Begin with an overnight stay in historic Aberdeen before setting sail across the North Sea to trace the pathways of Vikings and early settlers. Journey along Norway’s spectacular coast, marveling at snowcapped peaks and glittering glaciers, visiting archaeological and cultural landmarks, and sailing deep into iconic fjords flanked by sheer granite cliffs. From the prehistoric and Norse sites of the Shetland Islands to the medieval stave churches of the fjord country, this voyage blends natural splendor, human history, and warm Scandinavian hospitality at every turn.
