Loved the P&0 cruise to the Norwegian Fjords, stole my heart with the views 💜
Same here the views were amazing :)
Great video, lots of insightful info, and the trip itself wow, would love to do it too one day, that town where you took the heli ride looked insanely cool as did all the fjords and mountains, what an experience
You have to do it, you'd love the helicopter ride!! :)
Thanks for the great vlog. We are going in May on the Iona and can't wait to experience the fjords
This video was really helpful, thank you. Got the same/similar cruise booked on Iona June 2023 and can't wait! 😁👍
Glad it was helpful! Have a great time :)
Thank you for this! I’m off in July on my first cruise and I cannot wait!
Amazing! Have a great time :)
Thank you really loved the video. Just booked on my first ever cruise in April 2024. Even more excited 😃😃
That's fantastic Julie, have a great time :)
Thanks, a ton of useful info, superb presentation!
Thank you so much 🙂

Thanks Paul, have an amazing time! 😊
Great video, thank you. Travelling in 2023 and looking forward to it. There seems so much to do though that I may have to go back!
Great to hear, thanks for the comment Tim 😊
Brilliant video .I’m doing the trip in April ,even more excited now .
Thanks Neil!! Have a fantastic trip 🙂
We’re also going in April!
Just got off iona today, it was my first cruise and it was amazing 🥰 xx
That's great to hear! How amazing is Iona? :)
Great!! Weve just booked!! Thank you
Thank you for the video, very informative and well presented. we're off to Norway on Iona on the 30th, sadly some of the site experiences are all fully booked already, being our first cruise we didn’t know we had to take a decision so soon. delighted to see there's so many things to do!!
Looks like it might be a period with very shifting weather (which happens often on the west coast), so prepare rain jackets. Weather forecasts may change.
Thanks Alexandra, have a great cruise and I hope you get to go on some great shore experiences :)
Great video…straight to the point informative and very useful..I’m due on Iona at the end of August🚢😞
Brilliant feedback thank you Elizabeth, really please you found it useful 😊
thank you - interesting - we are doing this cruise in 3 days time. V excited now :)
I hope you had a lovely time 😊
We are going on our first cruise ever to this destination in July. Can’t wait. Thanks for the great video. Really helped.
Have a lovely time, I'm really pleased you found it helpful :)
How'd it go??
Great video and very informative and some great views. We are on Iona next Sept to the fjords and looking forward to it as we’ve not done a holiday like this before. We were on Azura in the Caribbean November 2018 and have booked Arica for Sept 2024 for the Med.
They all sounds amazing!! Have a great time, really glad you liked the video :)
Nice vid 👍 I’m off on the 30th and was wondering about the views from the ship as I may not get to leave the ship for the week, so this video showed that the views are going to be stunning.
Views from ship is good. You'll just get a better panorama view from viewpoints higher up.
I loved your video, it's so informative. We are off to Norway on Saturday on Iona. We can't wait.
Thanks Jackie! Have a great time, let me know how it goes :)
Hi how was ur trip? Looking at going in September
Came back 2 weeks ago lovely ship ,food , views stunning just awful weather but that's nature 💚
Ahhh that's a shame, I did get very lucky with the weather on my trip
Im on Iona on April 13. Excited!!😅😅
Have a great time!! :)
Great share Scot - can’t wait now sail on 1.6.24
I can tell you were on the week before us because you had the good weather. We did the Pulpit Rock hike where we didn't see anything, Loen Skylift and a tour of Ålesund when we couldn't port at Hellesylt or Haugesund.
Yeah we were so lucky with the weather, it can change so quickly in the Fjords sorry you didn't get to see as much 🙈
Thank u for the vlog😊
Excellent video.
