1 week Norwegian Fjords Cruise on P&O Iona (Part 1)

It's here! My feature length vlog of our 1 week cruise onboard P&O Iona as we sailed the Norwegian Fjords on a roundtrip from Southampton UK. This is part 1 of 2 so much sure you look out for the second part in a couple weeks - subscribing and turning on notifications will help and by giving this video a cheeky little like you show your support which I appreciate very much. In this vlog I show you the embarkation process, lots of tips on how to make the most of a P^O cruise, from the app to booking restaurants, reducing wait times and making smart decisions about your excursions. We experience a sea day on the North Sea, the ports of Stavanger and Olden with some incredible tours to see mountain goats, waterfalls and even to the top of a snow capped mountain via one of the steepest cable cars in the world. And that's just the beginning! I hope you enjoy and get a sense of what cruising the Fjords is like through this vlog. Oh, and stay tuned until the end for some bloopers!

Brilliant vlog, we always stay in an inside cabin, it's always so quiet and peaceful to sleep in. We spend so much time enjoying the ship and ports, that apart from sleeping, showering,changing etc. we can use the money saved toward another cruise. Keep up the great work Jamie Xx

The views on that sky lift were out of this world. 12 days and counting for our trip to Norway and Iceland, done Norway last November to Alta, and that was something else just to experience the northern lights, so this time the polar opposite. I follow a few cruise vloggers, but for being informative, you are way the best. Thanks for the hotel information again. Cheers.

Thank you for your tips and many videos that helped make a good holiday, amazing and allowed us to make the most of our time. We loved grabbing a cheeky drink at Sindhu before our nights out. .We also loved finding that all your dining suggestions (included in our faire and not) were all on point. Sindhu, amazing and our favourite of all, even topping the Epicurian taster menu. We managed to book some tours outside of P&O, which saved us a fair few quid. On one we managed a saving of nearly £200 for four of us, so I owe you a drink when I see you. While onboard we booked Arvia for the med cruise next year. So I’m off now to find your videos covering that now. Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks from us

So love the Fjords, did my first cruise to Norway on Britannia as a treat for my Dad after he’d had a stroke. We are going again in July but this time on Queen Victoria in Princess Grills, beyond excited!!! Inside cabins are excellent value for money, especially if scenic cruising is not a major element of the itinerary but I’m not sure if it’s the best choice for a Fjords cruise, as it’s so special to sit on your balcony with a morning cuppa during sail in or sail by. I’m curious Jamie, do you not have status for priority boarding with P&O, given how frequently you cruise with them? I love being on board for lunch on the first day. Looking forward to part 2, and also learning where you’ll be off to next. Thank You Jamie❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I will have priority boarding soon - nearly at the next tier - you need a lot of points with P&O! The only reason we had an inside is because of the volume of cruises we are doing this year (9 so far) so it was a case of inside or nothing at all. Enjoy QV - one of my fav ships ❤️

We had an interior cabin on Iona. Our biggest gripe was the paper thin walls. We only had neighbours on one side but could clearly hear them, and they were not being rowdy. How did you find them?

We didn’t hear anyone else and we had neighbours 3 ways
