Editorial Summary

The creators return to the P&O Britannia to mark a ten year anniversary of their first voyage, documenting the initial days of a Norwegian Fjords cruise. After boarding in Southampton, they describe their small balcony cabin and enjoy a lively sail away in hot weather. The trip includes dining experiences at the Beach House and the specialty Indian restaurant, Sindhu, where they praise the quality of the food. During a sea day, they attend a lecture on Norwegian food and explore the buffet options. The journey encounters challenges when a stormy night causes delays in arriving at Halgassund, leading to the cancellation of their full day excursion. They observe significant congestion in the atrium and gangways as passengers attempt to disembark and reboard. Despite the logistical difficulties in port, the creators find enjoyment in the Glass House restaurant and a performance by Peter Howarth in the theater. They conclude the segment by preparing for their arrival in Olden, noting the high level of activity and crowds throughout the ship.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We return to Britannia after a ten year break. It was that cruise, ten years ago, that we first filmed and posted to YouTube.

We were booked into the beach house. We were really looking forward to that. Massive fans of the beach house and it didn't disappoint.

It's been 8 years since we went to Norway and we're really really looking forward to going back because the scenery is lovely.

It was a very, very rocky night. It was due to be quite stormy and it was.
