Norwegian Fjords were amazing!

The stops and scenery on this cruise were outstanding. The ship was lovely although I must admit I do personally prefer Azura. I would advise everyone to do at least 1 Norwegian Fjords cruise in their lifetime.

P&O Cruises Ventura

Reviews

Great locations

5 weeks on Ventura going to the Caribbean, America and Central America. There were over 20 sea days which was the downside as the ship is smaller than others and less to do. I would say the exotic locations were brilliant though.

Norwegian Fjords

We had never been to Norway before but we are experienced cruisers. The cruise was well managed; we had very nice weather for the time of year and Norway is a beautiful country. The whole experience was relaxing as everywhere was so peaceful and quiet, but exciting as the scenery is spectacular! Certainly something we would do again!

Fantastic Northern Europe Cruise

We had a fantastic Northern European cruise on P&O’s Iona. The ship and destinations were fantastic. Our favourite was Hamburg where we went to the Lego experience. A lovely family ship and we would love to go again!!

Fabulous Fjords & Stunning Scenery

Modern and spacious ship for scenic travel through the Norwegian Fjords. We had a smooth crossing and sunny sea days, so this enabled us to make the most of the room, balcony, views, restaurants, shows and facilities. Iona stopped in three ports and I would definitely recommend later disembarkation for excursions as it’s quieter and more relaxing. Take advantage of the ships entertainment programme and don’t forget to book speciality dining early!
