Hi both of you. Wow, It all looks so amazing & stunning! The Gospel Choir and group sounded incredible, absolutely adore all live entertainment. And how cool hearing Gareth Gates in the Limelight Club, divine place to eat drink and relax. x
Hi Debbie! We were blown away by the gospel choir, so glad we stumbled across it! Also the evening in the limelight club was so lovely, the perfect atmosphere 😍 Hope you’re good! Xxx
Just subscribed, really enjoyed this video, thank you. We cruised to the Fjords last month on Celebrity Silhouette, but have also cruised on Iona. We stayed up very late to watch the sail in to Olden, it was magical and still light after 2am. Love the Limelight Club, the sea bass is amazing. Looking forward to catching up on your other videos 😀
We can’t thank you enough for subscribing to the channel. That means so much to us. The sail in to Olden was so beautiful. The light at night was so special. The limelight night was one of our favourites. The food was stunning and great entertainment. Thank you for watching x
Stavanger looks so beautiful, it’s wonderful how you can hop off and explore different places, we are definitely hooked on cruising just from your vlogs - move over Ms McDonald 😉 Isn’t the entertainment wonderful - I love Tom Ball’s voice, and would definitely pay extra for Gareth - I’ve seen him in Les Mis and Footloose and he was brilliant in both. Thanks for sharing, see you in the next one ❤
Thank you Tracey! We definitely have the cruise bug, it’s an amazing way to see new places! Tom Ball blew us away, he was absolutely incredible. Gareth Gates put on a great show too, what I loved was how different all the singers were 😊
Such a pretty place 🥰 Oh, Martyn i feel you there! The big freeze and panic to get it right, but it always goes wrong 🤦🏻♀️ All of the singers and performers were all amazing 🎉❤ I was a gareth girl although like both him and will ❤
Ah I’m glad someone else feels it too. It can happen to me a lot. Just need to remember to breath before taking action. The team were so talented! Thank you for watching 😊 x
We were on this cruise and wondered if anyone was doing some RUclips videos. We’re enjoying watching them and remembering a great week. We saw ourselves in the Gospel Choir part, they were awesome. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thanks Helena and Martyn for a great very informative vlog. We are on the Norwegian cruise on Iona in September so very interesting to see the ports and on board entertainment. 👌xx
Nice vlog, again. Norway is stunning, I'm planning to go and live there when I'm retired in a few years time. I did a fjord cruise too, with Havila Voyages. Very nice, but I prefer a road trip myself. Just returned from another road trip, and even though I saw familiar places, I really loved it.
Oh my, did you two look fabulous on Celebration night ❤ The food looks fantastic, and there is so much to do - my Kev is now Googling cruises, something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. Love how Martyn brings everything back to Dr Who etc., I have a tendency to do that myself - it’s the geek in us 🤭 Thank you for sharing, see you in the next one!
😂 they were quite steep coming down. Such an amazing viewpoint. Good for people to know about the land train. There was a large queue when we got off the ship. Not sure if that was for the train. Thank you for watching x
Ah this cruise looks amazing!! If it wasn’t for the fact that I get terrible seasickness, I’d almost be tempted to book one myself but I think it’s probably best that I avoid it lol😂😂😂😂 great video as always!!
Thank you so much for joining us 😊 Norway is so special. I (Martyn) did the Fjords when I worked onboard ships. A few different places to this itinerary which was nice. I always said it was possibly my favourite itinerary due to the landscapes. X
Love this blog myself and my wife are going on Iona to Norway for our honeymoon so have found this very useful information have subscribe to the channel too
Really enjoying these vlogs you’re giving a real good insight into a cruise. Is the buffet food included or do you have to pay for all your food and drinks separately? X
Hi Becky, thank you for watching. The Horizon buffet is included in the price. There are some restaurants on board that charge. There are freedom dining restaurants that don’t cost for the food. Maybe we can explain in a future video to make it a bit clearer. We didn’t choose a drinks package so all our drinks we paid for. You could grab tea and coffee from the buffet and there were water stations around the ship. Thank you for watching 😊 x
@@sohelenaandmartyn Yes, I've asked Google too, I'm going in Spring so fingers crossed it's open again in time for me. I'm DESPERATE to visit as I actually sing in Stavangers sister Cathedral
We were on this same cruise last September. Very interesting to see it again. You are in for a treat in Olden,it's so picturesque & the Briksdal glacia is awesome.
Hiya 😊 it’s a great question. So it’s at a cost. You can purchase it on the ship or you can book it in advance to have on your trip. We just bought it for one device on the each of the sea days. Thank you for watching x
Thank you so much for watching! We did think that it must be strange for them. Their little street always so populated. When we went through everyone was being quite quiet and respectful which was nice. 😊 x
Hi guys, Can I just start by saying.. you two are just naturals at this, thank you so much for sharing... lots of great info for things to do ..
So glad you're enjoying the videos :) xxx

