Creator's Key Takeaways

If ever you fancy doing a cruise, this is one of the top five things you must experience.

We booked that with Olden Adventures and that's going to be at 1:30 getting back to the ship for 5:00.

There is quite a big difference in the price. There is a slight difference what you get at the end of the PNO one.

Even though the weather took a turn for the worse and we literally had horizontal rain, it definitely didn't dampen our spirits.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask your room attendant for a blanket if you want to sit outside in the fresh air.
βœ“Get to shows early to get better seats.

Today we’re in beautiful Olden, Norway πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄ We spend the morning exploring this relaxed little fjord village before heading off to the spectacular Briksdal Glacier β€” one of the highlights of the Norwegian Fjords. But instead of booking the official ship excursion, we decided to use a local tour provider… and saved ourselves quite a bit of money in the process πŸ’° So was it worth it? In this vlog we show you exactly what the experience was like, the scenery along the way, the glacier itself and whether booking independently in Olden is a smart alternative to the cruise line excursions. With waterfalls, mountains, glacier views and classic Norwegian scenery throughout, this turned into another unforgettable day aboard P&O Cruises Iona.
