George and Dan description on YouTube:

Hi there! We’re George and Dan – cruise lovers, travel vloggers, and your go-to duo for all things cruising. What began in 2016 as a simple way to capture our travel memories has turned into something much bigger: a brilliant online community and a passion for life at sea. We first picked up the vlogging bug filming holidays for fun. Fast forward to 2021, and our very first cruise changed everything. Since then, we’ve been hooked – sharing honest vlogs, cruise tips, and destination guides from ships all over the world. We’re proud to be a top resource for cruising the Norwegian Fjords, with in-depth videos, guides, and personal stories that help you cruise smarter and get the most out of your trip. Whether you’re planning your first voyage or you’ve got sea days in your soul, you’ll find vlogs, travel hacks, ship tours, and plenty of real talk here. Join us as we explore the world, one cruise at a time! 🌍⚓

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

It's genuinely one of the best nights of the cruise.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

The best bit about this suite is the kind of Juliet balcony here.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

We'd say if you only book one specialty restaurant on your entire sailing, make it this one.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

The layout is more spread out, so it feels less crowded and it's quick, good, and quality food included in your cruise fare.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

It's also one of the best places on board for sailaways with a bit of an atmosphere.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan
The Watch-outs

Unfortunately, it has to be one of the worst we've had at sea. Looked good, but the quality and flavors were very poor.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

Ship Wi-Fi is notoriously expensive and unreliable, especially in the fjords.

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

the buffet's just been like a write-off on this trip I don't know why

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

the sound was just so awful um so poorly done the echo just kind of echoed out

🥉KnowledgeableGeorge and Dan

the buffet is the buffet yeah and it's missing so much now there's three food stations one of which does a roast one always does a curry and one always does a vegetarian um which you think might be okay but um no it's not like the salads are quite poor the curries are quite poor as well it's just not very good at all
