Iceland or Norway fjords cruise?

I'm wanting to go on a cruise. Ideally I'd like to do both iceland and Norway but don't think finances will stretch. Which would you do- iceland or Norwegian fjords? It would be for 7 days in the summer.

Having been to both countries, I don't think I could choose! Both are fantastic in very different ways. What a lovely dilemma to be in. Sorry not very helpful!

Lovely, im jealous. Unfortunately can only do 1 at a time.
I'm looking at p&o and princess. I'm leaning towards princess but it's more expensive. Anyone been on both which is better?

I’ve done both too. I loved them both but think if it’s your first cruise I’d pick the Norwegian Fjords. There’s much more scenic cruising and easier excursions when you dock.

Brilliant. Who did you sail with? I've been watching Emma Cruises on YouTube and really want to go. Is it worth paying for a bigger cabin or is there enough things on board for you not to spend much time in it?

You don’t spend much time in the cabin, but definitely get a balcony. It is lovely to have a bigger room but you really don’t need it. There is so much to do on board when you are not off the ship.
We mostly use Celebrity, which is similar to Princess. I’ve not been on P and O but I gather they have a more British vibe.

We have all done both, Norway was better for us, better places and scenery, we did Iceland in the winter just before Christmas, Norway in the Summer.
We have done P&O and it was very poor in comparison to Princess, Holland America and Celebrity are my top two.
Daughters just been on MSC and said with was P&O sort of standard, no seats in bars, very few places to sit.
