Creator's Key Takeaways

We've never done this before, and it does mean the responsibility is on us to get back to the ship on time, but it was significantly cheaper than what PNO were charging.

It's definitely a bit of a walk, but absolutely worth it for the scenery.

One of my favorite excursions so far, I'm not going to lie.

Today's been one of my favorite days.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book independent excursions through third-party providers for significant savings, but research thoroughly and ensure you can return to the ship on time.
Sit on the right-hand side of the bus for the best views from Olden to the glacier.
Bring a jacket and be prepared for steep walks and wet conditions.
Double-check your onboard charges to avoid overcharges, especially if you have a package.
Get any issues resolved on board rather than waiting to get off the ship.

Today on P&O Iona, during our P&O Iona Norwegian Fjords cruise, we decided to try something we’ve never done before on a cruise. It’s a bit of a risk - and we’re not entirely sure whether it’s going to be a great decision or something we’ll regret! (Vlog 4). While sailing onboard P&O Cruises Iona, we step outside our comfort zone to try something new during our cruise experience on this incredible P&O Iona cruise ship.
