Discover the dramatic landscapes and Nordic heritage of the Faroe Islands, with their steep cliffs, remote villages and strong cultural traditions. In Iceland, explore the fjords of the north from Akureyri, experience the remote beauty of the Westfjords from Ísafjörður, and enjoy Reykjavík’s mix of modern culture and extraordinary natural surroundings, including geysers, waterfalls and volcanic terrain. The cruise concludes with a visit to Invergordon, offering access to the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and historic castles.

A remarkable journey combining remote landscapes, northern cultures and some of the most striking scenery in the North Atlantic.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Akureyri
Often called Iceland’s northern capital, Akureyri sits at the head of a long fjord, framed by snow-tipped mountains. Stroll through a compact town filled with cafés, galleries and colourful houses, or visit the striking Akureyri Church overlooking the harbour. The town is also a gateway to Iceland’s natural wonders, from waterfalls and volcanic landscapes to geothermal pools. Botanical gardens flourish here despite the latitude, a testament to Iceland’s surprising contrasts. Akureyri balances small-town warmth with adventurous spirit.

Isafjordur
Tucked deep within the Westfjords, Ísafjörður is surrounded by steep mountains and quiet, mirror-still waters. This remote town is rich in fishing heritage, with preserved wooden houses telling stories of life at the edge of the Arctic Circle. From here, explore dramatic fjords, waterfalls and bird-filled cliffs, or simply wander streets where time feels slower. The surrounding landscapes are vast and humbling, shaped by glaciers and centuries of isolation. Ísafjörður offers a rare sense of calm and connection to nature.

Reykjavik
Colourful, creative and quietly powerful, Reykjavík is a capital city shaped by fire and ice. Wander vibrant streets lined with cafés, galleries and Nordic design, or visit landmarks such as Hallgrímskirkja and the striking Harpa Concert Hall. Beyond the city, excursions reveal geysers, waterfalls, lava fields and geothermal pools. Reykjavík blends modern culture with extraordinary natural surroundings in a way few cities can. It’s lively, walkable and endlessly intriguing.
