Cruise Overview

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

Ancient sites and modern life 

Sail from Edinburgh to the Icelandic capital via the remote and wild isles of the North Atlantic. As the gentler summer weather warms these much-storied seas, you’ll explore exciting capital cities, Neolithic sites, thriving island towns and tiny villages where the influence of the Vikings 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 expedition boats, 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 secluded locations we visit, it's not always possible to dock in port. Sometimes we have to use our small expedition boats to get ashore.
