P&O Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews

I don't know whether this is the norm for these mega ships or whether its just a further downward trajectory to this particular cruise line but this is the one and only cruise ship I've ever been on that we've actually hated. We went on the Iona during lockdown on a cruise to nowhere and loved it that time. The ship was sailing at a third capacity then and even then it was standing room only ...

I wanted to go on a cruise again as it had been 10 years since the last time. I wanted again a scenic place to go to so it seemed logical to choose the Norwegian Fjords. After some search, I came across P&O and booked a 7-night cruise with my husband. We decided to book a sea view room and to book some of the excursions offered online. The day of the cruise finally arrived. The only ...

Booked this trip to see Norway and all it has to offer. The ship is huge. All shows were booked out for amost the entire trip. Some restaurants were never available so could not experience them at all. Unfortunately the cruise company did not advise that 2 of the 4 stops in Norway would be closed due public holidays. So nothing to do when you disembark. This would have been nice to know ...

I booked this cruise 3 years ago in 2020; I was meant to sail last year, however I postponed due to the covid protocols. I chose Norway as relatively affordable and having wathed some box sets in lock down (having made the Transatlantic crossing, in 2019, on the QMary with Cunard - as a big treat). When I first got on the Iona I was slightly overwhelmed with the size of it and wondered if it ...

I was convinced to go on a cruise by my mother, who wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords and needed some help getting around as she is disabled and cannot walk more than a few steps. After checking online for a suitable cruise, I came across an impressive video on "YouTube", featuring a virtual tour of the P&O ship "Iona" which I was drawn to immediately. I managed to book a cabin with ...

Good points - the food in the a la carte restaurants was good - our cabin was nice. Beds were comfortable and shower was fine - spa is great and they only allow a few cabins to use it at a time so it does not feel crowded - shopping on the boat was great. Really good prices for things - I loved the automatic toilet doors Bad points - P&O did not tell us that it was a ...

We chose this cruise for the destination and value. The travel agent tries to upsell of course so choose the cabin you like for yourself from the ships plan. I did speak to someone on board who had to pay the premium for a balcony cabin yet part of the ships structure came across the patio door, so she could not see anything. Really not sure where it was so check that out before buying a balcony ...

We chose this ship because the itinerary to Scandinavia sounded interesting and not an area we had been to before. On arrival in Southampton there were horrendous queues outside the terminal and we took 2 hours to board the ship. This was not P & O's fault as there had been an accident in Southampton but why were we not allowed into the terminal so at least we had somewhere to sit. We have ...

Just back from a wonderful week in the Norwegian Fjords on Iona had a great time. We stayed in 95** a conservatory suite which was a great room, nice to have that extra bit of space - lovely for sailing in and out of Olden. Watched all the shows in the theatre, especially loved the magician and the comedian Tucker. Favourite bars Crows nest and Emerald. Loved Sindhu, the Limelight with La Voix ...

A cruise for all walks of life, a beer in a sports bar up to champagne in a cocktail bar to smooth piano tunes. Not having to pay for things we would not need such as wifi and ridiculous drinks packages (we are light drinkers). We ordered all the drinks we fancied and spent £150 in a week. (We had £310 OBC so hit the shops to spend the balance or loose it). Great food and choice of style/quality ...
