4 countries
10 ports
We follow the crinkled coastlines of five countries on this trip across Northern Europe. Leaving behind the canals of Copenhagen, we head to Sweden’s west-coast town of Lysekil, framed by red-hued cliffs, before crossing to Kristiansand in Norway, with its wooden houses and white-sand beaches. Next, we visit two more Norwegian ports: Haugesund, with its Viking history and coastal walks, and Bergen, gateway to magnificent fjords and mountains. A day at sea brings us to Scotland and a trio of its islands – the Shetlands, Orkneys and Isle of Lewis – for dramatic landscapes, and, of course, a dram or two. We call at Greencastle, on the Irish coast, before finally arriving in Liverpool to enjoy all that this former European Capital of Culture has to offer.

Copenhagen, Denmark

CPH

jul 16, 2026

departure 9:00 PM

Copenhagen, Denmark picture
Capital of the “World's Happiest Country,” Copenhagen is known for its colorful buildings, busy canals and cozy ambience. In this charming city, you can stroll the Tivoli Gardens, visit museums or join the cycling culture by touring on two wheels.

02.

Lysekil, Sweden

jul 17, 2026

9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

5 EXCURSIONS

Lysekil, Sweden picture
This west coast harbor, where the Gullmarsfjorden meets the sea, is a favorite haunt of Swedes, who come here to reconnect with the great outdoors and feast on oysters, mussels and other shellfish plucked from the bountiful local waters. While Lysekil built its fortunes on fishing, especially the herring shoals that patrol the Bohuslän coast, someone had the bright idea of promoting the virtues of the salty air and sea in the mid-19th century and turned this place into a fashionable health resort. You can still take a restorative dip in one of the baths, a later edition of the original Kallbadhuset. Overlooking it all is the neo-Gothic church cut from this coast's distinct pink granite.

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

6 EXCURSIONS

Kristiansand, Norway picture
Situated on the southern tip of Norway about four hours from Oslo, Kristiansand is the country's fifth-largest city and a top vacationer's destination. No wonder: Kristiansand's water-surrounded setting, many parks and museums, family-friendly zoo and vibrant shopping scene bring culture-minded visitors and outdoors enthusiasts together in happy coexistence. A walk in Posebyen, Kristiansand's old town, offers a look at one of Northern Europe's largest collections of characteristic wooden buildings, while the fish quay presents one of Norway's best fish markets and great dining options. If you can bear to pull yourself away from Kristiansand's narrow streets and wide appeal, a boat trip across the waterway brings you to Lillesand, an immaculate town with charming alleyways and a pretty waterfront.

Haugesund, Norway

jul 19, 2026

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

10 EXCURSIONS

Haugesund, Norway picture
Steeped in Viking history and surrounded by shimmering lakes and jade-green forests, Haugesund is a young, vibrant city easily explored on foot. The region's tempestuous past can be discovered at the state-of-the-art Viking Planet Digital Museum, while the city's clutch of world-class art galleries offers a glimpse of contemporary Norwegian life. Haraldsgata – a long, pedestrianized street lined with traditional Norwegian clapboard houses converted into cafés, boutiques and bars – is the place to pick up classic Scandi knitwear and gifts before a seafood lunch on the quayside, overlooking the tranquil Smedasundet Sound.

Bergen, Norway

jul 20, 2026

8:00 AM - 11:00 PM

11 EXCURSIONS

Bergen, Norway picture
Mother Nature pulses through Bergen's veins. The pretty little town is flanked by a mesmerizing canvas of fjords, mountains, and waterways which must be seen to be believed, and cast in the shadow of majestic Mount Fløyen, and visitors who are not afraid of heights should enjoy sweeping views of the valley via the Fløibanen funicular. Bergen is everything you would expect it to be: colorful fishing huts dot the landscape while the vibrant Fish Market, perhaps the beating heart of the town, is where visitors immerse in the flavors of fresh seafood and local produce. Traditional dishes like `klippfisk` and `smørbrød` reveal a deep connection to coastal resources, and are very tasty to boot! Once you have had your fill of sensational landscapes and traditional food, then take a stroll to iconic Bryggen Wharf—a UNESCO World Heritage Site adorned with vibrantly hued Hanseatic buildings, echoing tales of centuries-old maritime trade.

The bustling harbor reflects Lerwick's maritime heritage, where fishing boats and yachts create a lively ambiance. Be sure to venture beyond the town, and immerse yourself in the captivating landscapes of the Orkney Islands —ancient standing stones, dramatic cliffs, and pristine beaches are all within reach.

Kirkwall, United Kingdom picture
A place of contrasts and balance, Kirkwall offers the high points of a large Scottish city – stellar local shopping and impressive historical sites like the St. Magnus Cathedral and ruins of the Bishop's Palace and Earl's Palace – as well as the charms of a small village. It is a relatively quiet ferry landing town that is also an excellent example of an ancient Norse settlement, making Kirkwall itself a living museum.

Beautifully situated on the seafront, overlooking a magnificent harbor, Stornoway is considered by many to be in one of the most picturesque regions in Scotland.

12 EXCURSIONS

Greencastle (Londonderry), United Kingdom picture
When a place is called Greencastle, it creates certain expectations. These are amply met by this charming fishing port on Ireland's Inishowen peninsula, where first impressions reveal verdant scenery all around, and a closer look unearths the eponymous, medieval castle, a substantial ruin overlooking Carlingford Lough. For those staying in the area, gems nearby include Inishowen Maritime Museum & Planetarium and sheltered Kinnagoe Bay, one of many stunning beaches on County Donegal's wild and windswept coast. Many visitors, however, will want to make a beeline for Londonderry, a storied city once blighted by The Troubles (Northern Ireland conflict), but now a United Nations International City of Peace. There is much to explore here, from the walkable 400-year-old City Walls, the Museum of Free Derry and Bloody Sunday Memorial, to the striking, large-scale street murals and magnificent Peace Bridge.
