Ports of Call
Cruise from Portsmouth
- Dublin: Lively city with literary roots and friendly pubs. Visit Trinity College, explore Temple Bar, or walk along the River Liffey. There’s wit and warmth in every street.
- Greenock (tours to Glasgow): Handy for exploring Glasgow’s galleries and gardens. Take the train to the city or explore the Clyde coast—a mix of culture and coastal views.
- Stornoway (Isle of Lewis): Historic port with crofting culture. Visit the Standing Stones of Callanish, tour the Lews Castle museum, or enjoy traditional music in a local pub. The landscape feels ancient.
- Akureyri: North Iceland’s bright northern town. See the church overlooking the harbour, visit the botanical gardens, or take a whale-watching trip. It’s compact and welcoming.
- Siglufjordur: Former herring capital turned artsy retreat. Visit the Herring Era Museum, walk the harbour paths, or enjoy mountain views from a café. It’s small but full of character.
- Isafjordur: Fjord-ringed port steeped in maritime history. Explore the old town, head to nearby waterfalls, or join a kayaking trip. Its quiet charm suits its setting.
- Reykjavik: Compact capital with a creative pulse. Climb Hallgrímskirkja, relax in hot springs, or try local seafood along the harbour. Its energy contrasts with the wilderness beyond.
- Edinburgh: Capital of character and cobblestones. Visit the Castle, explore the Royal Mile, or climb Arthur’s Seat for the view. Old and new blend easily here.
