In this episode of our Norway cruise aboard P&O Cruises Aurora, we’re in breathtaking Olden, Norway — and we’re taking you for the journey! From being the first off the ship (yes, really!) to catching the Loen Skylift with zero queues and hiking through deep snow, it’s a day full of unforgettable views and hilarious moments.
Then it’s on to the iconic Briksdal Glacier — but we skip the Troll Cars and hike it ourselves (spoiler: the steps nearly killed us). Back onboard P&O’s Aurora, we explore the revamped main dining room and share our honest take on the new upcharge menu system — does it still feel like P&O?
Throughout the episode we share lots of cruise tips and honest reviews to help you get a real feel for what to expect whem travelling aboard P&O Aurora.
We also check out a less-than-stellar excursion in Ålesund, cozy up for a dreamy spa session, and have a full-on food coma in The Beach House. Oh, and we spot whales mid–Shania Twain serenade. Naturally.
If you love beautiful views, honest cruise tips, and a bit of cheeky humour, you’ll love this one.
