We trace a sweeping arc along the wild edges of alluring northern seas, weaving through tranquil harbours, scenic wonders and seafaring history. Set sail from Reykjavik to admire Ísafjörður’s sheer cliffs and Siglufjörður’s charming village atmosphere, then relish peaceful onboard moments as we reach Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands’ storybook capital. In Lerwick, discover Shetland’s rugged beauty, then cross to Edinburgh’s castle-topped streets before our finale in dynamic Southampton.
