These Ports Took Our Breath Away! 🇳🇴 P&O Britannia: Skjolden & Olden
Join us aboard P&O Britannia as we take on two of Norway's most spectacular fjord cruise ports: Skjolden and Olden! 🇳🇴🚢 In this episode, we share plenty of practical cruise tips, ship food reviews, and port guides: ☕ Life Aboard P&O Britannia: We test out cabin room service vs. the Horizon Buffet and the Oriental Restaurant for breakfast. Evening drinks and live music in the cozy Blue Bar (Deck 5). An unexpected Celebration Night dinner in the Main Dining Room (featuring the Beef Wellington!). An honest, in-depth review of speciality dining venue The Epicurean (£42 per person)—is it worth the extra cover charge? The ultimate sail-away lesson: Why Sunset Bar in October might freeze you out, and where to catch the best fjord views on board (from the Crow's Nest to your own balcony). 🏔️ Port Guides & DIY Shore Excursions: Skjolden: Exploring on our own without an official excursion—hiking to Åsafossen waterfall, Wittgenstein's cabin, and sampling brown cheese waffles at the local pub. Olden: Booking the Loen Skylift independently at the pier vs. ship tours, plus the famous emotional Olden sail-away fanfare. Are you planning a Norwegian Fjords cruise aboard P&O Britannia?