Thank you 🙏
Considering your relative low subscription count, the production value & your presentation skills are topnotch. Great piece of content. #newsub
Wow, thank you for the compliment and sub 🙂
Great video, I'm looking to go on Iona to fjords next year for my honeymoon 🥰
Amazing Charlotte have a lovely time!! 😊
Thanks for your very well put together video which was informative. I've only sailed twice and both times were cunard. I wanted a balcony for the fjords and as a solo passenger it works out expensive on cunard. So I've booked this afternoon a deluxe balcony mid ship as I'm not great if too much movement for two years timeas got other things booked before then. I've read quite a few negative reviews but your video has reassured me.
Fantastic! Glad it was helpful and reassured you, have a lovely time 🙂
@@scottescapes hi, what is the journey like from Southampton to the first destination. Is it rough seas or quite calm
My husband, son and i are going on the Iona soon.I am really looking forward to going up and down the fjords again.Its been a few years since we cruised.
Amazing have a great time!! 🙂
Great video . We have been cruising the med and Canary Islands past 8 years , But due to my electric wheelchair being damaged twice when being loaded on or off the plane , we have decided to look at sailing from Southampton instead. Probably raking in a Fjord cruise.
Our only worries are how suitable are the ports/towns for wheelchair users. We gave no worries about being on ship in the chair , it’s just going ashore in new unknown ports.
Thank you! Fantastic option to sail from Southampton. I cannot speak for each port, but I know P&O Cruises will ensure you can get on/off OK, and let you know which shore experiences are suitable. But please have a chat with their customer service to be sure :)
We went end of April beginning of May 24 it was fantastic Norwegian fjords and the Iona, we had fantastic weather 21 degrees the captain joked and said it was snowing the week before 😂
Hi Scott, great video. Lots of cool adventures. We go on Saturday, can’t wait. The luxury yacht tour in your video could you please how did you book that one? Also the helicopter tour did you book that through P&O?
Cheers
Tim
Thanks Tim, sorry for the delayed reply! I hope you've had an amazing time. The heli tour was with P&O Cruises, but the yacht was booked privately on the ground in Norway 😊
Happy New Year..Norwegia.....
It was booked via the P&O Cruises Shore Experiences yes, but there isn't a link to share, you need to login to My P&O and from there you should be able to see it once booking it open. Have a great time :)
We going to Norway April 23 can’t wait
Have a great time :)
So are we!
This is incredible. I’ve just booked our first ever cruise to the Norwegian Fjords for next September. I can’t wait, I’m taking my two children who are equally as excited.
Do these excursions need to be booked in advance? If so, where?
Have an amazing time!! ☺️
I plan on taking this cruise the first week of September 24. Never been to Britain or Norway and looking at your videos I’m getting excited about it. 😀
Just one question though, I’m planning on taking my mum and she can’t climb those stairs and trails. You spoke of a cable car in one spot and a mini bus on another. Is this tour a somewhat limited mobility person friendly or would it be a mistake taking my mum with?
Hi Scott, great video, did you go on which month of the year?
Imaginary piano going 🎶🎵🎶🎵
My mum n dad are going on this exact same cruise in 2 weeks, I'm seeing the sights before them
Fantastic video, thank you. Where and how did you book the yacht tour in Stavanger? Looks amazing and that would be such a great thing to do. I hope you see this comment. Thank you
Thank you! I think there is a boat tour like this one available from the P&O Cruises tour desk :)
I’ve been on inao
Hi great video, did you book your excursion independently? I am going in June and would love to know the price you paid for some of the excursions you did.
Hi Scott, we are trying to pick the right itinerary and ship for a Norwegian Fjord cruise. Did you find Iona with 5000+ passengers hard to get on and off quickly, any tender ports, and how did the small towns handle so many visitors?
So it's worth paying for balcony rather than just sea view? I was worried it would be too cold but I do like the thought of sitting out with my coffee watching that beautiful landscape
My opinion is it's definitely worth it, for the fresh air and amazing views, but it does generally cost a fair bit more. It will depend what season you travel for how cold it is! :D
Thank you for your video! Me and my husband are thinking about taking this cruise. How is the sea there? Any seasickness?
