In todays vlog we arrive in the stunning town of Olden, we wake to a beautiful blue sky and the sun shining as we sail down the Fjord to the town of Olden, we are a couple of hours away from arriving when we wake up. We head to Cabanas to get some breakfast where we sit outside and watch the scenery go by from the back of the ship.
When breakfast is done we head on the upper deck to find a seat, grab a hot chocolate and snacks and watch as we pull in to the port. We couldn't get over how stunning it was sailing through the fjords, the snow on the mountain tops and waterfalls. The water was so still and calm.
Once we had docked we head to our first excursion we had booked, this was located directly opposite the ship and booked through ‪@OldenAdventures‬. They have a tent located on the dock where you check in with them. We had transfers booked which took us to Briksdal glacier, it took around 30 minutes to get there and the drive was amazing. We arrived at the car park to start our little hike to the foot of the glacier, its a combination of steeper paths and flat paths, the walk is beautiful passing roaring waterfalls and different landscapes. If you're not up for walking wall the way to the glacier you can take a 'Troll Car' which are little buggies taking you a part of the way.
It took around an hour to walk to the foot of the glacier before heading back down to the car park and visitor centre. There is a cafe and shops here where we stopped for a sandwich and coffee before getting back on the coach transfer to the ship.
Our next stop is to get on another coach transfer to the Loen Skylift which was a short 15 minute drive. The Loen Skylift is advertised as one of the steepest cable cars in the world which takes you from the fjord to an altitude of 1011m. Once you arrive the views from the top are out of this world, we were walking around unable to take in if what we were looking at was real as it was all so stunning! There is a cafe, shop and restaurant there, we stopped by the cafe for a cinnamon roll and coffee sitting at the look out point taking it all in. They also have a number of activities you can do there including ziplining, rock climbing and bridge walks.
We head back down to the ship and get changed as its nearly time for our PALO reservation which is one of the restaurants on the Disney Dream and the other Disney Cruise Line ships. This is a paid extra restaurant which is adult only, they serve brunch and dinner. We have done both brunch and dinner. The food is delicious and the views as we were sailing away were stunning.
Our vlog ends here, next stop is Ålesund!

Thanks for sharing those amazing views of Olden! Favorite moment at 16:35: Alex: "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Max: "What about me?" 😂

[@livingincrete7157]

My jaw dropped at how stunning the scenery was. I was trying to eat my breakfast but couldn't take my eyes of the screen!

[@chinalee-mn4vy]

SO MUCH beauty on the trails. The views are completely breathtaking!!! Thanks for bringing me along, Maxx and Alex, you're much appreciated 😀💜

[@hmg191]

If you don't want to walk you can get a 'troll' car :D Howling! This is absolute beautiful scenery, makes me want to cruise now!

[@jeannebush4284]

I love Sundays, because.. Matt & Alex. I never thought I would see a more beautiful place than Alaska, but Olden has changed my mind. I truly cannot choose which views I loved the most. Thank you for taking such amazing footage.

[@suzanneparsons1041]

Olden is beautiful, scenery is amazing thank you for sharing your holiday with us x

[@tamist5079]

Watching this video has convinced me I really need to do this cruise what amazing views

[@tammystime3]

Absolutely stunning views. Thanks for sharing. That lift would have freaked me out Alex.

[@dndrusso]

Love the view from Palo. It’s always dark when Ive eaten dinner there. Stunning landscape.

[@khardy1801]

That water sailing in the fjord was stunning

[@dawnapplebee2919]

Thank you so much for sharing this magical adventure. The backdrop of Oden looks mystical, the bus ride to the glacier looked like it could be AI 😍🤩 Love loved this video today ❤❤

[@cathytaylor7708]

I’m from the USA but lived in Germany and Canada as well, but wow, the views in Norway are incredible. Maybe my favorite thus far. I’m glad you shared all that with everyone. Safe travels.

[@user-ee3od6hz9b]

You both look so happy here. Great video❤

[@brianstevens802]

Wow, I think I need to add this to the bucket list - that scenery is just amazing. The view from that high point was also amazing but I was hyperventilating just watching the cable car 👀

[@robinmcpherson6893]

I love you guys!! You are so wonderful! Alex, you sounded like the ride back down the mountain was tough. 😂 I love how Max looked at the camera, when you were asking about safety cables. Love you both! More vlogs please! Robin from Canada 🇨🇦

[@davinaweller6163]

The ffords look stunning !!. Your braver than me Alex going up in the Sky lift . Great vlog guys ❤❤xx

[@JohnHaroldMoore888]

Those views are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for bringing us along. And what about Alex sensing the presence of goats before they appeared! 😂

[@gcbus2]

Wonderful scenery and great camera work too. Can't wait for the next episode :-)

[@JenniferLinden-xy2qh]

Totally agree, Norway is the most stunning place.

