Join us in our first episode as we board the beautiful P&O Iona in Southampton as we set sail for a 7 night Norwegian Fjords cruise!

The Norwegian fjords are stunning, and if you have not yet cruised here, you must! Its a bucket list destination and so easy to to cruise from Southampton to! We paid ยฃ997pp for our P&O Norwegian Fjords cruise and booked with https://www.facebook.com/MartinsHolidayVillage/ - This was a Select fare smd included Parking and ยฃ210 onboard credit. We also took out the P&O Ultimate Drinks Package for this cruise which costs ยฃ39.95pp, this was upgraded to the Deluxe package as P&O changed their packages, more info on the P&O Drinks packages can be found here:https://cruisemonkeys.com/2023/05/new-po-drinks-packages-explained/ About P&O Iona: P&O Iona was designed to invite the outdoors in. Gazing out from the stunning SkyDome, three-tier glass Grand Atrium or the brand-new Conservatory Mini-suite cabins, you're never far from a spectacular view of the ever-changing horizon on Iona's cruise holidays. Iona, along with Arvia are the greenest members of the P&O fleet and the first British cruise ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). As an Excel class ship, she has a host of unique features including an on-board craft gin distillery, spectacular aerial shows and an Infinity Pool with breathtaking panoramas.

We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby โ€“ the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us! We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal. #cruisemonkeys #cruise #pandocruises #HelloIona #Iona #pandoiona
