Cruise Overview

Wildlife, bygone civilisations and modern life in the North Atlantic 

Wildlife, bygone civilizations, and modern life in the North Atlantic

Ancient sites and modern life

Sail from Dover to the Icelandic capital via the remote and wild isles of the North Atlantic. As the gentler summer weather warms these storied seas, you’ll explore exciting capital cities, Neolithic sites, thriving island towns, and tiny villages where the Viking influence can still be felt.

Wildlife and expansive skies

Seabirds and marine life thrive under the huge skies of the North Atlantic. Whether you’re on our small boats (RIBs), on MS Maud’s decks or on foot, you’ll see towering cliffs teeming with seabirds and watch for whales and dolphins splashing in the seas around us.

PLEASE NOTE: In keeping with our adventurous spirit, we visit small, remote ports on our expeditions. Due to sea conditions and the secluded nature of the locations we visit, it’s not always possible to dock in port. Sometimes we have to use our small boats (RIBs) to go ashore.
