Creator's Key Takeaways

The snow and everything is just absolutely breathtaking. And this is fantastic.

It was amazing. Loads of fun. And we both took part twice.

The scenery, as I've made or may not have mentioned before, is absolutely spectacular.

YouTube Video Description

Do we get left hanging in Narvik? 🛳️ Welcome back to our Northern Lights cruise adventure aboard the Fred. Olsen Borealis! In this episode, we arrive in the beautiful Norwegian port of Narvik, where we explore the town, sample destination-inspired dishes, and enjoy a lively evening with Fred. Olsen's Martini Experience – featuring flaring bartenders, cocktail-making antics, and the unforgettable 'Slinky Drinky Batch Dispatch'! We also try breakfast at The View buffet restaurant for the first time, share thoughts on food choices, and show what’s on offer during port days. Later, we take part in the Ocean Bar's Martini Tasting—with cocktails like the Espresso Martini, Appletini, Cosmo and more! Who gets to bartend on stage? Spoiler: we both do! 😉 Sadly, as we sail away from Narvik, the clouds start to roll in... will we be left hanging in our search for the Northern Lights? 👇 Coming up in Episode 6 Whale sightings Spa relaxation Scenic cruising into Tromsø Afternoon tea buffet fun Dining at Vasco speciality restaurant Tiki bar cocktails in Tromsø Watch the full Fred.
