- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2022
- Welcome to the fifth episode of our Princess Cruises Sky princess Norwegian Fjords vlog series! We've arrived at our third port, a favourite port of ours, Olden!
Join us again in this episode for some stunning scenery. Today we take the Glacier Sightseeing tour from the quayside in Olden. This cost 300 NOK which according to our debit card was around £25 per person.
We same some amazing food in this vlog. We have a fantastic lunch at Alfredo's and in the evening we enjoy some sushi at Ocean Terrace, Princess Cruises' Shushi restaurant.
This 7 night Sky Princess cruise will take us to the Norwegian Fjords, known as the land of the midnight sun. We will be visiting Bergen, Skjolden, Olden and Stavanger. This is our 3rd time visiting the Norwegian Fjords - we just love the scenery and sailing through the fjords.
During the series, you might recognise a few other travel bloggers and vloggers, this is because also onboard was: Brits on a Ship, Chad Cruisers, Cruise Buoys, Innocents Abroad, Nick Tours and Paul and Carole love to travel - so expect lots of fun and laughter as the drinks will be flowing all week!
We paid full price (around £950pp) for this cruise and booked with / martinsholidayvillage

About Us
We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini break on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is shot and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board.
We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). Make sure follow us on social media.
We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises and MSC Cruises. We've booked cruises on Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean. We'd love to try Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.

Hope you enjoyed this video! Have you ever been to Olden? If so how did you spend the day? Did you enjoy it? 👌🏻
You are amazing!! Thanks!! Really!!!
Very welcome!
Sorry hadn't finished typing. We did exactly the same tour on the bus when we were in Olden. My footage looks nothing like yours, yours is amazing. What a beautiful place Norway is. Love this video. X
Haha no worries! It’s a great little tour, we were lucky to get good seats and great weather 😍
I love Alfredo’s! Great place for lunch on a port day.
Completely agree! The veal pasta is so good!
Beautiful pictures.
Thank you ☺️
Never been there.I usually travel in the winter months.i hate the cold.
Thank god for cruise bloggers like u 😃
🤩
Boys boys you know breakfast is most important meal during a day. Don’t miss it again !!!!!
well, if they opened it later we wouldn't ;) hehe :)
You guys are simply the best xxx
Thank you so much! 😊
I never really considered the Fjords before this video. I have to add it to the list now 🙂
Definitely go as the scenery is incredible! The lads have done a brilliant video, Amanda
Oh, a Norwegian Fjords is well worth doing. If you are in the UK it is also so easy to do :)
Great video, I see you cruised with the chadcruisers, I had the pleasure of meeting them on a little Alaska Sampler cruise in May.....Watching this makes me want to do the Norwegian fjords.............dilly dilly was had by all.
Great guys! Was so nice to finally meet them! Do the fjords, they are fab!
Lunch time so nice cup of tea and a fabulous video happy times
Thank you so much 😊
That performance in the atrium looked great, almost like a flash mob.
That’s exactly what it was 👌 only one we saw, fab! 🙌
Yes 3 times. We leave a painted pebble in memory of my Mum who loved Norway 🇳🇴
Aww that’s so lovely xxx so sorry for your loss 🖤
Looks like a movie set. Unspoiled beauty.
Its a fab little port :) These tiny ports deep in the fjords are the best :)
Hi both,
Another great video of beautiful scenery, we love Olden ,weather was not so kind to us in June on Iona!
Green tea and water !!!
Thanks for showing .
Glad you enjoyed it! Thankfully we've always been lucky in Olden with the weather, gutted you had rain.
Oh yes, we can be healthy some times ;)
WOW! What amazing scenery and such great music. You two are a joy to watch - so funny! The food looks scrumptious especially the sushi. Thanks again for another brilliant video. 🤗🤗
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! Princess do good food, that's for sure!