[@bobbecnel]

Beautiful vlog. Amazing adventures. Brilliantly shown. Thanks!

[@wandakelley4304]

I always look forward to your content on Sundays, can't wait for next week

[@parkerdavis462]

Great Video ❤ Stunning scenery with 2 great tour guides 👍 This is now on my To Do List! Thank You guys!

[@danielvann4745]

Came across beautifully! Loved it! Thanks for sharing

[@user-eo3vy8tt9n]

Agreed, that scenery in Olden had to be the most stunning and breath-taking views I have ever seen. Thanks for bringing us along on your trip through the fjords, to the glacier and on the skylift. Loved it!!

[@judy1570]

Hi from San Diego 🌺The views were absolutely jaw-dropping! From the room balcony to the lift views! I would miss out on that view because I'm afraid of heights lol. Thank you both for taking us along your cruise! Can't wait for the next video!

[@shadow92992]

Wow, now I want to go to Olden! It is beyond beautiful. There were definitely trolls hiding in that mystical forest.

[@lyndadominick1380]

Loved seeing the scenery it was amazing. Have fun

[@karenroberts858]

You had quite a day in Olden. Al the views were amazing. Can not wait to see more. Keep having a fabulous vacation.

[@PHTKELL]

Honestly guys I was actually a little emotional tonight. It’s a real pleasure and a privilege to share that amazing trip and what I am sure will be an amazing memory. Thanks so much! Oh and a pasta feast I bet that tickled that pickle 😉🤭

[@Max_and_Alex]

Haha glad you enjoyed! And It should did 😂

[@tracylandry3821]

Looking forward to the rest of the video, but the first 10 seconds you are the most beautiful couple! 💞

[@janehynes8319]

Absolutly stunning on tv. I can only imagine what it looked like in person. Thank you for taking us along!!

[@sarahhanisko5128]

That was absolutely beautiful and now I need to go.

[@leehamilton8344]

What incredible scenery. Amazing vistas

[@honorabracken3597]

Olden was amazing and I can't wait to go one day. The Lift was a little intimidating. Love you guys.

[@Callum_and_Stuart]

Wow, the views are stunning 😮

[@danielcope6310]

WOW, what a absolutely gorgeous place Olden is, that was one of the best and most engaging vlogs I've watched in a long time, you guys are really putting Adam to shame 😄😉. Coming down on that cable car was like oblivion at Alton Towers. My friend and her family were on the Disney Dream last weekend, and she said it's a amazing in real life as it appears on vlogs. Keep up the great work guys and I can't wait for next week. ❤

[@melissaj9108]

as someone who loves waterfalls that waterfall is so beautiful to see in video. Time for myself to book this cruise for next year. Thanks for the lovely video.

[@Chrissyhappy]

Nooooo. I’m with Alex on the whole skylift situation 😂. I got the cable car up the Gibraltar rock years ago and had to walk down I was that terrified!😅😮

[@jennylofty179]

Beautiful country , had to watch vlog a few times it was stunning . Thank you

[@kiarasmema]

I love your videos, they make me smile. I have missed you guys being in Florida by 1 day two separate times. Maybe third will be the charm.

[@YorkShortGuy]

Going to watch this evening. It’s meatballs night so it sounds vaguely on theme. Looking forwards to viewing 💙

[@davidberry8275]

Brilliant video lads, the camera really caught the views and made me want to visit the area. Was a bit worried about the might Max getting stuck when he took the little detour :-). Also he shows no compassion when Alex is shared of the ride back down lol. My feet were curling up and I was only watching on TV. As always we bot really enjoyed the video. best wishes to you both. Looking forward to the next one.

[@jonathanlindley1]

You did the same as what we did in our stop at Olden. The skylift was amazing but the drop over the edge coming down wasn’t nice. My hubby was roaring his head off at me gripping onto the pole on the way down 🤣🤣🤣

[@louisnk9914]

I mean ...... How stunning is Norway !!!!!!

