Adam England with his family while on a cruise.
Adam England went on his first cruise with his parents, sister, and grandmother.
  • I recently went on my first cruise with my parents, sister, and grandmother. 
  • I'd never been on a cruise before and was surprised that there were things for all of us to enjoy.
  • We all had a good time and I'll treasure the memories we made together. 

Until last month, I had never been on a cruise. Neither had my parents or my sister, but my grandmother β€” my nan β€” often travels by cruise ship, so we decided to join her on a cruise.

We decided on a trip to the Norwegian fjords, which we all wanted to see, and traveled on the 5,206-capacity Iona β€” the UK's largest cruise ship until 2022.
