YouTube Video Description

In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we sit down with Shannon to talk through her Disney Cruise Line sailing to Norway aboard the Disney Fantasy — one of the most scenic itineraries in the DCL lineup. Shannon shares her experience traveling from the Seattle area to London before embarkation, visiting Norwegian ports like Haugesund and Olden, and navigating excursions in a destination known for its hills, walking, and outdoor focus. We discuss the pros and cons of booking excursions through Disney versus third-party providers, especially when itinerary changes come into play. We also talk about life onboard during a longer European sailing, dining with new cruise friends, why Shannon prefers smaller ports and locally guided experiences, and why she says she would absolutely cruise Norway again despite its physical demands. If you’re considering a Disney Cruise Line Norway itinerary — or wondering how it compares to Caribbean or Alaska sailings — this episode offers practical insight from someone who’s done it. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation!
