ITINERARY
Day
1 : Glasgow, Scotland
In
the heart of the Clyde Valley, the bustling city of Glasgow contrasts
starkly with the wild beauty of the surrounding countryside. Scotland's
biggest city overflows with landmarks from its extensive artistic
heritage and outstanding architectural tradition. The city's
chequerboard layout makes walking through the major pedestrian
thoroughfares easy: go with the flow and let the lively street
atmosphere take you past the many Victorian monuments. Don't miss the
collections on display in the numerous museums and art galleries. The
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is an outstanding example.
Day
2 : Belfast, Northern Ireland
The
capital city of Northern Ireland is located on the very tip of Belfast
Lough, in the north-east of the Emerald Isle. Along the waterfront, the
building shaped like a fragmented liner is non other than the Titanic
Belfast, a homage to the famous transatlantic liner, with full-scale
reconstructions making for an insightful experience of the Belle
Epoque. In the historical centre, you’ll also travel back in
time when you see the majestic Edwardian columns of the City Hall, and
the imposing neo-gothic towers of Queen’s University for
example. The carved wooden façades of the Victorian pubs
will certainly entice you in for a pint of beer or chilled cider.
Day
3 : Sailing on Loch Linnhe
Loch
Linnhe is located in the Scottish Highlands, stretching between the
Isle of Mull and Fort William. Sail in the heart of picturesque
landscapes and admire the formations of the magnificent mountains and
valleys surrounding the loch, including the famous Ben Nevis. The pure
waters of Loch Linnhe are teeming with marine life; harbour seals may
be found among its faithful inhabitants.
Day
3 : Fort William
A
port town on the eastern shore of Loch Linnhe, Fort William is
sometimes described as the "Outdoor Capital of the UK."
Because it sits at the base of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the
British Isles, and is in close proximity to the dramatic landscape of
Glencoe, it is a popular destination for hikers and rock climbers. For
those looking for a less adventurous experience, the nearby Ben Nevis
Distillery offers tours and tastings, and Old Fort and Old Inverlochy
Castle are interesting historical sites.
Day
4 : Stornoway, Hebrides
Discover
Lewis, the largest island of the Hebrides, considered to be the cradle
of Gaelic culture. Here, the peat- and heather- covered valleys and
lochs stretch on to infinity, and numerous bird colonies have taken up
residence in the long, jagged coastlines where. Not far from Stornoway,
the island’s main town, built by the Vikings in the 9th
century stands one of Scotland’s most prominent prehistoric
sites: The Standing Stones of Callanish. Dating back to more than 3,000
years B.C., these imposing stones placed in a cruciform pattern were
laid out according to the moon and stars and their main purpose was to
keep track of seasonal cycles, as this was essential for farmers at the
time.
Day
5 : Suduroy Island, Faroe Islands
Suduroy
Island, literally “South Island”, has one of the
smallest populations in the Faroe Islands. It has sheer cliffs along
its western face. The island is an important breeding ground for
seabirds, including northern fulmars, black-legged kittiwakes, Atlantic
puffins, and guillemots. Your expedition team will guide you as you
discover the island, its authentic villages with black, tarred-wood
churches typical of the Faroe Islands, and its hiking trails lined with
peat fields and stone sheepfolds. Sheep are indeed omnipresent
throughout the Faroe Islands — in fact, there are more sheep
than humans —, and they add to the charm of these wild
landscapes.
Day
6 : Streymoy Island, Faroe Islands
Streymoy
Island is the largest and most populated of the Faroe Islands, with
22,500 inhabitants. Lying between Scotland and Iceland, the 18-island
Danish archipelago boasts natural wonders that will fascinate lovers of
the great outdoors. Here, the hilly green landscapes stand in contrast
with the huge basalt cliffs and the invigorating air shifts with the
moods of the ocean. To the north, the small village of Saksun, with its
traditional grass-covered rooftops, has 14 inhabitants. In the curve of
a magnificent natural amphitheatre, it overlooks a fjord with a lagoon:
an idyllic setting in a secluded and peaceful environment. To the west,
in Vestmanna, myriad birds nest in the crags along the eroded and
vertiginous cliff faces.
Day
6 : Sailing along Faroe Islands Coasts
The
Faroe Islands, an archipelago formed by volcanic rock, reveal an
incredible diversity of reliefs where the sea is ubiquitous:
you’ll sail past stone pinnacles and unique coastlines. To
the west of the island of Vagar stand Thindolmur and Drangarnir, rocky
outcrops that marine erosion have detached from the coast, thus forming
independent islets known as stacks. The impressive Traelanipa cliff,
also known as Slave Cliff, stands 142 metres (466 feet) high. It
overlooks the superb Lake Sorvagsvatn. Located 30 metres (98 feet)
above sea level, this is the archipelago’s largest lake. On
the island of Streymoy, you’ll be able to spot guillemots,
screeching fulmars or penguins, nesting in the welcoming crevices of
the Vestmanna cliffs.
Day
7 : Streymoy Island, Faroe Islands
Streymoy
Island is the largest and most populated of the Faroe Islands, with

in Vestmanna, myriad birds nest in the crags along the eroded and
vertiginous cliff faces.
Day
8 : Djúpivogur
Djúpivogur
is a small town and municipality located on a peninsula in the
Austurland in eastern Iceland. The coastline consists of three
magnificent fjords, Berufjörður,
Hamarsfjörður, and
Álftafjörður which create a striking
landscape to explore. On land, the town is shadowed by
Búlandstindur, a pyramid-shaped basalt mountain peaking at
1069 m, making for an incredible sight. Numerous local legends surround
this mountain, which is said to grant wishes during the summer solstice.
Day
9 : Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar
This
land seated off the southern coast of Iceland is the largest of the
Vestmann islands, and is the only inhabited island in the archipelago.
The steep Edfell volcanoes and the green prairies of
Herjólfsdalur offer rich contrast of nature. On the
Stórhöfði road, look out over grey sand
beaches and cliffs carved out by the Arctic ocean. From here, you can
also see the bronze landscapes of the mountaintops. You could visit
Eldheimar, an ultra-modern and interactive museum which traces the
volcanic eruption has experienced Heimaey in 1973.
Day
9 : Sailing around Surtsey Island
A
small drop of basalt in the North Atlantic Ocean, Surtsey is a volcanic
island formed by a submarine eruption that lasted from 1963 to 1967,
off the Westman Islands to the south of Iceland. The island is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. To protect its virgin ecosystem against human
presence, it is forbidden to land there. Only a few scientists have
access to Surtsey to study the plant and animal colonisation of the
island. Mosses, fungi and lichens were followed by vascular plants.
Around 300 invertebrate species and 90 bird species have gradually
colonised it. While sailing around Surtsey, you will enjoy a unique
panorama of this extraordinary island’s contours.
Day
10-11 : Reykjavík
Iceland’s
capital stretches along the edge of a vast bay in the west of the
country. Perlan, the “Pearl of
Reykjavík”, a museum located on
’Oskjuhlið hill, offers a panoramic view of the lush,
green landscapes. A little further, one can easily spot the signpost
showing the way to the evangelical Hallgrímskirkja church,
and to the historical centre where one can stroll along the
Skólavördustígur and the Laugavegur, two
lively streets with charming small shops. For some relaxation just
outside of the city, visitors have the opportunity to visit the
Reykjanes peninsula and its famous thermal lagoons of the Blue Lagoon.
