Creator's Key Takeaways

I have never been to this country before, another country to check off the list.

We are going to explore Norway, explore Olden.

This is amazing. So, there's a cafe here and a shop as well.

Wow. Incredible. Look, you can see the ship down there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Sit on the right side of the bus for the best views on the way to the glacier.
Wait until the afternoon for the Loen Skylift to potentially have better weather and fewer crowds.
Bring a broly (umbrella) for the Loen Skylift.

It's the start of a brand new Disney Cruise Line series!!! We are doing the 7 Night Norwegian Fjords Disney Cruise on the Disney Fantasy! This was filmed 15th September 2025 - 22nd September 2025 and this was the itinerary! Pre-Embarkation Day Eastleigh Holiday Inn Day 1 Embarkation Day in Southampton Day 2 Day at Sea Day 3 Day at Sea Day 4 Olden Day 5 Alesund Day 6 Stavanger Day 7 Day at Sea Day 8 Disembarkation Day in Southampton It's our first time in Norway!!!! In this vlog we discover Olden, Norway! We go on two excursions and show you what you can do if your cruise ship stops in Olden! I start on our balcony with an Olden backdrop! I let you know our plans. We have booked 2 excursions through Olden Adventure. The Briksdal Glacier hike and the Loen Skylift. We highly recommend this tour company, we didn't have a single complaint! We get our tickets at the stand directly opposite the ship and we were guided towards a bus to the Briksdal glacier! I filmed the beautiful scenery on our way. Once there we went to the Norway gift store! We then started our hike up to the glacier. I try to show you the difficulty level and there is also a troll car if anyone has difficulty walking. We absolutely loved this hike, it felt incredible to be surrounded by the beautiful Norwegian scenery. Once we get the the glacier we go back down again and spend some more time shopping. We head back to the ship and go back on board for some lunch. After lunch we join our next excursion up the Loen Skylift! This was so much fun. It was only a 7 minute bus journey and the tour guide told us some great facts on the way. We go up the lift and had the most incredible view of the fjords. We take in the scenery and then head back down the lift. Once back on board I go through what we thought of the excursions. Then it's time to leave Olden! We had the most scenic sail away I think I've ever seen! I set up a time lapse so you can see us leaving the port. On board it's Pirate's night but we didn't really dress up for it. It was a Frozen menu instead of the pirates menu but we actually really enjoyed it! We then went to 90s trivia and then to the cinema. We grab some drinks from top deck, I show you the towel animal and then I finish the vlog! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoyed the vlog and seeing what to do Olden! 00:00 Intro to Olden Norway! 01:33 Getting off the ship 2:34 Bus to Briksdal Glacier 5:12 Briksdal shop 6:13 Start of the Glacier Hike 13:47 Arriving at Briksdal Glacier 15:13 Heading back to bus 17:11 Norway souvenir shopping 19:34 Bus back to ship 20:38 Bus to Loen Skylift 23:59 Loen Skylift 24:17 Fjords Views 27:31 Descending in the skylift 28:10 Back on board 30:41 Sailing away from Olden 33:00 Frozen Menu at Royal Court 35:01 90s music trivia 35:23 Cinena and towel animal 35:41 Outro & thoughts #norwegianfjords #olden #disneycruiseline Equipment used.
