Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Rosyth

Welcome to Rosyth, where the echoes of naval history resound along its shores. This maritime gem boasts a temperate climate, offering mild summers and crisp winters, perfect for exploring its rugged coastline and quaint fishing villages. Away from the bustling tourist hubs, Rosyth offers an authentic glimpse into Scotland's coastal charm, where locals share stories passed down through generations. Cruise lines like Norwegian Cruise Line and Holland America Line anchor here, providing access to hidden gems like the historic Rosyth Castle. Fun fact: Rosyth is home to the Royal Navy's largest dockyard, a testament to its strategic importance throughout the centuries.

Day 2

Rosyth

Day 3

Kirkwall, Orkney Islands

Ensconsed inside Orkney's rugged shores, Kirkwall welcomes visitors with its affable nature and maritime past. This ancient seaport boasts a history dating back over a thousand years, where Norse and Scottish influences intertwine. Its temperate climate, tempered by the Gulf Stream, offers mild winters and cool summers, ideal for exploring its picturesque landscapes. As a gateway to Orkney's treasures, Kirkwall beckons with its charming streets and historic landmarks, inviting travelers to uncover its secrets. Don't miss the majestic St. Magnus Cathedral, a testament to the island's enduring spirit, standing proudly amidst the bustling harbor.

Day 4

Lerwick, Shetland Islands

Day 5

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.

Days 6 - 7

At Sea

Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.

Day 8

Longyearbyen

Longyearbyen is the biggest settlement in Svalbard. Seat of the Norwegian administration, it also has the best services and infrastructure in the archipelago. Located deep in the Adventfjord, a sidearm of the Isfjorden (Icefjord), Longyearbyen’s airport can be used all-year round, but its harbor is blocked by ice in winter. Most shops, hotels, restaurants and a hospital are within easy walking distance of the port. One of the most prominent buildings in town is the UNIS center, where several Norwegian universities have joined forces to operate and offer the northernmost higher education to both Norwegian and international students. Adjacent to UNIS, and well worth a visit, is the Svalbard Museum, covering the natural history and exploitation of Svalbard. Remnants of the former mining activity can be seen all around Longyearbyen and even in town.

Day 9

At Sea

Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.

Day 10

Honningsvåg

Searching in 1553 for a northeast passage to India, British navigator Richard Chancellor came upon a crag 307 yards above the Barents Sea. He named the jut of rock North Cape, or Nordkapp. Today Europe's northernmost point is a rite-of-passage journey for nearly all Scandinavians and many others. Most cruise passengers visit Nordkapp from Honningsvåg, a fishing village on Magerøya Island. The journey from Honningsvåg to Nordkapp covers about 35 km (22 miles) across a landscape characterized by rocky tundra and grazing reindeer, which are rounded up each spring by Sami herdsmen in boats. The herdsmen herd the reindeer across a mile-wide channel from their winter home on the mainland. Honningvåg's northerly location makes for long, dark winter nights and perpetually sun-filled summer days. The village serves as the gateway to Arctic exploration and the beautiful Nordkapp Plateau, a destination that calls to all visitors of this region. Most of those who journey to Nordkapp (North Cape), the northernmost tip of Europe, are in it for a taste of this unique, otherworldly, rugged yet delicate landscape. You'll see an incredible treeless tundra, with crumbling mountains and sparse dwarf plants. The subarctic environment is very vulnerable, so don't disturb the plants. Walk only on marked trails and don't remove stones, leave car marks, or make campfires. Because the roads are closed in winter, the only access is from the tiny fishing village of Skarsvåg via Sno-Cat, a thump-and-bump ride that's as unforgettable as the desolate view.

