Hi ben and david my name is brianna i love your videos i love how you give honest feedback on the cruises and all the places and what to do and how to save money in these ports i seen all your videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@derrybrett3779]

I wish you could mention about accessibility getting on and off the ships for wheelchair and mobility scooter uses. Love your videos ❤

[@jadelynn1703]

David being able to make up folklore so easily is so funny!

[@jayoneill1533]

David’s waterfall legend ruse totally took Ben in and it was absolutely delightful to see Ben’s hilarious reaction. Well done David.

[@edwardulrich1515]

Iceland is so beautiful!!! Thank you for the tour. I'm glad you took the thermal plunge because I was feeling chilly in empathy with you. What a lovely ship, too! 🚢

[@AlexKali]

Your videos never cease to amaze me, I enjoy every single one, genuine lovely people. Thank you for your content!!

[@claudiafantone6085]

I agree! Just lovely! Thanks my favorite guys!

[@ShelterCats]

Has to be one of the nicest suites I’ve ever seen.

[@claudiafantone6085]

It’s simply beautiful!

[@dboutier5636]

Wherever you are, when your waiter says you might want to go for something else there’s probably a reason.🥰🥰

[@danw1952]

Ben, at some time you should compile a master list of all your colorful expressions. DRENCH ME IN CHOCOLATE AND CALL ME A TRUFFLE. You come up with them so spontaneously and never repeat. Hilarious. You must keep David endlessly entertained. Your videos are great and I can imagine you'd be a hoot to travel with. I tend to watch your posts one after another because they're always full of good info.

[@claudiafantone6085]

He is so creative! What an imagination! Love this guy!

[@andreyaerwee6536]

So Lucky to do this before the eruption that recently happened. Love and prayers to the people of Iceland

[@staceygrahame2504]

There has been NO eruption to date. Please don’t spread misinformation.

[@mpb3481]

No eruption has happened yet. What has damaged the surrounding area is a swarm of intense earthquakes.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I love Iceland --- I've been a couple of times. The last time was on the NCL Prima last Fall and I attended "Elf School" and now have a certificate/diploma proclaiming, my distinction of knowing more than most people about Iceland’s hidden realm. It was not a ship excursion, we arranged it ourselves --- it was a really fun, unusual thing to do in Reykjavik! I also made sure to have a couple of the "best hotdogs in Europe" from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur Hot dog stand --- with "the works." I try not to spend too much money on food when I cruise to Iceland because the ship food is, of course, included with the fare .... but I'll HAPPILY buy a couple of $5 hotdogs drowning in remoulade, brown mustard, fresh onions and crispy fried onions!!!!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks for watching. Iceland seems to have left you with fantastic memories! 🌍🌭😊

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

Your thumbnail is precious. It should be in your living room framed on the wall

[@rosshageman951]

Great video. We went to Iceland in 2022 and went to the same ports you did. Prayers for the people of Iceland who will be affected by the earthquakes and volcanic activity.

[@tiniselles]

This looks like my kind of cruise. Good food and beautiful scenery. I don’t want all the other attractions. I’ll bring an iPad and book 😊. I will keep Windstar in mind.

[@Kayw434]

Beautiful ship! Haven’t been to Iceland in over 20 years! I remember it was breathtaking! So fun seeing this video! I so appreciate your descriptions of food, sights, and everything! Love your honesty, and yet you are professional and classy!! You are so informative,entertaining, and fun!! Your videos fill our hearts with joy!! You are the best!! 😊

[@marshacallahan3348]

Thanks for sharing your experiences on your luxury cruise. Loved the cabin! And the food! A wonderful vlog.

[@geograph-ology4343]

Great video again! We did a tour with Viking, hitting some of the same ports. Your ship was at some of the same ports when we arrived. One thing about beautiful Iceland is that some towns are 700 people which means they have little infrastructure to conduct tours for 300-1200 passengers. Checking out the smaller cities on your own is probably a better way than using some of the excursions the lines use because they max out of available openings in minutes flat. Rejkjavik was great with great food and friendly people. Being from the US, when handed the tab for two burgers and two beers and the total is 14,000 (krona) your first thought is "I am doomed", but when you do the math, it is only 100 dollars or so, but for two burgers, but the beauty of the country makes it worthwhile.

