Cruise Highlights

During the longest days of summer we explore Norway’s exquisite, scenic coastline from Tromso, above the Arctic Circle, to the remote and isolated Scottish Isles. Brightly painted villages, serpentine fjords, and vertical cliffs trailing lacey cascades call to the camera while millions of seabirds—kittiwakes, shags, razorbills, and puffins—call this paradise home. Cultural landmarks remind us of the intrepid nature of the Vikings and modern-day explorers whose obsession with adventure and discovery expanded the northern fringes of the known world.
