I am back from my Arctic adventure and what an adventure it was! I didn’t really have a massive amount to report back to you at the end of the cruise because our call to Bergen was cancelled and we missed our tours in Tromso. It was all a bit crazy so I thought I…

Alta Norway With P&O Cruises Part 2
I am slightly behind in blogs due to the signal strength being incredibly low through the Fjords but here is Alta day 2. Our second day in Alta was just as fun and exciting as day 1 and started with an hour’s drive out to Maze, one of the largest Sami camps in Norway. It…
Alta Norway With P&O Cruises Part 1
Since I last checked in with you all we have spent two days at sea and two days in Alta. Sea days are sea days, not a great deal to report but our days in Alta were nothing short of AMAZING so today they are the focus. Actually let me just mention that on one…
Fun All The Way In Norway With P&O Cruises
On Saturday morning I shall make my way to Southampton to Join P&O Cruises, Oriana, for a 12-night Northern Lights itinerary and having just finalised the details, I am excited to give you a pre-cruise blog on what we are hoping to do ashore during the trip. First of all we have Stavanger and to…
Counting Down To Oriana
There are less than 4 weeks left to go before I join P&O Cruises, Oriana for a 12-night Northern Lights voyage and it’s fair to say that one is pretty excited, although I don’t think I quite anticipated at first just how cold this cruise was actually going to be. The more my friend sends…
Back To The Beginning
Next year I shall be boarding the ship that started it all, Oriana! The plan is to embark on a 12-night Northern Lights cruise in March and I am already counting down the days – 80 left to go! I boarded Oriana back in 2007 for my very FIRST CRUISE and I have never looked…
Celebrity Eclipse in Alesund and Stavanger
When we woke the following morning we found ourselves already in Alesund and had barely noticed the ship coming alongside. The town itself was right outside our window. Neither the weather nor the scenery were as amazing as the previous two mornings, but Alesund looked quaint so we decided to get off for a quick…
Celebrity Eclipse In Geirangerfjord
The next morning we awoke to find ourselves winding our way down the even more spectacular Geirangerfjord. As promised by the officers in Flam, the sun was still beating down on the ship with only the occasional wispy white cloud obscuring the perfect blue sky. Another perk of being in a suite was the invite…
Celebrity Eclipse in Flam
We woke early the day we arrived in Flam as we had booked the Flamsbana mountain train excursion with Celebrity Cruises before we sailed. We had visited Flam the year before, unexpectedly making an overnight stopover due to bad weather preventing us from getting to Geiranger as planned. The station is only a stone’s throw…
P&O Cruises Oriana Suffers Technical Issue
Yesterday evening I was made aware by a blog reader that there had been a small incident onboard P&O Cruises Oriana. The CruiseMiss reader mentioned her mother and daughter were currently onboard the ship and they were reporting a small engine room fire. Oriana was due to leave Dublin yesterday evening at 8pm however it…
