EXPLORA IV
31 May '27Cruise overview
Where volcanic drama meets Nordic serenity, this Northern European odyssey reveals landscapes that seem conjured from ancient folklore. Your journey begins amid Reykjavík’s creative energy before venturing deep into Iceland’s remote Westfjords, where towering cliffs guard fishing villages unchanged by time.
The true magic unfolds as you sail through waters few travellers ever see – from the grass-roof charm of Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands to the archaeological treasures of Shetland’s windswept shores. Each port tells a different story of Nordic resilience: herring fishermen’s tales in Siglufjörður, Pictish stones in Lerwick, and Edinburgh’s regal splendour rising from Newhaven’s historic quays. Aboard EXPLORA IV, refined luxury provides the perfect counterpoint to these wild, elemental destinations where nature and culture intertwine in ways found nowhere else on Earth.

Your flight from London brings you to Reykjavík, Iceland’s remarkable capital, where a private transfer awaits to deliver you to your accommodation. The remainder of the day unfolds at leisure, allowing you to settle in and perhaps take your first glimpse of this Nordic island nation’s unique landscape and culture.
