Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Dover
The Port of Dover, gateway to England's storied shores, offers more than just passage; it is a living monument to centuries of maritime significance. With a temperate climate that invites year-round exploration, Dover provides an ideal backdrop for those wishing to delve into authentic English life. The port itself, bustling with activity, is a testament to the enduring connection between the English Channel and the cultural exchange it has fostered. As a prime example of England's commitment to preserving its maritime legacy while showcasing its modern advancements, the Port of Dover is captivating. A unique fact: it is the world's busiest passenger port, making it a vibrant hub of travel and interaction.
Day 2
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a city that's a long way removed from most people's stereotypical notion of the Netherlands. There are few, if any, canals to be found here nor are there any quaint windmills. There is, however, a thriving modern city which is one of the busiest ports in the entire world.
Day 3
At sea
Day 4
Ålesund
Perched on Norway's rugged coastline, Ålesund beckons with its captivating blend of history and natural beauty. This charming town rose from the ashes of a devastating fire in 1904, resulting in its unique Art Nouveau architecture, a testament to rebirth and resilience. Blessed with a temperate maritime climate, Ålesund offers a refreshing escape from the sweltering heat, inviting cruisegoers to explore its picturesque streets and waterfront promenades. For those seeking an authentic experience, Ålesund's proximity to the majestic Sunnmøre Alps provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, from scenic hikes to exhilarating fjord cruises. Don't miss the chance to savor locally caught seafood delicacies, a true taste of Norwegian coastal cuisine.
Day 5
At sea
Day 6
Djúpivogur
It may be surrounded by pulse-raising volcanic scenery, boast extraordinary wildlife, and sit on a dramatic, jutting fjord - but it's fair to say Djúpivogur likes to take things slow. In fact, Djúpivogur relishes its peace and quiet so much that it's won recognition as a 'Cittaslow' - a Slow City. So prepare to take a new, leisurely look around, as you relax into the breathtaking natural glory of Iceland, and explore this unique location - filled with folklore, fabulous food and fantastic fjords.
Day 7
Akureyri
Cruising to Akureyri, nestled at the end of Iceland’s longest fjord, Eyjafjörður, is a must for any cruiser seeking a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. As Iceland's second-largest city, Akureyri is a gateway to the majestic landscapes of the North, including the Godafoss waterfall and the volcanic wonderland of Lake Mývatn. The city itself charms visitors with its vibrant botanical gardens, which thrive despite the Arctic latitude, and its bustling arts scene. Akureyri’s compact downtown area, filled with cafes, shops, and museums, invites leisurely exploration, making it a perfect stop on any Arctic or Nordic cruise itinerary.
Day 8
Isafjørdur
Two colossal terraces of sheer rock stand either side of this extraordinarily located town - which rides a jutting spit onto an immensity of black fjord water. Surprisingly, considering the remoteness of its location and its compact size, Isafjordur is a modern and lively place to visit, offering a great choice of cafes and delicious restaurants – which are well stocked to impress visitors. The town is a perfectly located base for adventures amongst Iceland's fantastic wilderness - with skiing, hiking and water-sports popular pursuits among visitors.
Day 9
Reykjavík
The Port of Reykjavik offers exceptional convenience for visitors, acting as a gateway to both the city and Iceland’s natural wonders. Centrally located near the heart of the city, it allows for easy access to Reykjavik’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops, all within walking distance. The port facilities are well-equipped to handle cruise ships, making embarking and disembarking smooth and efficient. For those eager to explore beyond the city, the port serves as a starting point for tours to iconic sites like the Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, and the South Coast. This connectivity makes it an ideal hub for tourists seeking both urban and natural experiences in Iceland.
Day 10
Heimaey Island
It’s hard to imagine, as you stroll Heimaey’s idyllic streets of white wooden houses, that this island was literally torn apart by a spectacular volcanic eruption, just over 40 years ago. The fact that you can visit incredible Heimaey at all is something of a miracle – because the oozing lava of the Eldfell volcano threatened to seal the harbour off completely. Fortunately, its advance was halted by gallons of seawater, pumped onto it by the plucky islanders, who saved their fishing industry in the process. Iceland's famous for its scenery, and the huge castles of volcanic rock that rise out of the sea's waves here are some of the country's most dramatic.
Day 11
At sea
Day 12
Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
Day 13
Portree, Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye ranks near the top of most visitors' priority lists: the romance of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, combined with the misty Cuillin Hills and their proximity to the mainland all contribute to its popularity. Today Skye remains mysterious and mountainous, an island of sunsets that linger brilliantly until late at night and of beautiful, soft mists. Much photographed are the really old crofts, one or two of which are still inhabited, with their thick stone walls and thatch roofs. Orientation on Skye is easy: follow the only roads around the loops on the northern part of the island and enjoy the road running the length of the Sleat Peninsula in southern Skye, taking the loop roads that exit to the north and south as you please. There are some stretches of single-lane road, but none poses a problem.
