ITINERARY
Day
1: Reykjavík, Iceland
In
the southwest of Iceland near Faxaflói Bay lies the capital
of the country, Reykjavík, simultaneously cosmopolitan and
charming. The colorful houses on the horizon create a quaint scene that
will make you want to stay forever. Kaleidoscopic views await you at
the Harpa Concert Hall, a glittering, glass structure that perfectly
exemplifies Iceland’s modern design and will fascinate your
inner architect. One of Iceland’s most prominent landmarks is
Perlan, originally a group of hot water tanks that was converted to a
building that now hosts an exhibition, planetarium, restaurant and
observation deck, located atop Öskjuhlíð
hill.
Day
2: At Sea
Spend
the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some
time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of
your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore
Day
3: Tórshavn (Faroe), Denmark
The
18 major islands making up the archipelago of the Faroe Islands lie
between the Norwegian Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway
between Iceland and Norway. Here, a mix of Nordic and Danish
architecture amid lush, grass scenery creates a quaint image of a
picturesque destination. Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands capital
city, holds a competitive tradition and spirit of sporting events,
including housing the largest football stadium in the district. But the
city also contains an artsy energy with the annual Tórshavn
Jazz Festival that takes place every August. Among the many natural
treasures of the Faroe Islands is the Bøsdalafossur
waterfall, a cascade that flows from the
Sørvágsvatn/Leitissvatn lake into the Atlantic
Ocean, creating a glassy surface amid the rugged cliffs of the falls
Day
4: Klaksvík (Faroe), Denmark
The
second-largest of the Faroese villages, Klaksvík on the
island of Borðoy, inspires a sense of wonder with enchanting
landscapes. Dramatic scenes of lush valleys, the monumental peak of
Kunoy Mountain and sheer cliffs rife with seabirds like puffins and
kittiwakes beckon you and your fellow explorers to discover remote
paths. Within the fishing village, Viking history calls out to your
curiosity at the Christianskirkjan church, an elegant building inspired
by old styles of Norse architecture. Whether hiking with a group or
taking a car up the path, the viewpoint from the top of
Hálsur will take your breath away. For an easier dive into
nature, enjoy a walk through the local park Viðarlundin uti i
Grøv, complete with a picturesque bridge over a charming
brook. Revel in a taste of the Faroe Islands and raise a glass to
adventure with your fellow explorers at Føroya
Bjór, the oldest brewery in the country running since 1888.
Day
5: Stornoway (Isles of Lewis), Scotland
The
harbor town of Stornoway is your gateway for an unforgettable
adventure. Steeped in history and culture, ranging back thousands of
years, you’ll find that Gaelic is spoken alongside English,
and eagles and otters are as much residents as the locals. For a
complete account of the social, cultural, archaeological, geological,
and economic history of Stornoway, head to Museum nan Eilean. A drive
along the west coast of the Isle of Lewis reveals the Neolithic
standing stones at Callanish that are older and more impressive than
Stonehenge. Comprising 19 monoliths, ending in a circle of 13 stones
with rows of other stones radiating out in the shape of a cross, this
site is fascinating.
Day
6: At Sea
Spend
the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some
time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of
your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore
Day
7: Kilronan (Aran Islands), Ireland
National
Geographic has called the Aran Islands “one of the
world’s top island destinations” and the isle of
Inishmore is a particularly beautiful location. Sitting within the
island is the village of Kilronan, rife with Celtic history and
culture. Scenes of windswept moors and rugged cliffs that drop into the
sea create a dramatic landscape that invites you and your fellow
explorers to connect with their awe-inspiring power. From Kilronan, the
prehistoric fort of Dún Aonghasa calls out to explorer
spirits, beckoning you to uncover the mysteries of ancient Ireland. In
the village proper, stop in at the Aran Sweater Market for an authentic
piece of traditional Irish weaving. The Bar, the local watering hole
and eatery, sits in the heart of Kilronan. Here, you and your new
friends will find warm Irish hospitality, a cold pint and the fresh
catch of the day prepared in a Guinness batter, all while overlooking
the picturesque harbor.
Day
8: Dingle, Ireland
A
surrounding scenery of rolling green hills, rugged cliffs and
awe-inspiring mountain passes has made Dingle one of the most beautiful
places on Earth, a sentiment echoed by National Geographic. While
breathtaking landscapes are part of what makes the Dingle Peninsula
special, it also holds a unique history and culture as one of the few
places remaining where Gaelic is still widely spoken and old traditions
live on. One of the shops keeping those customs alive is that of
Lisbeth Mulcahy, a renowned designer weaver who creates bespoke pieces
on traditional looms for an authentic piece of Irish artistry that will
let you connect with the local community. At its heart, Dingle is a
fishing village, which means fresh seafood abounds. Visit a local
restaurant with fellow explorers for a break from your excursions and
take your palate on a culinary adventure through fresh salmon, crab,
scallops, bream, mussels, lobster and more.
Day
9: Cork, Ireland
In
the heart of Southwestern Ireland, Cork isn’t just a city
— it’s an experience waiting to wrap you in its
rich tapestry of culture, history, and traditions. Known affectionately
as the "Rebel City," Cork’s vibrant charm captivates all who
wander its scenic streets and bustling alleyways. Strolling through the
historic English Market, centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with
modern culinary innovations, offering a feast for the senses. As you
explore, architectural wonders unfold before you — medieval
churches and Georgian avenues paint a picture of Cork’s
storied past. Don’t miss a visit to St. Fin Barre’s
Cathedral, where Gothic spires reach for the skies, whispering tales of
times gone by. For those seeking a deeper dive into history, a visit to
Cork City Gaol promises a journey back in time. Art enthusiasts will
find solace in the city’s flourishing creative scene. Visit
the Crawford Art Gallery to indulge in contemporary masterpieces or
stumble upon live music echoing from authentic Irish pubs.
Day
10: Fishguard, Wales
Welsh
hospitality exudes from family-owned gift shops, antique stores, cafes,
galleries and pubs throughout the charming town of Fishguard. Sitting
within North Pembrokeshire’s sweeping valleys, cliffs that
plunge into the sea, the rolling Preseli Hills and ancient standing
stones, the landscapes inspire a sense of exploration with fellow
adventurers. Serene waters call out for a kayaking experience while
green paths beckon for a hiking excursion. Strolling through the
picture-perfect Lower Town Harbor, you walk the paths that Elizabeth
Taylor, Richard Burton and Peter O’Toole did when they filmed
the 1970s movie Under Milk Wood. Quayside cottages make Fishguard
appear as if no time has passed at all, inviting you and other
explorers to connect with local communities and discover the culture of
Wales. The Royal Oak Pub, standing for over 200 years, is one of the
best places to take in the local color with newfound friends.
Day
11: Dublin Ireland
Ireland’s
capital, Dublin, is bustling, cosmopolitan, ancient, and young at heart
all at once. It is one of Europe’s liveliest cities, where
medieval and 17th-century buildings stand comfortably amid all the
trappings of a 21st-century community. Marvels like the incredible Book
of Kells, one of the most beautifully illuminated manuscripts in the
world, call out to the curious. A gentle and relaxing cruise along the
River Liffey immerses you in the capital’s colorful history,
from the first arrival of the Vikings to the rapid development of the
city during the 18th and 19th centuries. When in Dublin, the Guinness
Storehouse, located in the heart of St. James’ Gate Brewery,
invites you to raise a glass at the Gravity Bar with a 360-degree view
of the city skyline.
