Offer Highlights
Sail roundtrip from London Tilbury on this 13-night Northern Isles and Iceland cruise, exploring the Faroe Islands, Iceland and the Scottish Highlands. Your itinerary includes Runavík and Klaksvík in the Faroes, Akureyri, Ísafjörður and Reykjavík in Iceland, and Invergordon in Scotland.
Discover the dramatic landscapes and Nordic heritage of the Faroe Islands, with their steep cliffs, remote villages and strong cultural traditions. In Iceland, explore the fjords of the north from Akureyri, experience the remote beauty of the Westfjords from Ísafjörður, and enjoy Reykjavík’s mix of modern culture and extraordinary natural surroundings, including geysers, waterfalls and volcanic terrain. The cruise concludes with a visit to Invergordon, offering access to the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and historic castles.
A remarkable journey combining remote landscapes, northern cultures and some of the most striking scenery in the North Atlantic.
CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
Akureyri
Often called Iceland’s northern capital, Akureyri sits at the head of a long fjord, framed by snow-tipped mountains. Stroll through a compact town filled with cafés, galleries and colourful houses, or visit the striking Akureyri Church overlooking the harbour. The town is also a gateway to Iceland’s natural wonders, from waterfalls and volcanic landscapes to geothermal pools. Botanical gardens flourish here despite the latitude, a testament to Iceland’s surprising contrasts. Akureyri balances small-town warmth with adventurous spirit.
Isafjordur
Tucked deep within the Westfjords, Ísafjörður is surrounded by steep mountains and quiet, mirror-still waters. This remote town is rich in fishing heritage, with preserved wooden houses telling stories of life at the edge of the Arctic Circle. From here, explore dramatic fjords, waterfalls and bird-filled cliffs, or simply wander streets where time feels slower. The surrounding landscapes are vast and humbling, shaped by glaciers and centuries of isolation. Ísafjörður offers a rare sense of calm and connection to nature.
Reykjavik
Colourful, creative and quietly powerful, Reykjavík is a capital city shaped by fire and ice. Wander vibrant streets lined with cafés, galleries and Nordic design, or visit landmarks such as Hallgrímskirkja and the striking Harpa Concert Hall. Beyond the city, excursions reveal geysers, waterfalls, lava fields and geothermal pools. Reykjavík blends modern culture with extraordinary natural surroundings in a way few cities can. It’s lively, walkable and endlessly intriguing.
Just 22 nautical miles down river from the Tower Bridge in London, Tilbury is a popular turnaround port for cruises visiting Baltic and Northern European destinations.

Akureyri, called the Capital of the North is the second largest urban area in Iceland, and a lively one at that. Hemmed by the 60-km (37-mile) long Eyjafjörður, Akureyri is sheltered from the ocean winds and embraced by mountains on three sides. Late 19th-century wooden houses impart a sense of history, and the twin spires of a modern Lutheran church rising on a green hill near the waterfront, provide a focal point. To the south of Akureyri is the pyramid-shape rhyolite mountain Súlur. Beyond it is Kerling, the highest peak in Eyjafjörður District.
Two colossal terraces of sheer rock stand either side of this extraordinarily located town - which rides a jutting spit onto an immensity of black fjord water. Surprisingly, considering the remoteness of its location and its compact size, Isafjordur is a modern and lively place to visit, offering a great choice of cafes and delicious restaurants – which are well stocked to impress visitors. The town is a perfectly located base for adventures amongst Iceland's fantastic wilderness - with skiing, hiking and water-sports popular pursuits among visitors.
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.

The port of Invergordon is your gateway to the Great Glen, an area of Scotland that includes Loch Ness and the city of Inverness. Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, has the flavor of a Lowland town, its winds blowing in a sea-salt air from the Moray Firth. The Great Glen is also home to one of the world's most famous monster myths: in 1933, during a quiet news week, the editor of a local paper decided to run a story about a strange sighting of something splashing about in Loch Ness. But there's more to look for here besides Nessie, including inland lochs, craggy and steep-sided mountains, rugged promontories, deep inlets, brilliant purple and emerald moorland, and forests filled with astonishingly varied wildlife, including mountain hares, red deer, golden eagles, and ospreys.

Dining includes the Buckingham Restaurant and Borough Market, with Alfresco Grill for fresh-air favourites. For something special, try Saffron*, Sea & Grass* or our Chef’s Table*.
Her dining options will inspire you with two main restaurants, speciality dining options*, and a more casual bistro-style café. Sit back, relax and enjoy a drink in one of her four bars, lounges and pub. Or take in a show in the tiered main theatre, or discover your hidden talents in the card room, library, and craft studio.