None at all for me! Have a great time 😊
Hi Scott.
Where did you book the helicopter tour from please?
Would love to surprise the wife.
How do we book the experiences (like the yoga)? And how much was the yoga+ glacier excursion please? Thankss
Hi there, they are all booked via the P&O Cruises shore experiences page, and I can't remember the cost now sorryyyyy
Going on iona in may.oct 2025.arctic circle.🎉🎉
Have an amazing time! :)
Did you book the Helicopter tour with P&O? 😬 i feel like thats a MUST
Yes that's through the P&O Cruises shore experiences :)
What cruise number was this? Or what dates were they? I also went on Iona July 2022. Great video by the way!
Hi Chris, I went in June. I'm not sure of the cruise number but so happy to hear you like the video 🙂
@Scott Escapes ah I was on G222. Thanks and no problem. Always great to watch from different perspectives and views and what happened onboard.
I've booked this trip for 2024. I know in a bit early with the excursion but could you give me more info on the helicopter excursion? Was that booked within the cruise, do you have a link to it/price/limitations etc. I am going with my two children who will be 9 and 10 and I was wondering if we could all do it?
Hi Emmi! It was booked with the P&O Cruises shore experience team yes, there isn't a link available. Once they are open for booking the link will appear on My P&O, hope that helps if not perhaps customer services can send you more info. Have a great time :)
What are the restrictions on drones if any ?
❤
I’m hoping to do this next year. But I walk on crutches 🩼
I hope you get to do the cruise Jacqueline, I think P&O Cruises are great at accommodating things like that 😊
I’ve been on cruises where I’ve seen people in wheelchairs and Zimmer frames even seen people dragging oxygen bottles around I think you’ll be fine
@@spannaspinna thank you
Hi
How long were u actually on the helicopter flight?
The current one shows 13 mins flight times
Yes that sounds about right :)
Why do they change the itinerary?
Does Iona have a relief point for service dogs to do their business? Do all P&O ships have to have one?
Hi Anna, I don't know. Perhaps a question for their customer services :)
What about the northern lights, did you see them?
No as these cruises only run in summer, you'd need to do a winter Norway cruise :)
Nary a 'link in the description ' was to be found
How did you book the yoga?
It's a shore experience you'll have access to book them once you book the cruise on my P&O 🙂
Was it busy on board
My cruise wasn't and I found Iona to have loads of space, but numbers can vary depending on when you go 👍
@@scottescapes Thank you for replying.
I went from the 9th to the 16th july 2022 and it was a total waste of money. Calm weather but only stopped at 3 places (due to adverse weather??). It looked like a flock of seagulls at meal times in the horizon, and to top it all off I came home with covid. A family member who has been on loads of cruise holidays said "it was the worst cruise he had ever been on and from now on he will go with Royal Caribbean.
I was on the same cruise Tony. I feel like I saw more glacial valley going for a drive through Snowdonia. Poor food. Poor entertainment. Ship reminiscent of a car ferry. No day time activities for their obviously planned 4 days at sea. I had to go to the cinema 3 times to ease the boredom. Low availability of nice beers. Pinged for covid contact from the farcical disembarkation. Immediately booked a cruise with Royal Caribbean next year out of protest.
I mean iona
What did you think of it?
how much did this all cost?
It really depends when you book and what cabin you go for, take a look at the P&O Cruises website :)
I notice you don't answer when asked about the prices"
I just didn't notice your question :D
You wen’t to Olden the wrong time, bc now the water is turquoise
Olden is always stunning 😍
Why can’t the presenters say the month they cruised so viewers can see what the weather was like
Is that a killer whale at 4:30? 😮
Hahaha no definitely not 😃
any buffet food for Breakfast or lunch or dinner?
Yes all of them :)
Great video.
Thank you!! 😍
