Creator's Key Takeaways

I never ever get tired of this view.

Iona never fails to disappoint us. This is our fourth time on Iona and we think she's a great ship.

Really whatever the weather. Really, I would say.

Just be prepared for everything. Just bring a bit of everything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take layers, thin layers, a warm coat, and some good footwear boots or comfortable trainers.
If you're going on boat trips up the fjords or up into ski resorts, then you need to really think about your footwear.

YouTube Video Description

Our final sea day onboard P&O Iona as we sail back to Southampton after an incredible Norwegian Fjords cruise… but the big question is — are sea days actually boring? We packed a LOT into this one. A foggy start to the morning set the tone as we headed for breakfast in Aqua MDR, followed by coffees in Vistas while the atrium buzzed with life. From there it was lunch at Horizon Buffet, a mission to find the iconic Iona deck chair for those must-have photos, and a bit of friendly competition with some giant Jenga. Of course, no sea day is complete without a stop at Ripples for some incredible ice cream. As the evening rolled in, we spent time in the 710 Club before heading to Pearl MDR for dinner, finishing the day with the Skydome production show “Triboo”. So… are sea days a chance to relax, or can they be just as full-on as port days? #pandocruises #iona #pandoiona #cruiselife #seaday #cruisevlog #norwegianfjords #fjordscruise #cruisetips #cruiseuk #ukcruise #cruisecontent #travelvlog #shiplife #cruisingcouple #sailwithgailandmike