[@FraserAtSea]

Wow - what a beautiful ship - she looks absolutely beautiful! I really hope Iceland continues to take off as a cruise destination - some of these itineraries look absolutely remarkable!

[@Cruisewith]

I think it will continue to grow in popularity. The itineraries are beautiful!

[@sweethartjen]

I haven't even watched the whole vlog yet but I just had to say that your thumbnail for this video is absolutely the cutest! ❤

[@lynnemurtha5347]

Hi Ben and David, so good to see you enjoyed Iceland and Windstar. We were there on Star Pride about the same time with not great weather but it was still stunning. We love Windstar, you should try one of their sailing ships, Wind Surf is fabulous. Btw all soft drinks including speciality coffee are free on Windstar, there's no extra charge. Xx

[@irener1111]

I have been to Iceland 4 times but it has been about 35 years since I have been there. We used to say you can experience lol 4 seasons in one day there.. such a unique place. I loved it.

[@phils4634]

As you say, expensive, but Iceland (Island) has ALWAYS been an expensive destination. Visited by air decades ago (Reykjavik Glacier Tour), and even then the cost of beer was astronomical. Amazing geology though, and amazing Thermal Springs too!

[@steveburns6503]

Such a different cruise for u…I love the excursions… they are the best! I so appreciated - ‘there are no longest zip lines’ - nature is the best!

[@joannbrackney6542]

We were there in August along with Norway. Best cruise ever. If you go again, I encourage you to take excursions. The Golden Circle Tour in Reykjavik was fabulous. In the second day we took the south coast tour. Winding roads, waterfalls, geysers and a black sand beach.

[@davydtp1]

Cruising round Iceland is awesome. Shame you had some rubbish weather but the ports are gateways to some of the most amazing sights. Thank you for bringing back some happy memories and introducing some potential new ones!

[@louisewhite9152]

Hi Ben and David - sorry I haven’t been commenting lately. I’ve been in hospital for the past six weeks ~ with my Multiple Sclerosis and lupus ~ so have spent the last week since being home binge watching your videos. I’m up-to-date now and have just started watching your Iceland cruise ~ the ship looks absolutely stunning and you’re suite is out of this world - I look forward to watching the rest of the video. ~ I’m so pleased you’ve got to go on this cruise before the volcano situation.~ take care, sending love and hugs as always ~ Xxx Xxx.

[@suzidowd7949]

MS and Lupus. Crikey!

[@user-mp4zs2by9m]

Thank you. I can’t wait to see more of Iceland. Such a magical & majestic country!

[@starkiller18]

now this is the kind of cruise I think i would really love. I'm not a big fan of crowds and really love the scenery shown. I think something like this, one of the smaller Alaskan cruises or a Norway fjord cruise would be my dream cruise. Thanks for the video you two I only recently found your channel but have been very much enjoying it.

[@cvonh7305]

The entry way is like that (one outside door to the hallway, with the two suite doors inside that little vestibule, because back in the days when she was the Seabourn Legend we could buy both suites and they would take out the beds in one suite and set one up as a living room and the other as a bedroom.

[@fredbear72ify]

Fabulous my sort of cruise food looked wonderful, loved those pools thanks for sharing.

[@kparcparc4230]

When we cruise, we take a couple of portable chargers with us so we can charge our phones on the night stand next to the bed. And we charge the other portable charger over night so we can carry it while on shore.

[@darploin5071]

As I remember a oil tanker anchor tore about a 300 ft gas from the bow to midship's imagine that was just a model they destroyed but if you see a big WorldMark on the port side of the hall towards the bow then you know anchor did Terrell hole through the hull

[@reneesendlessstyle8144]

We were in Iceland 🇮🇸 in July, too! The weather was spectacular! We spent a week there after two weeks on a cruise 🚢 throughout Scandinavia. And, yes, the prices of food (great quality though) were through the roof. A glass of simple rosé (my preference) was about $20 USD. However, it was a great week. We also went to the Blue Lagoon. So much fun! Thank you for the review. XX

[@kennixox262]

Hopefully the Blue Lagoon will survive this current volcanic eruption as well as the nearby fishing village. The hotel is wonderful from my own experience. Expensive but well worth it. The cruise looked amazing. Iceland is a very nice summer break from the heat.

[@mpb3481]

There has been volcanic activity as in frequent, severe earthquakes in the Reykjanes region but no eruption just yet.

