Description: Part 3 (final part) of our August 2025 Fred Olsen Balmoral 5 nights to the Fjords Cruise. We have our visit to Haugesund cancelled due to Storm Floris, so we spend the day scenic sailing Hardangerfjord instead. We go to see Ukebox in the theatre, have a stormy night at sea, enjoy formal afternoon tea, sail up the Firth of Forth, and back under the Forth Bridges to Rosyth cruise port.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We've done this a couple of times before and we still rate it as the best we've had on a cruise ship so far.

I have to say all of our dinners on board this week have been very good.

This was a decent cruise overall, but losing a port on a two- destination itinerary along with some really rough weather definitely detracted from the experience.

We've really enjoyed these talks and we'll continue to follow his YouTube channel.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use packing cubes to cut down on packing time.

✓Book traditional afternoon tea for a premium experience.
