Today we’re in beautiful Olden, Norway 🇳🇴 We spend the morning exploring this relaxed little fjord village before heading off to the spectacular Briksdal Glacier — one of the highlights of the Norwegian Fjords. But instead of booking the official ship excursion, we decided to use a local tour provider… and saved ourselves quite a bit of money in the process 💰 So was it worth it? In this vlog we show you exactly what the experience was like, the scenery along the way, the glacier itself and whether booking independently in Olden is a smart alternative to the cruise line excursions. With waterfalls, mountains, glacier views and classic Norwegian scenery throughout, this turned into another unforgettable day aboard P&O Cruises Iona.