Day 11

Alta

People have been attracted to the community of Alta for thousands of years, and prehistoric rock carvings discovered in 1973 can be seen at the Alta Museum. Situated at the head of the Altafjord, it is a lush, green and hospitable shelter in the otherwise cold and windswept Finnmark landscape. Halfway between the grim, barren mountain plateau and the wet, stormy coast, Alta offers tree-clad valleys, pleasant temperatures and no more rain than the Sahara. However at 70 degrees North it is quite a different story in winter, when heavy snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures are the order of the day, and clear dark night skies become the arena for dazzling displays of the elusive Aurora Borealis, also referred to as 'the temperamental lady' by Laplanders. The world’s first Northern Lights Observatory, which played an important role in the development of geophysical and meteorological research during the first half of the 20th century, is located just 12 miles from Alta. Perched atop Haldde Mountain, it towers almost 3,000 feet above Kafjord, where the battleship Tirpitz was based during the Second World War.

Day 12

Harstad

Day 13

Bodø

The capital of Nordland is a peaceful city, but beneath the surface lies a fascinating and colourful military past. During the Cold War it was an important NATO base, stationing fighter jets to intercept Soviet naval vessels and aircraft. The situation culminated when Premier Kruschev threatened to destroy Bodø with nuclear weapons after a CIA U-2 spy plane bound for the city was shot down over the Soviet Union. You can learn more about the city's Cold War history at the Norwegian Aviation Museum, which is uniquely designed to resemble a biplane and houses an intact U-2 plane, a Spitfire, a rare Hønningstad C-5 polar seaplane and many other interesting exhibits. As well as its military heritage, Bodø boasts the world's strongest maelstrom at Saltstraumen, which attracts a host of visitors every year.

Day 14

Trondheim

Step into the storied streets of Trondheim, where the echoes of medieval grandeur resound in every cobblestone. Known for its illustrious past as the former capital of Norway, Trondheim boasts a rich maritime history and architectural marvels like the iconic Nidaros Cathedral, a testament to the city's enduring legacy. Embrace the brisk Nordic climate, where crisp air carries whispers of the sea and lush landscapes invite exploration. Amidst this scenic backdrop, cruise lines offer voyagers a gateway to authentic encounters with local traditions, from sampling traditional Norwegian cuisine to immersing oneself in the vibrant arts scene. Don't miss the chance to witness the mystical Northern Lights, a breathtaking spectacle that graces Trondheim's skies with ethereal beauty.

Day 15

Måløy

Day 16

At Sea

Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.

Day 17

Zeebrugge

In 1895 work began to construct a new seaport and harbour next to the tiny village of Zeebrugge, situated on the North Sea coast. Today the fast-expanding port of Zeebrugge is one of the busiest in Europe and its marina is Belgium’s most important fishing port. Many attempts were made to destroy this important port during both World Wars. Zeebrugge is ideally located for discovering the historic city of Bruges, and delightful seaside resorts with long sandy beaches can be visited by using the trams that run the whole length of the Belgian coast. Please note that no food may be taken ashore in Belgium. We shall not be offering shuttle buses to Bruges, but you may visit the city on an optional excursion: those visiting Bruges should note that there may be quite a long walk from the coach to the town centre.

Day 18

IJmuiden

North Holland’s ‘Gate to the North Sea’, IJmuiden has four harbours: the Vissershaven, Haringhaven, IJmondhaven and the Seaport Marina - the latter used by pleasure craft. It is the largest Dutch fishing port, but is a relatively young town: it grew up in the 1870s when the North Sea Canal was opened. During World War II, the German Navy demolished much of the town and built huge fortified concrete bunkers for their torpedo boats and submarines. After 1945, the town was rebuilt by the architect Willem Marinus Dudok. He designed IJmuiden’s most impressive building, the Stadhuis van Velsen, which houses local government offices. For cruise passengers IJmuiden is the gateway to Amsterdam, the Dutch capital and one of Europe’s truly great cities, where elegant canals are lined by old brick gabled houses, and superb art galleries and museums are home to some of the world’s best-known paintings. Please note that complimentary shuttle buses operate from the port to the centre of IJmuiden, not to Amsterdam.
