Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Portland: Coastal isle with sea cliffs and history. Visit Portland Bill, explore the castle, or enjoy Weymouth nearby. Rugged and open.
- Cobh (tours to Cork): Irish harbour town with bright terraces. Visit the Cobh Heritage Centre, take the train to Cork, or visit Blarney Castle. Friendly and full of stories.
- Reykjavik: Iceland’s capital of culture and geothermal energy. Visit Hallgrímskirkja, soak in the Blue Lagoon, or explore the harbour cafés. Fresh and inviting.
- Grundarfjordur: Quiet fjord town beneath Kirkjufell mountain. Walk the shoreline, visit nearby waterfalls, or take in the view. Still and cinematic.
- Isafjordur: Northern port with steep mountains. Visit the maritime museum, explore local trails, or sail into nearby fjords. It feels remote yet alive.
- Akureyri: Northern Icelandic hub. Visit the botanical gardens, explore Godafoss waterfall, or enjoy cafés along the fjord. Friendly and modern.
- Lerwick (Shetland Islands): Compact capital of the isles. Visit Shetland Museum, wander the quays, or take a boat to Mousa Broch. Heritage and nature entwine.
- Kirkwall (Orkney Islands): Norse-era town with striking cathedral. Visit St Magnus Cathedral, walk the harbour, or explore Skara Brae nearby. History feels close.
- Brussels (Zeebrugge): Access point for Belgium’s capital. Visit Grand Place, see the Atomium, or sample Belgian waffles and beer—a rich finale to a northern voyage.