[@Cruisewith]

We do mention that we were invited. They do not pay us or have any control over what to do or say.

[@KStephon]

I loved our cruise to Iceland!

[@lesleymitcheson8439]

I was in Iceland a month ago ( Feb 2024) and had so much fun I want to go back. We did the Golden Circle tour. So we saw geysers,waterfalls, The Secret Lagoon which is a natural hot pool. We also did The Diamond Beach tour and saw a fantastic glacier. People are so friendly. Gullfoss was lovely who you saw it but it stunning when frozen

[@jackkoba8053]

Beautiful country, so glad you’re safe… quite dangerous now😮😮❤

[@brrrrharrr]

shiver my timbers and call me a poopdeck that is luxury

[@EuropopTop]

Another entertaining video. The cruise looks incredible, much prefer smaller ships. Iceland also looks terrific maybe as much as Ben’s coiffure😃

[@paulmirfin8689]

Sorry , I should have said , another great cruise and great content , love all your videos

[@bridgetlydon7]

I just love you guys. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Iceland. Love the "waterfall" lol!. 🤣🤣😘😘

[@stevebartley628]

British English vs American English. In America the word homely ususally means unattractive and is used to describe a person

[@tacrewgirl]

I've made this mistake several times in the US. 😂 Happy it wasn't just me.

[@karenzirk6800]

My heart goes out to the people is Iceland now.

[@kerrybreezy701]

We were suppose to go to Iceland but then Covid happened and we had to cancel. Looking forward to going there soon. Love your videos.

[@nelsondeaton9271]

Hello Ben. Hello David. After watching the Patreon version earlier this week, Iceland is officially on our bucket list. Am worried about all the quakes and pending volcano eruption though. Hope things settle down up there soon. Love you both!! Keep up the good work!

[@jenbrooks5872]

Omg I am so jelly. Iceland is at the very top of my bucket list. We were scheduled on a transatlantic cruise last April, which stopped in Iceland. However, life happens, and we had to cancel. However, now we are looking at flying into Iceland and doing a 14 day cruise around parts of Greenland and Iceland. In addition, my hubby promised 5 days in Iceland too, so it's worth waiting for. April 2026 can't arrive soon enough. Lol It is just stunning. We live in Maine, and it is gorgeous, but. Iceland is just exquisite. I can't wait. Thank you for sharing this. What a magical place. You hiked to a waterfall, and there were only the 2 of you there!!!! How epic is that?? ❤❤❤

[@Cruisewith]

Can't wait for you to experience Iceland. Thank you for sharing your excitement! ❤️

[@darploin5071]

Yes cuz I remember the movie speed 2 the interiors are much more cheeser

[@ZiggyZ820]

Great video would love to go on a small cruise like this but probably too costly for me. Love you guys happy Thanksgiving.

[@CarolHeney]

This was NEVER my idea of Iceland!! I thank you for changing my mind! I always thought of Iceland as a frozen tundra. It's gorgeous!!

[@leapyr50]

Excellent Ben and David. A place I would never go but so beautiful. Loved it. THANK YOU

[@swsunsetseeker7285]

Food looks delicious 😋

[@newbatgirl]

The thumbnail pic is the cutest ever.

[@karenbonham798]

Epic video!

[@veronicaescobedo6441]

Love the thumbnail ❤

[@laulau194]

Gorgeous - had a trip to Reykjavik over midsummer and we got so lucky with the weather, just one afternoon of rain.

[@Paradise-on-Earth]

when have you been in Iceland? Can't be really NOW, right?

[@mpb3481]

In July.

[@danielderozarieux8832]

Love you both. You made my Sunday night with this dropping. Thank you. Daniel. From London

[@DawnalynForrest]

Darlings!!! What a fun visit! I love sharing your video adventures. ❤

[@kparcparc4230]

Can you order more than one entree, appetizer, dessert?

[@Cruisewith]

Yes 👍

[@bradcolby3624]

Love the rainbow walkway to the church. This ship is beautiful and the country is stunning. I hope you get your wish Ben 😂. David’s as bad as me..love it 😊

[@gerardacronin334]

There are rainbows painted on the streets in many Icelandic towns, including one of the main streets in Reykjavík. The rainbow has a special significance in Norse mythology. It is the bridge between the domains of the gods and the humans.

[@williammueller6639]

So jealous. I'd love to cruise around Iceland one day and that suite is huge! Thanks for another great video guys!

