Hi everyone and welcome to our new vlog series! We are getting on board #pando Iona for a 7 night cruise to the Norwegian fjords. We will be stopping in Stavanger, Olden and Alesund. We were supposed to be stopping in Haguesund but, spoiler, it was cancelled due to the weather. This is our first cruise on #pando and it is a brand-new ship to us obviously so come and join us today as we get on board and explore. You will get a tour of the thermal suite and our conservatory mini-suite room 9516. We will also show you around the outside decks, lunch in the Quays and dinner in the Olive Grove.
