EXPEDITIONS: NORTH ATLANTIC
ISLES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC 10 DAYS (9 nights on board) / May 2027 Embark on a magical island adventure from Scotland to Iceland. On this far-reaching voyage, we’ll island-hop across the North Atlantic – from the fabled Gaelic-speaking Western Isles to the windswept Faroe Islands, and on to the Land of Fire and Ice. Begin in the Hebrides with Iona’s historic abbey and Lunga’s puffin-covered cliffs. In Stornoway, walk among the ancient Callanish Stones, then sail to the remote heights of St Kilda, where seabirds wheel above wave-battered cliffs. Explore the dramatic fjords and sea stacks of the Faroe Islands before reaching Iceland’s south coast – home to enchanting fishing villages, breathtaking volcanic isles, and the vibrant harbor of Reykjavík. HIGHLIGHTS • Explore Iona’s sacred abbey, founded in 563 AD by St Columba, and walk among its tranquil cloisters • Marvel at thousands of Atlantic puffins nesting on Lunga Island’s steep cliffs • Discover the Callanish Stones on Lewis, an ancient Neolithic circle older than the Egyptian pyramids • Wander St Kilda’s mysterious stone village and encounter its tiny Soay sheep, remnants of the island’s former human settlement • Explore the Faroe Islands’ wild shores and the turf-roofed villages of Vágur, backed by breathtaking cliff-top vistas • Sail Iceland’s south coast – feel Djúpivogur’s black-sand beaches underfoot and explore Heimaey’s fresh lava fields and puffin-lined sea stackss