[@taraoakes6674]

It was lovely to see you two at the Blue Lagoon. I’ve been spending plenty of time watching over the town of Grindavík the last few days fretting over the residents that have had to be evacuated. We’ll be going to a few of the towns you visited as part of our cruise next year, and I don’t know if the Lagoon will even be an option then. 🌋🌋🌋

[@lindar7698]

Sunday night is Ben and David time. Thank you for showing me parts of the world I would never see otherwise.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

[@missdemeanor4536]

I love the both of you! Thank you for sharing your experiences. BTW, was it stunning? ; )

[@elliechristie2498]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@VoiceOfVoiced]

Another lovely video here which I really enjoyed! (Although as always I blame Ben and David for making me sit stuffing my face throughout because of all the incredible food they show off!)

[@wehojm7320]

I like the big cruises but this looks like one I would definitely want to go on. Ever thing about the ship looked beautiful and the food looked delicious. I also like the small town feel of the towns that were visited. With possibly 300 people coming off the ship I hope it didn't inundate the local population. An overall 10 out of 10

[@TWSmith42]

So, 7 or 10 day cruise costing $5000 or $9000? That's a fair bit of pie and mash, no? What did the Blue Lagoon excursion cost? Anyway, thanks for covering a destination I am really very interested in.

[@peterpiper90210]

I love your videos! What month did you go to Iceland?

[@gerardacronin334]

Ben said it was July.

[@stevebartley628]

Good that the Blue Lagoon was open and not closed as it is now

[@salliestewart4713]

What were osts.

[@CruiseOnAWhim]

I recently cruised to Japan/Korea on the Windstar Star Breeze. It looks exactly like your ship, and even had the renovation to extend. The cabins, restaurants, bars and layout is exactly the same. Your video brought back fond memories and now I want to go to Iceland. With Windstar, of course!

[@sistersontheseas]

The ship looks stunning, what an amazing way to see Iceland! 🤩

[@seacats3598]

I and my son LOVE Speed 2!!! So excited to se you on the ship it was filmed on! Just so excited for this vlog!!! ~ Inge 🤩

[@vincentclausen2250]

I don’t understand why anyone would visit a remote area and not try local mom and pop food regardless of cost. Even with top notch food on board.

[@lawrenceakini4981]

The ship is amazing. Thanks for this vlog. Bon voyage! 🛳️ cheers.

[@patti1044]

Outstanding visit - thanks! We loved our Aug 22 trip so much that we are returning again next August.

[@carolevose4242]

You didn't try Icelandic lamb? Tut, tut, tut.

[@Lindarianmusic]

Windstar is beautiful, if I could afford it I would be taking a cruise on Windstar. Your show is the best, you both are so funny, and the waterfall story is hilarious. -Happy sailing, Ben and David

[@2tickets1world]

Omfg you Two are just so great 😂 I need friends like yall! That I can actually hang out with haha, but for now I settle for these videos

[@user-is2uy8ye2h]

We were on that ship in Alaska in September. Wonderful ship and staff.

[@lisahamil3625]

What month was this? We are going to Iceland in Aug 2024 definitely wondering about the weather. Love you guys🫶🏻

[@patti1044]

We were there Aug 22 - fabulous country. We had wind and driving rain for part of our day trip out of Aukeryi but that was our worst time. For us we wore a long sleeve base layer, water resistant hiking pants, long sleeve wool tee. DH wore a fleece jacket and I wore a puffer vest. And as always - waterproof windbreaker for the top layer. Every other day we wore our hiking pants and long sleeve tee, always carrying the windbreaker. Had lovely seafood dinner out in Aukeryi as the weather cleared so we could walk into town. Reykjavik we of course saw the Golden Circle and it was warm by noon. That evening we spent time at Sky Lagoon which we arranged on our own. Great guides on our Saga Travels small group tours - lots of pride in their homeland.

[@gerardacronin334]

Ben said it was July.

[@honeymcdonald9120]

No balcony makes it a luxurious coffin room in my dreams. I'm very claustrophobic so not for me - but you've done a great vlog once again. Just to add - if the Chinese want all their Pandas back - every other country should get their animals back from China - especially given their history of animal abuses.

[@lanfear63]

Wonderful looking cruise but sweet potato fries just no!.

