Embarking on a cruise is always an adventure, but enhancing your pre-embarkation experience can transform the journey into something truly special. In this latest episode of aclaireytale, we’re diving into the details of the perfect start to a 7-night Norwegian Fjords cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy.
Kicking off the series on September 15, 2025, our adventure begins with a stay at the Eastleigh Holiday Inn before we set sail from Southampton. The Holiday Inn’s Park, Stay & Go package has proven to be a game changer, offering a blend of convenience and comfort that every traveler covets. This package provides an overnight stay, breakfast, parking for eight days, and seamless transfers to the cruise terminal—all essential perks for a stress-free travel experience.
Join us as we explore the delightful amenities of the Holiday Inn, including a tour of our room, hotel facilities, and a peek into the wonderful breakfast spread that set us up for a day of adventure. Along the way, we’ll also share thoughts on our journey from Liverpool down to Southampton, and details about our exciting cruise itinerary featuring enchanting ports like Olden, Alesund, and Stavanger.
This vlog invites you not only to experience the awe of cruising with Disney but also to discover how pre-embarkation planning can elevate your travel experience. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or planning your first trip, the Holiday Inn’s package might just become your new go-to.

Lovely hotel. I'm looking forward to the up coming blogs 🌻
Haven’t been to Norway but I’ve wanted to go ever since I went on the Maelstrom at WDW 😅 I’ve been to Southampton once for a Transatlantic cruise but this is a good spot to keep in mind. Excited to watch this series!
Loved it. Always enjoy a good Nordic adventure! And thanks for the heads up on the time change! Hopefully next week we'll be in sync😅😅 Take care and have a wonderful week!!!!
I’ve considered these stay and park deals for our next cruise out of Southampton. They really do seem to make sense. Thanks for showing it in action. I’ll definitely book one in the future! Looking forward to the rest of the series. (A back-to-back DCL is also on my bucket list!) 😊
This was our first disney cruise in 2019! It was incredible!
Hope you guys had a great time on this cruise! My cruise is in 4 weeks and Im getting so excited! 🙂
Never been but excited to see if it is a cruise i would like to do.
Were booked on a Fjords next august. Really looking forward to it
We needed those waterproofs for sure! Joa
We went on a 12 day Norway cruise to the Arctic Circle a couple of years ago. Was one of the best cruises we’ve ever done. I can’t wait to see what all you did and where you went
This really was a summer of cruising for you. Do you work actually work for a Travel Agent? 😂 The Holiday Inn package was a lovely perk but also sounded great value. Nice hotel and the pool was a bonus. Breakfast choices were amazing. Lovely start.
