Well here I am, just back from five nights on Fred Olsen’s Balmoral, all refreshed and raring to go. What a wonderful time we had, if you haven’t cruised to the Fjords then I would highly recommend it. They are quite simply breathtaking!
One of the highlights of our trip was the Rib Adventure in Eidfjord on Sunday morning. You may recall that I was a little bit nervous about it but honestly, it was absolutely fantastic. Even the grey skies and rain didn’t spoil our enjoyment. It was just the best fun ever and if you are going to the Fjords any time soon, book it!!
We then went on and took in a couple of beautiful waterfalls before slowing down close to the edge where the driver called to his herd of goats who came running down the steep slopes to be fed.
After a final big loop at top speed we returned safely to our ship, feeling thoroughly exhilarated after this wonderful experience, one that I would repeat in a heartbeat. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity, I promise you that you will love it! Just make sure that you book it well in advance as this excursion was sold out over a month before the cruise.
Another one for the memory bank, and one that I will treasure for sure.

For now, happy cruising folks and next time I will tell you more about our little adventure on Freds!