[@richardk.4503]

Imagine waking up to those views every day ❤❤

[@nicolecastro335]

Olden is beautiful!

[@christinemercado8706]

It looks beautiful!

[@a.e.7988]

Absolutely gorgeous, Thank you 😊

[@JennAndAmy]

Stunning views! 💙💙💙

[@Castique]

Such a beautiful trip! Thanks for sharing 🙏 I had to skip the meal element again (I just can't watch squid being eaten; they are the puppies of the ocean 🫣) but the rest was stunning 🫶

[@jacksbo6823]

Stunning! You’ll have to come to Canada! The drive from Calgary to the West Coast through the Rocky Mountains is breathtaking as well! We sometimes take for granted the country that we live in🇨🇦 now I have to save my pennies to do this cruise!

[@melodyhranac9920]

I love these vlogs. I loved seeing Olden everything was so beautiful. Another place to put on my list of areas to see. I've been to Alaska twice but Norway is better than Alaska. Thanks guys and looking forward to next Sunday, 🥰😍

[@bradlybradshaw5972]

Had to watch this one again! What an incredible journey! Breathtaking scenery! Alex I must say that you are one lucky guy to be sitting across from Max at dinner at Palo, that green shirt + his green eyes, was truly a movie star moment! ❤

[@bababooey9424]

You guys are the cutest ever.

[@tatianaabbott7640]

Stunning but the sky lift would freak me out!

[@user-be1ji2er8v]

You guys should go on an Alaskan cruise, glaciers and animal sightings are amazing. 😊

[@SuperCamper007]

Everytime you say olden I hear Oldham 😅😂 .... It's so pretty though, love your vlogs ❤️

[@Max_and_Alex]

😂

[@renzopinedacabrera2903]

wow!

[@lornawheeler5444]

Loving these vlogs guys, getting my through work this morning! We’re going on our first Disney cruise in the Bahamas in 3 weeks time but really hoping to do a Norway sailing in the next couple of years too 😍

[@Max_and_Alex]

Hope you enjoy 🤗

[@hunkybudwa]

Absolutely Stunning! Glaciers are so amazing. The color of the water looks incredible, was it more brilliant in person? It reminds me of living in Alaska, the summers were awesome, but the winters were brutal. How hard is it to book the excursions and specialty dining? Was it pretty straight forward or did you have to search for it? Another well-done video, it feels like we are there with you all.

[@LorettaCorona]

hi max and Alex the views of the tours you went were amazing I would be so terrified to be on that gondola 🐖

[@smileyfacejunior]

I was wondering what ship that was, remember seeing it going out the Fjord and thinking what a nice looking cruise ship😀. A tip from a local when going up to the Briksdal Glacier. You don't have to take the Troll car both ways if you take them. You can take the troll car up, then hike down. We did that when we brought my 4 year old niece, and it was much better then having her walk the whole way and we still got to enjoy the waterfall and play troll on the bridge and other fun stuff on the way down👍

[@lesliesmith5586]

That was beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@eclaireurspatial]

Yey🎉

[@nancymccombs3775]

The glacier area that you walked to, did it used to be entirely covered by ice? And it retreated? I know that’s been happening in Alaska.

[@stevief1985]

Again another fun vlog. Look forward to them every week but I was wondering where did you get your nice checked jacket from Max. It's nice 😊

[@bradleytaylor8228]

Honestly stunning! ❤

[@OtakuOG]

LOL @16:33 ! What's the answer Alex? Poor Max ahah

[@mp-iw6kx]

Hi guys.. ❤

[@moflataker]

Sadly Briksdalsbreen has become very underwhelming to look at. Last time I was there, 20 years ago, the arm was pretty wide and reached the lake. People could join guided tours, and climb all the way up and onwards to the proper beast - Jostedalsbreen.

[@michaelgore115]

Bricks dals breen ;) what's left of it !

[@anniedonnelly7416]

Shut up!'❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Rumbleduster]

I said what about me? Instant video cut 👁️ 👄 👁️

[@anniedonnelly7416]

A Norwegian wedding???❤

[@instinctxfitness]

Amazing vlog Max and Alex! Hope you’re both having a great time!

[@Ricvarona]

Did you see the face in the glacier? It is a side view of a person.

[@nancymccombs3775]

Beautiful scenery, great vlog! Thank you!