Wow outside dining at Alfredos, we had a dinner there, very tasty! Excellente 😋😘
Yes, it's not often the weather is good enough to eat outside, but it was a scorcher and so nice to enjoy some food in the open ait :)
Thank you, loving this series of vlogs xx
Glad you like them :)
Thanx guys looking so cool
A really beautiful video!
Thank you very much!
The cheese and ham toasties at the end 😂🤣🤣
🤣 standard way to end the night on a Princess ship 🤣
The scenery is amazing! Loved the vlog!
Glad you loved it! The fjords are breathtakingly beautiful :)
Absolutely great filming lads, really well done, and a big thank you once more, to you both.
Thank you for watching and comment, great to hear you enjoyed it!
HILARIOUS oh, and absolutely amazing scenery
Hehe, glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi 👋
We did exactly the
EVERY VLOG, I am whining--why can't I be there!!!! 😀
Haha, we’re bringing you along with us via video 😀
@@CruiseMonkeys And thankful I am! It is challenging Mt Cook, Ring of Kerry, and Banff for the most gorgeous vistas. 😁 of course you are the icing on the cake!
Brilliant as usual, sooooo can’t wait to see the next video.
Thanks so much, Stavanger is the next one, not our favourite but you know us - we'll still have a blast!
What spectacular scenery - I can understand why you’d want to be by a window/on the balcony. I’m so glad I’ve booked to go to Norway next year. Those breakfast muffins look yummy, as did the sushi too. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
It was a fantastic cruise 😀 You’ll have a fabulous time. This was our third time and we never get tired seeing those fantastic views 😍
Thank you for the video!
Many thanks for watching and commenting :D
Loved Olden was amazing, so beautiful. so much fun.
Isn’t it just fab! You had some fantastic views up the Loen Skylift too 😍
Top video as always and what a epic opening with that music and scenery.
I look forward to my trip to Norway and Arctic Circle even more now this coming October.
Thank you! Have a brilliant time on your visit to Norway and the north! It will be stunning 🤩
Stunning scenery again guys and although it was a pretty dry start, we got to see the lovely Luke the lush at the end 🤣🍺❤️
Glad you enjoyed it 🍺
love it you guys… on sky princess in October… so good … thanks xx
Thank you! Have a brilliant cruise in October! 👍
Loving this episode 😊we are off on Princess on the 20th August 2022, Land of the midnight sun cruise, thanks for your tips on excursions, the hop on hop off bus looks like a must 👍🍷🍹
Ohhhh, fabulous, that will be a wonderful cruise! We'd highly recommend the Loen skylift in Olden - easy to DIY but does cost about £70pp but the views are spectacular!
Good thing he wasn't drinking and driving.....LOL We are doing the same cruise (but the 8 day one) in May 2024 on Sky Princess.
Hehe! Have a fabulous time 😀
Fab scenery and food lovin the late night snacks. Cruise ship looks awesome. Sue
The ship and ports were fab! Thanks for watching :)
What fantastic scenery you were able to capture! WOW. This reminds me of our recent Alaska cruise. How cold was it?
Thank you! It was so warm, in the 20's (Celsius), must have been a heatwave for Norway. Would love to try Alaska.
Great video , fantastic scenery, going next August on Sky princess can’t wait .
Thank you! You'll have a fantastic time on her! :)
Things that surprised me: 1 - you have to set up your own table in the pizza place; 2 - that it's free - surely it should be? & 3 - you have to pay extra for the sushi restaurant and to get ice cream. Surely you pay enough for the cruise in the first place! Beautiful scenery, well captured, and it seems you've been lucky with the weather which is never guaranteed in coastal Norway even in the summer.
The table was because we requested to eat outside, they hadn't though anyone would want to. Didn't bother us though. On most mainstream lines you will have restaurants on ships that charge extra, so it is worth checking. Ocean Terrace is what they call a speciality restaurant, this means you pay extra for them, obviously there is always the buffet, main dining room, the pool grill and Medallion food on demand all of which is free. Same for the gelato - soft serve is available for free by the poo. You could easily cruise and not spend a penny extra... many do exactly that - we've seen 7 night cruises for under £500 which is better value than a uk city break! Thanks for watching.
