Norwegian Fjords CRUISE - P&O Iona - Stavanger and Olden - Part 1

[@sammonks1258]

Lovely to watch your vlog. We're cruising there in a few weeks on Iona. Looking forward to part 2 🙂

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi Sam, thank you so much ☺️ It's such a fabulous destination! Are you going to those two ports? We've spent three weeks on Iona this year 😂 and she has a lot to do and some lovely restaurants! Is this your first cruise, first time to Norway? Thank you for watching, we're working on the next one now 😉 Amanda & Mark 😍

Great video guys we are loving your adventures on the cruises.

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Awhh you guys, thank you so much for saying that, it really means a lot ☺️ We had somebody message and say they were unsubscribing because there was too much floating hotels now 😞 This was a bit of naughty one, as we should really have gone away in Millie but we couldn’t resist! Thank you for your support, hope you are all well - Amanda & Mark 😍

[@Austenadventures]

You guys do what makes you happy 😊

Love the video! Looks like you had a great time. We have been in Stavanger in may 2016 and the streets were full of local people for a local festifitie. All in traditional costumes, singing and dancing on music of fanfares, lots of school children of all ages. It was a happy day. The skylift looked amazing! All that snow made it even better, more of an adventure. I don't think i would have the courage to do it. The walk you took was long (in my opinion😁) but seemed to be with amazing views. We love the fjords and have to wait 102 days before we go back in august. Looking forward to see the next part of this bucket list adventure.

Hi Trees, we had a fab time 🤩 Can't believe two weeks have gone by already!! I bet seeing that in Stavanger must have been a fabulous sight! It was a very nice place and we met a local in a cafe and she was so lovely and told us about the Colourful Street and even took us there so we didn't miss seeing it ☺️ Olden was completely different and I had my doubts about doing the Skylift as I knew there wouldn't be a view but it was amazing to see all that snow ❄️ You have to do it as you may have a clear day and the views would be AMAZING 🤩 It was a nice walk back but appreciate it wouldn't work for everyone 😊 102 days will fly by honestly! 18 days til our next one - so excited 😆 Thank you for watching, have a great week - Amanda & Mark 😍

So enjoy watching your vlogs. Just wish they were longer...lol. You two are such fun. Norway is on our bucket list but we're doing the Med next year. Look forward to the next instalment x

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi Kevin, thank you so much you made our day 😍 It’s surprising how quickly 30 minutes fly by!! We’ve always tried to keep them to around 20 minutes but sometimes thats just not enough - we feel like we’re leaving so much out so thank you for saying that! How fabulous, where are you going in the Med and is that with P&O? We are doing the med in November with MSC (it’s a family cruise so watch out lol!!). Thank you so much for your support - Amanda & Mark 😍

[@ArnieRelffe-Arnold]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark You're so welcome. I wouldn't worry about longer vlogs. People can always watch them bit by bit. I see some vloggers make it an hour long and I love it. Yes, We'll be on P&O's Arvia next May. La Coruna, Palma, La Spezia, Toulon, Barcelona and Cadiz. Can't wait. I'd like to try MSC one day x

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

@@ArnieRelffe-Arnold Maybe we’ll make a longer one on our next cruise 😍 Ooh nice, our daughter is going on Arvia in October and although its similar to Iona it has a lot of other stuff and she’s just found out it has an Escape room 😂 Sounds like a lovely Itinerary, we would like to go to La Spezia one day ☺

[@debdavet-cornwallandbeyond1649]

Nice video guys. Both port stops looked great. Stavanger looked so bright and vibrant and then snow. Debs not sure about the cable cars though 😂

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Thank you 🤩 They were so different weren’t they?! Stavanger was quite a big town and we had such a beautiful day and then Olden was so small and quiet and a totally different day weather wise! Didn’t realise Deb’s wasn’t keen on cable cars 😂 We love them but we missed filming the return journey as there was quite a drop!! Thank you as always for you support 🥰

Great opportunity for me to see where I’m going in early June on a princess cruise 28 days to Norway and out to Finland Sweden etc.. I live in Australia so it will be a 24 hr flight to London .. will be so different for me .. hope to meet some lovely British people like you two on my cruise ship sky princess .. I’m booked for the b Glacier and the chair lift in Olden .. can’t travel all the way and not see it .. thanks so much your a lovely couple Lois sydney australia 👏😊😊🙋🏻‍♀️

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi Lois 👋🏻 That sounds amazing 🤩 We're on our first cruise with Princess in June as well going to Finland, Sweden etc as well but only to Kristiansand in Norway 🇳🇴 We're very excited as it's a big birthday cruise that we booked over a year ago!! You'll have a fabulous time, we've heard good things about Princess, especially the food 😋 Going to see the glacier will make your long flight worth it and hopefully you'll have a clear day for the Skylift as well!! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment - Amanda & Mark 😍

Did a PO cruise to Norway in 2015 and it was the best time ever!

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Good morning Margaret 👋🏻 That's fabulous! We did our very first cruise together on 2015 but it was on the Adriatic Sea and we loved it - Mark was hooked 😂 Have you done lots of cruises and do you have a favourite cruise line? Thank you for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

[@takethetwistyroad]

Fjords and cable cars, what’s not to like? 😀

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Exactly 👍🏻 Love a cable car 🚠 Gutted about the view but there you go these things happen! Maybe we'll have to go again 😂 Thanks for watching 👀

[@katd6580]

Did you go in April?

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi Kat, yes we went on the 20th April sailing? Were you onboard?

[@katd6580]

Going on the 24th of May from Southampton

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Ooh very exciting!! You will have an amazing time, it's such a beautiful place, just take a mix of clothes as we think the weather is as unpredictable as it is here!! Enjoy ☺️

[@tuckera303]

Hi we are going on 11 April 2026 any ideal what will be open then it’s just after the Easter holidays can I ask what week you went for an idea of what it might be like

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi 👋🏻 We went on the 20th April this year and it was after the Easter holidays and everything was open. These stops are at quite small places and I'm guessing when a massive cruise ship comes in it makes good sense to be open - although saying that we went to Hamburg on another cruise lines on a Sunday and it didn't feel like much was open at all! Are you going on Iona? Thank you for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

[@tuckera303]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark yes we are going on Iona it will be are first cruise and seen so many things we would like to do it’s the same ports that your cruise called

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

@@tuckera303 Oh wow, love hearing from first time cruisers! You will love everything about it! Just do you, don’t feel under pressure to get dressed up if thats not your thing but if it is go for it - we love formal nights! We loved going to the sweet shop and then the cinema on Iona and The Quays was really good for food and the Keel & Cow of course and we loved all the ports, even though the weather wasn’t the best but obviously would highly recommend the Loen Skylift in Olden and fingers crossed the weather will be amazing - as we said it was the week before and it actually was the week after 🤣
