This episode is Part 2 of our Miami MerMaiden recap and now we’re getting into the fun stuff. Tortola, sea days, random surprises… all of it!
Tortola was such a good day. We did a private catamaran and the water was gorgeous, the views were perfect, and then out of nowhere Richard Branson is literally kite boarding right in front of us. We’re also talking about what we did on the sea days and the Kelis performance including Milkshake, of course.
In this episode:
• Tortola + our private catamaran day
• Richard Branson kite boarding like it’s totally normal
• Sea day plans vs. what we actually did
• Kelis performing onboard
• Final thoughts
That wraps up our MerMaiden experience!

In Part 2 we finally made it to Iceland and wow, this was the highlight of the cruise. After a relaxing sea day and a quick stop in Lerwick, Shetland Islands, we sailed into Akureyri, where the excursions were some of the best we’ve ever done. Think rushing down river rapids, visiting Icelandic ponies, and standing in front of incredible waterfalls!From there, we headed to Ísafjörður, a small town tucked between dramatic fjords that instantly felt like stepping into another world. Between the scenery, the fresh air, and the charm of the town itself, this stop completely surprised us!Just like Part 1, we’re talking through what was worth it, what wasn’t, and what we’d do differently if we went back.
