Creator's Key Takeaways

I've actually taken well over 50 cruises now.

I was on this cruise working on a much wider project with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines.

The cruise line have had absolutely no editorial input to this video, and in fact, they haven't even seen it before you're watching it right now.

I was absolutely delighted to find that it was pretty pleasant out there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the onboard swimming pools on Balmoral, as they are kept to a lovely temperature.
Use the private saunas included in your cruise fare as a post-swim reward.
Check the ship's webcam to see outside conditions and port status.

YouTube Video Description

#Cruise #FredOlsenCruiseLines I recently took a cruise onboard a ship that I've cruised on a few times now to somewhere that lots of people wouldn't even think about travelling to by cruise ship. This cruise took me to Norway, but not to the Norwegian Fjords, as you might be expecting. This cruise took me well into the Arctic Circle, somewhere that I'd never been to before. I've wanted to see the Arctic Circle for years, and so I couldn't wait to board this cruise ship to get started! In this video, I'm going to offer you my full review of this cruise. I'll tell you about the itinerary, the cruise ship, my cabin, what I got up to both in port and also while the ship was 'at sea', and so much more. I'll also tell you about the onboard passenger experience, to help you see what a cruise to this part of the world, with this cruise line, is like. I cruised onboard Balmoral for this itinerary, a ship operated by Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines. Over the last 12 months, I've been working on a really exciting project with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, which has seen my Mum taking her first SIX cruises. Follow our adventures here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKHCUFzEgF0ujIAMpT985_E23pekPSCVS Book your Fred.