Great video! Thank you!
We are booked for Iceland and Norway june 2023 onboard NCL Prima. Looking forward to it. We haven't decided on excursions yet. Window shopping at the moment, checking out people's adventures.
We managed to do Norway and Iceland back in 2019, we went on a 14 night cruise on P&O Arcadia. We do have a whole series of vlogs for that cruise if your interested here’s the link to those videos⬇️ we highly recommend the itinerary for sure! 👌🏻

@@CruiseMonkeys thank you! I'm new to your channel. I look forward to watching more.
Thank you! Glad to have you here! Hope you enjoy our videos! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment too👍🏻
We sat here with red wine in hand to watch this episode 🍷
Great entertainment again, and brought it all back (we were the 2 on the balcony waving 👋😃)
Don't know if you've got a new phone/camera but video quality has been fantastic on this series.
Hope to bump into you both again on another cruise. 👍
John & Carole
We loved you guys waving at us! We had no idea it was coming! It was so random and fun! But we really appreciate you doing so! ❤️it!
Just home from Norway on Iona and catching up with your vlogs. I have to agree it's a beautiful place and will definitely go back. Enjoying Princess vlogs may have try the ship.
Hope you had an amazing time on Iona! It’s a place we could keep going back to 😍 Oh yes, recommend them! 👌
I envy you soooo much! I want to add this to my bucket list! I think my next cruise is the Alaska cruise on Princess, but the Norwegian cruise may beat it. It's the air fare that determines my choice. Round trip from Colorado is a bit pricey.
Thanks for the vlog! The scenery is magnificent!
Ah yes, the airfare can double the cost long haul! We'd love to do Alaska but it the air to get over than knocks the price up! We will do it one day :)
It took me three days to find the time to sit and watch this episode and it was worth the wait! You're right, the scenery is spectacular! On my Regal Cruise, the veal pockets were the best thing I ate all week. The second best was the chicken salad sandwich, late at night from the international café. The night time chef realized that by the second night I loved them so she set one aside for me every night after that. Service was astounding!
The service on princess ships is really something! The staff work so hard. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Norway really is fantastic, so beautiful 🤩
Norway is soooo beautiful 😍
its super :D
Beautiful, been a few years since , but next time get a cabin with balcony to enjoy the absolute fantastic scenery, great video lads, 🙂Amanda, love Sky Princess just been on baltic cruise, brilliant!!!! X
Norway is just stunning! A balcony is definitely the way to go but we also say if you cant, insides are fine - just get up on deck early for the amazing 360 views that even those in balconies don't get ;)
@@CruiseMonkeys true! Cruising wherever whenever is the best!!!!,🥰
I'm with you Luke. I can't get over the scenery. Reminds me of the NZ fjords. You guys can party.
Hahaha! We sure can! We will one day make it down under and to NZ it’s on our list! There’s so so much to see! Thanks for watching and commenting Arthur 👌🏻 we really appreciate it! ❤️⚓️
Lovely to see Olden again, had a beautiful sunny day there in April - had a walk up a winding hill then an afternoon on deck in the sunshine drinking cocktails 🍹 😊
Olden is a beautiful little port, so pretty 😍
Lads that’s just taken us back to 2018 when we were there, stunning location. We went on a walk just opposite were the ship docked, breathtaking. We were on regal last year and Alfredo’s was superb, best pizza on the sea and the tiramisu was off the scale.all he. Great vlog lads, all the best now.
