful in planning your trip, have the best time xx
Subscribed! Love your energy, Lara - and now looking forward to my Iona fjords cruise this June even more.
My only real concern is the level of background noise in the restaurants. It’s something I struggle with. Are they as noisy as they sound?
Just looks Devine!
Ah it really was! Watching it back to edit just made me so happy thinking of all the memories mad xx
Made! X
Thanks for the great vid. Quick question, regarding CPS/Azure parking near the terminal is it self park or valet?
We’re on our way to Lisbon and Spain in two weeks time on the Iona 😊 thanks for the info! ❤️
Oh amazing! So excited for you, I would love to do this cruise! xx
Fantastic Vlog! So useful as we are going next August! Would love to see more of what's on offer for the kids and menus! Can I please ask for the beach house is the £9.50 supplement for the whole week or each time you eat at that restaurant? and the basketballs and football for the court are they already there for the kids to use? Also on the celebration night do you have to dress up? My kids are very casual! :) Thanks so much and found this so useful! x
I didn’t realise I was sat right next to you on deck 16 by the pool! That’s my junk in the background lol
Ahhh, that's so funny!! It was so so nice just taking it all in sat there! xx
Looks fantastic.i would really love to do one but would love more time of the ship. I cant keep up with all the holidays yous have been going on, what a life. Have a blast
Why did i think this was a promotion trip.😮. Then you said it was on your bucket list. Sorry i got that wrong
You all must love cruise 😊
It is a work trip for Lara but Norway is one of the places she wanted to see X
We really loved our time on board, there’s just so much to do on board!
Yes, we’ve wanted to do this trip & we were actually all set to book this for our family holiday but then I was lucky enough to be asked to work with p&o cruises so it was like a gift from the universe to be able to do it!
To travel is such a privilege that I feel blessed to do and to show our boys the world too. Thank you for watching xx
I'm going on this cruise in April. Please could anyone tell me if you have to book each restaurant before you go? Or do you sort it all when you're on board? There's so much to think about. Never done it before. Any info appreciated. I've already booked a drinks package (which was expensive!) That's all I've pre booked. Thanks 🙏🏼
Does every cabin get the free canapes on celebration night and the bowl of fruit?
Thank you so much for this content. I just cruised with MSC, it was lovely. I must say you are so beautiful, you have a clean soul and lovely lips. I will book for Iona sailing from Southampton. Thank you so much.
Did your boys go to separate kids clubs or the same one?
Ooo lovely! Are there many options for coeliacs for food? Xx
I didn't directly ask about this, but I know they were amazing with my food intolerances and very helpful to get me food that was suitable so I am sure they will be the same with this xx
@LaraJoannaJarvis brilliant thanks Lara xx
Is that a gift in the fridge or will u be charged if u use it
Gift x
of on the iona on the 7th october for two weeks
Oh how exciting!! Have a brilliant time x
Just booked Norway on Iona. We can’t wait!!!!
Ahhh, amazing! When are you going?
Looks fab, butt very noisy?
Thank you! It really was amazing. Ooh, I didn't notice the noise - is there a particular part you mean? x
Out of interest were there many children on this cruise?
Yes, there were on this one, as it was summer holidays dates. There's so much to do for children which is great for families. x
