  1. Day 1

    Bergen, Norway

    Set between seven mountains and the North Sea, Bergen makes a graceful introduction to Norway’s western fjords. Its handsome harbour, Bryggen’s timber wharf and the fish market sit close together, easily explored on foot. Ride the Fløibanen funicular for a clear view across the city and islands, then linger over fresh seafood. Bergen is compact, cultured and an ideal place to begin a journey into fjord country.

  2. Day 2

    Geiranger, Norway

    Geiranger sits at the head of a fjord framed by sheer mountains and falling waterfalls. Its deep blue waters form part of the UNESCO-listed West Norwegian Fjords, among Norway’s most striking landscapes. From the village, boat trips reveal the Seven Sisters and the Suitor, waterfalls facing across the fjord. For sweeping views, drive or take a coach to Ørnesvingen or Flydalsjuvet; the valley’s scale comes into focus.

  3. Day 4

    Leknes-Gravdal, Norway

    At Leknes–Gravdal, the Lofoten Islands reveal their drama at close range: steep peaks, sheltered inlets and fishing villages. On Vestvågøy, red rorbuer and seasonal cod-drying racks recall the trade that shaped these islands. Visit the Lofotr Viking Museum at Borg, where a reconstructed chieftain’s hall brings the region’s Norse past to life. Then follow the coast to white-sand beaches and viewpoints, where Arctic light transforms the landscape by the hour.

  4. Day 5

    Tromso, Norway

    Tromsø puts the Arctic within easy reach, yet its cafés, galleries and university give the city a lively, modern pulse. Set on an island above the Arctic Circle, it is linked to the mainland by a bridge and tunnel. Visit the Polar Museum and the Arctic Cathedral. Ride the Fjellheisen cable car for views across mountains and sea. In winter, the northern lights may appear overhead.

  5. Day 6

    Honningsvag, Norway

    Honningsvåg sits on Magerøya, above the Arctic Circle, where fishing boats share the harbour with expedition ships. From here, a road crosses open tundra to the North Cape plateau, about 35 kilometres away. At 71° north, the light becomes the main event: midnight sun in summer, polar night in winter. Walk the small town, then seek king crab, coastal views and stories of life near Europe’s edge.

  6. Day 9

    Lerwick

    Lerwick feels more like a North Atlantic outpost than a Scottish port, with stone-fronted streets facing a working harbour. Shetland’s capital rewards a stroll along the waterfront and through narrow lanes. The Lodberrie, an eighteenth-century merchant’s house built partly over the sea, is one of its most distinctive landmarks. Visit Shetland Museum and Archives for the islands’ Norse heritage and contemporary life. Beyond town, open moorland, sea cliffs and wildlife offer a striking change of scale.

  7. Day 10

    Kirkwall

    Kirkwall is Orkney’s compact capital, where Norse history remains part of everyday life. Begin at St Magnus Cathedral, a striking red-sandstone landmark founded in 1137. Nearby, the ruins of the Earl’s and Bishop’s palaces reveal the power once held here. Beyond town, prehistoric sites such as Skara Brae and the Ring of Brodgar make a compelling excursion. Leave time for the harbor, local shops, and a dram of island whisky.

  8. Day 11

    Leith-Edinburgh

    Leith brings Edinburgh within reach, but rewards those who stay by the water. Once a working port, this lively district pairs maritime history with independent restaurants, galleries and a strong local character. At Ocean Terminal, step aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia, the former royal residence now open to visitors. Trams and buses connect you with the capital: Edinburgh Castle, its museums and Georgian streets make an easy day ashore.

  9. Day 13

    London-Tilbury

    London puts royal ceremony beside a working city, with history written across its streets, squares and riverfront. From the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey, landmark visits reward unhurried exploration. The British Museum and National Gallery offer world-class collections, while Covent Garden and the South Bank make excellent walking territory. Cruise ships serving London commonly dock at Tilbury, about 25 miles east of the centre. Confirm your berth and transfer arrangements before setting out.
