Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document the beginning of their journey to the Arctic Circle, starting with an overnight stay at the Bloq Hotel near London Gatwick Airport. They describe the modern amenities of their hotel room, including touch screen controls, before detailing their travel itinerary. The trip involves flying from Gatwick to Oslo and then onward to Tromso, Norway. Upon arriving in Tromso, the creators note the surprisingly warm temperature of thirty degrees and the phenomenon of daylight persisting late into the evening. They stay at the Radisson Blu, which is located within walking distance of the port. The video concludes with the creators boarding the Viking Sea, a luxury cruise ship. They explore the ship's infinity pool and view of the city before inspecting their cabin. They express high satisfaction with the spaciousness of the room, the high quality of the bathroom, and the included snacks provided in the stateroom.