[@jsptravels]

Was the Seabourn Legend, right? I think they even used the real name in the movie. That double entrance has the air or a larger suite divided into two during the refurbishment

[@TheBeardlessBear]

Loving your videos and David’s yellow bag. What kind is it?

[@Cruisewith]

Crumpler

[@lynneshrode2927]

So happy to see this video. It so looks like something that we would love to do. And to a place we have never been.

[@wshazbot62]

Glad your not there now, scary place to be now. Ok, guys seems your cutting off a lot more then usual. Guessing content for your patreon people, makes me sad. I’m noticing the few channels I’m loyal to, are cutting off more and more lately. I’ll still watch y’all , but very sad not to see all you did. You did cram a lot in the 34 mins, but I miss seeing more. Hope you show more next time 🙏

[@paulmirfin8689]

Ben would you please let me know what bag you have , the yellow one on your cruise , my wife loves it and we would love to buy 1 , thank you ... Paul

[@oldgoat50]

Never thought I would see Ben without a shirt? He has ink on his chest Stick me with a needle and call me Tattoo 😊.

[@tuzanne]

That looks like a Viking ship. We went on one to Norway and loved it especially the bar at the end of the ship

[@paulahurley]

Sorry that the weather didn't work out for you, we were there at the end of June/ beginning of July in 2022 and got so lucky, it was 17 degrees when we were in Reykjavik. Akureyri (pronounces Ack-u-airy) was beautiful. I need more time to go back. It's the most northerly port in Iceland, but unfortunately it's still quite a drive from many highlights (Arctic Henge). I hope you get to go back and experience better weather.

[@Cruisewith]

Sounds like you had an amazing time in Iceland with perfect weather. Akureyri must have been stunning.

[@paulahurley]

@Cruisewith We did indeed, although ye guys saw a Port I would've loved to have seen. This is why I love cruising because you get to see multiple places in one vacation and then you discover where you want to go back and do a focused trip.

[@angelaalan]

We recently cruised with Ambassador to Seydisfjordur, Iceland as well as other Icelandic towns. It was a budget rather than luxury trip but Iceland is spectacular. Great vlog guys

[@gerardacronin334]

Were you there in mid July? I was in Seydisfjordur on the Azamara Journey and saw your ship docked at the opposite quay. We were going round Iceland in opposite directions. I believe your ship was the one that visited Torshavn in the Faroe Islands at the time of the whale slaughter. If so, very upsetting!

[@charleneedwards612]

Love watching your videos, we are thinking of booking ariver cruise in Europe based on your videos. What brand shirt are you wearing with the deer/ horse on it? My husband really likes them

[@Cruisewith]

They are Polo Ralph lauren.

[@laraduignan2277]

The fish monger looks exactly like Harrison Ford

[@nancysmall9793]

This was a fabulous video. Thank you.

[@DopeadventuresCP]

On a quest to watch all of the videos?

[@Bondgirl73]

My 9 yr old son and i absolutely LOVE both of you!!! I must say, as a peri-menopausal woman, I think I need a cruise like this…. I might just stay there for the next few years!😆💕🌷

[@greenkingdog]

why are you cruising around my local supermarket

[@clintondelp3465]

You guys are by far my favorite! Yet here is the smelly butt part of the review. You guys are constantly cruising. It has essentially become your job. A fantasy job for most, yet after a bit it is all work at some point. Your enthusiasm, your adventures, your relationship and humor highlight what you do. Yet there is so much more to it then that. Please make a video and incorporate more of your other great ability, to be very honest. I am sure that fun and joy is not part of your everyday life at times. My saying so does not dissipate the love. Again, you guys are right with Emma as being the ones I watch. A newcomer is Zack from the US. Don, and Trips for Travelers I watch alot too. Lida Loca is great too. Yet yours is my favorite. There will be a bit of a temptation to be a bit of a charcture of yourselves when this becomes cumbersome. An ideal, have other adventures. I think you would have an audience no matter what you do.

[@BIGMAGABULGE]

Watching this vlog and seeing David run around wearing a blue jacket and a yellow frontpack reminded me of Death Stranding. Graat video. Beautiful location.

[@barbarapond1510]

Halibut is my favorite fish along with sturgeon. They are very mild flavored with the texture of almost chicken. Love them. Fun watching this cruise, I would like the smaller ship. The big ships just have to many people for me. Looking forward to more on this cruise.
