Creator's Key Takeaways

Myself and my husband Glenn love traveling and we love cruising especially. We are obsessed, you might say.

I really enjoyed all of the food on this cruise. Maybe even more than previous ones. And not because they were bad by any means, just that I felt they'd upped their game.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing in here and it's well worth doing. Lavoir was so funny and um just yeah had us in tears from start to finish.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use crease release spray for inside cabins to avoid ironing.
Consider booking excursions or doing your own thing in Kiel to avoid shuttle/coach delays.
The Limelight Lounge extra charge is well worth it for the food and entertainment.

YouTube Video Description

Our two-week Baltic cruise on P&O Britannia is finally underway! 🚢✨ In this first part of our Scandinavia and Baltics cruise, we set sail from Southampton, grab our traditional sail-away piña coladas, and enjoy beautiful views as Queen Anne follows us out of port. We show you around our inside cabin on Britannia, talk honestly about space for a two-week cruise, and take you along for our first sea days, including gala night, celebration dinner, the captain’s party and a very fun silent disco in the atrium. Our first port of call is Kiel, Germany — and let’s just say… it didn’t quite go to plan. 😬 Because of traffic issues near the port, we ended up spending almost as much time queuing for shuttle buses as we did actually in the city. We still managed to explore a little, grab some currywurst and a beer, but we also share our honest thoughts about whether Kiel is worth it when you dock so far from town. Back on board, the day ends on a high with an amazing night in the Limelight Lounge seeing La Voix, including a three-course meal and meet-and-greet — absolutely brilliant entertainment and well worth the extra cost. If you’re planning a Baltic cruise on P&O Britannia, or just love cruise vlogs, we hope this gives you a realistic look at what to expect from sea days, port logistics and onboard entertainment. 👍 If you enjoy the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe — we’ve got lots more from this cruise coming soon, including Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm, Visby and an overnight in Copenhagen!