This is making me miss Norway so much. Glad you had such a lovely time 😊
Such a beautiful place! Thank you so much for watching 😊 x
Lovely memories as we saw Gareth in the Limelight on Iona too last year , he was fantastic ❤
We loved his show. We weren’t expecting him to play different instruments. He’s so talented. Thank you for watching 😊 x
We were on this cruise and wondered if anyone was doing some RUclips videos. We’re enjoying watching them and remembering a great week. We saw ourselves in the Gospel Choir part, they were awesome. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
That choir was fantastic! So moving. Amazing! We hope you had an incredible time. We absolutely loved cruising on Iona. 😊 x
Thanks Helena and Martyn for a great very informative vlog. We are on the Norwegian cruise on Iona in September so very interesting to see the ports and on board entertainment. 👌xx

Thank you Helena and Martin, we are on Iona next Saturday and you have given us some good ideas on what to see
Amazing! We hope you have a fantastic time. We truly loved our time onboard. 😊 thank you for watching x

That would definitely be an amazing place to retire to. It is so beautiful. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x

😂😂 go on Kev! Oh I can’t help it. The geek inside me always finds comparisons. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x
We were on Iona 17th June those steps were worse coming down 😂 there's a land train too takes you to the viewpoint but was fully booked
😂 they were quite steep coming down. Such an amazing viewpoint. Good for people to know about the land train. There was a large queue when we got off the ship. Not sure if that was for the train. Thank you for watching x
Ah this cruise looks amazing!! If it wasn’t for the fact that I get terrible seasickness, I’d almost be tempted to book one myself but I think it’s probably best that I avoid it lol😂😂😂😂 great video as always!!
Thank you for checking it out 😊 we’re glad that you enjoyed it ❤️ x
Just came back from the Lisbon,Porto cruise on the Aurora. Fantastic time. May well be booking the Fjords one on the Iona .
Oooh, we might have to check out that itinerary. Would recommend the Fjords on Iona. Thank you for watching 😊 x
@@sohelenaandmartyn The Iona does look like a wonderful ship but maybe just a bit too big. Not quite sure what to do at the moment.
We loved Norway! Looks like you are docked in their back gardens! New sub here also guys!👍

We loved Iona and this itinerary. We hope you have an amazing time. Thank you so much for watching 😊 and subscribing x
@@sohelenaandmartyn thank you for replying to my comment we go in April this year so not long to go now
Amazing you are!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words 😊 x
Sugar on your chips! It's the future 😁
🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂 just glad Helena stepped in. Thank you for watching x

Thank you so much for joining us ❤️ x
Can I ask what month you travelled? We were due to go June 2020 & watching your blog I’m tempted to rebook
Hiya 😊 we went at the end of June 2023. Thank you for watching x
Is Stavanger Cathedral open again now?
Hiya, from what I could find online. The restoration dates have been extended to Spring 2024. Thank you for watching x
@@sohelenaandmartyn Yes, I've asked Google too, I'm going in Spring so fingers crossed it's open again in time for me. I'm DESPERATE to visit as I actually sing in Stavangers sister Cathedral
We were on this same cruise last September. Very interesting to see it again. You are in for a treat in Olden,it's so picturesque & the Briksdal glacia is awesome.
Olden was definitely our favourite port. That’s coming up in todays vlog. Hope you had a great time when you went onboard. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Sorry if this is a super silly question but do you not get WiFi on a cruise ship?x
Hiya 😊 it’s a great question. So it’s at a cost. You can purchase it on the ship or you can book it in advance to have on your trip. We just bought it for one device on the each of the sea days. Thank you for watching x
How much was the coffees.?
In Stavanger I think if memory serves correctly it was around 91 Krona for 2 coffees. I could be wrong. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Will Young… and now, I’m married to Will Youngs long distant cousin ❤️
No way!! That’s amazing! Thank you for watching 😊 x
After I sat and watched this last night, we sat and looked at P&O cruises and are debating a Mediterranean cruise ❤️
Another great vlog but you have to feel sorry for the people in the white houses, with the ships docking so close by.
Thank you so much for watching! We did think that it must be strange for them. Their little street always so populated. When we went through everyone was being quite quiet and respectful which was nice. 😊 x