Thank you! Olden is a fabulous little village, so pretty 😍 The pizza is good but it’s tha ravioli that we’re addicted to in Alfredo’s 👌
What a very fun day! I think the bus tour was an amazing way to see Olden. Great cinematography skills as always 😎 And you went to my two favourite food places International Cafe yummy sandwiches and Alfredo’s yummy veal agnolotti (I dream about that dish 😂). I really need to try Ocean Terrace I’m usually too full from meals but I love sushi and it all looked so well made and colourful. All in all another great day with the 🙊☺️
Oh, you really should try Ocean Terrace, it is so good, actually all the food was. It was so nice to eat out on deck in Alfredo's with a beautiful view :)
Once again boys, lovely pictures and looked like you had fun. Wish I was there...lol
You both make it so much fun, interesting & the scenery incredible makes me envious XX 🌺
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you so much Alison :)
I have booked this cruise (Norwegian Fjords) next year (April 27) on the Sky Princess, & these videos showed me what to expect. I was on a Mediterranean cruise on the Sky Princess a year ago (April 30) & love the ship!
Glad to hear they have helped! We have a few Norway Fjords videos and will be back there this summer on Iona.
I saw this ship in Southampton it looks beautiful, hilarious towards the end off the night 😆
She's a little beaut! Hahaha, its the typical way our nights end on a cruise! :)
Have a broken ankle right now so seeing you guys walk all over the place is kind of making it hurt. However, then it seems to feel better the more you guys drink lol
Sorry to hear that! Hope you get better soon and feel more comfortable ❤️
Never thought of taking a Norway fjord cruise before but it reminds me of the Canadian Rockies.
We haven’t been there yet so we can’t compare them, however we do absolutely love the Norwegian fjords❤️😂
Great video boys you get better every vlog.PS your flag is facing the wrong way 😉
Glad you enjoyed it! Doh! Didn't even notice :)
Loved this video! Me and my family will be doing a similar itinerary but for 2 weeks on the same ship starting this Friday!! I just wanted to ask what time the tour to Briskdal glacier is? And thank you for all the recs, really making me excited for the cruise :)
Have a fab time! The times are 9:30 and 11 for Briskdal (www.oldencruise.com/shore-excursions/briksdal-glacier-shuttle-bus/). The one we took ran all day :)
That’s unbelievable scenery. I’m sure you couldn’t help but look out for Julie Andrews. Wrong country yes but my goodness what scenery.
hahahaha :) These little ports deep in the Fjords really are beautiful.
Fab video as always guys. We've just booked to go to Olden in May this year. What you recommend doing out of the skylift or the Open top bus? x
You can fit both in! They’re both brilliant but the Loen Skylift was absolutely spectacular if you’re short on time or not wanting to cram too much in we’d recommend the skylift over the open top bus/train. We have a vlog where we do both on the same day try this video ⬇️
ruclips.net/video/GJ_j8dMhRx4/видео.html
@@CruiseMonkeys thank guys. I’m terrified of heights but thinking I will kick myself if I don’t try to do it! Xx
I’m (Luke) not too keen on heights that’s why you never see me in the ropes. But the Skylift was ok, the views were certainly worth it.
You are so funny luke
Awww, thank you :)
Love Olden and will be there again when travelling on Sky Princess in couple of weeks. However........... please tell me I'm not going mad! I thought you'd already put up a vlog about your day in Olden including the land train but that seems to have disappeared and you're on the open top bus!
I can confirm you are sane, you’ve not lost the plot😂 the video your thinking of was from our P&O Arcadia Norwegian Fjords, Iceland & Ireland cruise 3 years ago.
Last time we went to Olden we done the skylift and the troll train, here’s the link⬇️
ruclips.net/video/GJ_j8dMhRx4/видео.html
Enjoy your upcoming cruise! ❤️⚓️
@@CruiseMonkeys Thank you so much. Very glad I hadn't imagined it all, although now we have to decide between the land/troll train and the open topped bus! The Loen sky lift will be very much weather dependant.
The sightseeing open top bus takes you to a glacier (not close up, you see it in the distance)
The troll train doesn’t go to the glacier it takes you along the fjord sort of around “the lake” and back along the opposite side.
