21 Aug '27Cruise overview
Embark on an unforgettable 13-night voyage across the Atlantic from Reykjavík to Liverpool. Departing from the Icelandic capital, we spend a quiet day at sea before reaching Torshavn on the Faroe Islands, where the lofty, rugged cliffs promise scenic drives and invigorating walks. Next, we visit Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands to see Neolithic sites and discover Viking heritage, before dropping down to Scotland, where an overnight in Newhaven brings us the rich cultural heritage and high-class shopping of the vibrant capital, Edinburgh. Relax during a day at sea prior to discovering the picturesque French coastal towns of Le Havre and Saint-Malo. After that, we return to Britain at the Cornish fishing port of Fowey before hopping across the Celtic Sea to Waterford, Ireland, famous for its crystal-glass production. Following visits to Holyhead, gateway to the rugged Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, and Douglas on the Isle of Man, where a ride on a steam train is a must-do, your journey ends on the northwest coast of England in Liverpool, hometown of The Beatles.
Itinerary
Reykjavík
Sprawling Reykjavík, the nation’s nerve center and government seat, is home to half the island’s population. On a bay overlooked by proud Mt. Esja (pronounced eh-shyuh), with its ever-changing hues, Reykjavík presents a colorful sight, its concrete houses painted in light colors and topped by vibrant red, blue, and green roofs. In contrast to the almost treeless countryside, Reykjavík has many tall, native birches, rowans, and willows, as well as imported aspen, pines, and spruces.Reykjavík’s name comes from the Icelandic words for smoke, reykur, and bay, vík. In AD 874, Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson saw Iceland rising out of the misty sea and came ashore at a bay eerily shrouded with plumes of steam from nearby hot springs. Today most of the houses in Reykjavík are heated by near-boiling water from the hot springs. Natural heating avoids air pollution; there’s no smoke around. You may notice, however, that the hot water brings a slight sulfur smell to the bathroom.Prices are easily on a par with other major European cities. A practical option is to purchase a Reykjavík City Card at the Tourist Information Center or at the Reykjavík Youth Hostel. This card permits unlimited bus usage and admission to any of the city’s seven pools, the Family Park and Zoo, and city museums. The cards are valid for one (ISK 3,300), two (ISK 4,400), or three days (ISK 4,900), and they pay for themselves after three or four uses a day. Even lacking the City Card, paying admission (ISK 500, or ISK 250 for seniors and people with disabilities) to one of the city art museums (Hafnarhús, Kjarvalsstaðir, or Ásmundarsafn) gets you free same-day admission to the other two.