For the skylift you just need it to be dry, but not totally cloudy, broken clouds are best because you can see them moving along without sacrificing the view of Olden below 👌🏻 hope this helps
Hope you don’t mind me sharing this info on your channel.Spoke to princess cruises this morning and they said you can now take a lateral flow test at home and take a picture of the results on your phone . Ready to show at boarding.
Things are constantly changing. We don’t mind the update or you sharing this information 👍🏻 thank you!
Another lovely vlog - the scenery really is stunning. A question though, I've never been on a cruise but it seems really noisy - the sound of people and the music in the 'wine bar' you were in was quite offputting to me. Is that how it always is or are some ships quieter than others? 😀
The scenery was incredible! Absolutely breathtaking! Honestly we can’t recommend the fjords enough!
There’s a lot of atmosphere on cruise ships, live pianists, singers, string quartets etc that sort of thing but it’s not constant and no at every bar. We’ve bee. On some ships that are very very quiet and laid back like P&O Arcadia, we’ve been on full on party cruises like MSC Virtuosa and then some middle of the road like Princess. I know it sounds a bit naff but there really is a cruise line/ship for everyone, there’s a lot of variety so it’s worth looking into them before booking, RUclips is great for that!
Hope this helps 👍🏻
@@CruiseMonkeys Thanks - that's really useful and yes, very helpful. I'm loving your vlogs btw and look forward to your next adventures! 😀
Hi guys. Hope all is well. Spending too much time watching the vids 😅
A couple of questions if that's OK.
1. What money do we need to take if any or an I just use my debit card?
2. Our first cruise coming up Iona the Ffords and watched your video on the Iona. My question is... we are thinking of doing 14 days from Southampton next year to Spain can you recommend a ship?
Cheers M&M 🍻
Hahaha, thank you! Ohh, enjoy your first cruise and the beautiful Iona.
We always use our Monzo debit card - no foreign currency charges. Cards very widely accepted in Norway, just like the UK.
Well what we would say, wait till you are on Iona, if you love it, take a look at Arvia for next year - she's coming this winter and is going to be Iona's sister sailing down the med next summer :) If you book onboard you might be able to get a reduced deposit or extra Onboard Credit. Your other options would possibly be a Cunard (more formal than P&O) or MSC (more Mediterranean so a mix of passengers, different languages and etc). We've cruised with both, so it would depend what you are after. You might also find Royal Caribbean go from Southampton too, but we've not sailed with them yet... Hope that's of some help - feel free to join our Facebook group and ask there too - you'll get a good range of responses then :)
@@CruiseMonkeys
Thanks again much appreciated and a great help
Amazing! Do you know if is possible to pay with card the bus???
Yes, Norway is more or less cashless, so card is accepted everywhere and no need to exchange cash 👍
@@CruiseMonkeys thanks! Love your videos!!! You guys are amazing
Just for curiosity, can the ticket be bought directly in the bus? My excursion was cancelled and we don't have any clue what to do xD
Yes, where the ship docks is where the bus and trolley train go from, they are constantly coming and going and there’s vendors there in red selling the tickets. If you want to go further afield such as the Loen skylift, you can book those tickets at the little shop just to the side of the dock area, it’s around £70 and includes the transfer to the skylift. They also have tours going to Briskal glacier, leaving around 9:30 and 11.
Check out www.oldencruise.com for prices, times and tickets. Olden is a tiny place so you can’t go wrong with directions 😀
Lovely port call been to Norway but not the fjords you should consider a trip to Australia & NZ Princess do a sailing around Aust & down To NZ you could join in Perth to make it more manageable $ wise and time.
We’d really like to travel down under and it’s definitely on our list. Hopefully fingers crossed as things move on we’ll find travel more accessible and be able to do it. It’s a long way to go atm vs the complications around flying testing etc
Thanks for your reply air travel will slowly get better Qantas has at least 2 flights a day from Heathrow I have done the trip many times to visit London and join P&O cruises from Southampton we are use to the long flight from Australia
Do you wear a go pro or what do you use to film?
We do it all on an iPhone, the filming and the editing :)
