Day 0 Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik, on the coast of Iceland, is the country's capital and largest city. It is the centre of culture and life of the Icelandic people as well as being one of the focal points of tourism in Iceland. For passengers spending time in the city there is a wide choice of museums, galleries, restaurants and cafes. Shooping is a must too and the ultimate relaxation experience is a trip to one of the city's thermal baths and pools.

Day 1 Heimaey Island, Iceland

Heimaey Island is the largest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago and the only one that is inhabited. It has a population of approximately 4,000 people, and fascinating, dark history. In January 1973, lava flow from nearby Eldfell destroyed half the town and threatened to close its harbour, its main income source. An operation to cool the advancing lava with seawater saved the harbour. Most people on the island live off fishing. During an annual festival, people are allowed to catch a few puffins to share at the festival, or to eat at home.

Day 2 Djupivogur, Iceland

Cruising to Djupivogur, Iceland.

Day 3 Seydisfjordur, Iceland

Seydisfjordur, made up of multicoloured wooden houses and surrounded by snowcapped mountains and cascading waterfalls obscenely picturesque, is the most historically and architecturally interesting town in East Iceland. It's also a friendly place with an international community of artists, musicians, craftspeople and students. Every visitor will enjoy outdoor activities like walkng, hiking and biking and especially snowshoeing.

Day 4 At Sea, At Sea

Wonderful day at Sea.

Day 5 Isle of Lewis, Scotland

Stornoway is the main town of the Western Isles and the capital of Lewis and Harris in Scotland. Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. Stornoway offers a warm welcome to anyone choosing to visit Lewis as part of their Outer Hebridean explorations. Strolling along the quay at Stornoway Harbour and hearing the shouts of the fishermen, visiting the historic Lews Castle and the adjoining Lews Castle Museum and Archive, a key cultural centre for Outer Hebrides heritage, are among things visitors can experience. The largest island of the Outer Hebrides, Lewis is the northern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The island is blessed with a diverse range of habitats many of which are rich in wildlife. Although Lewis is the most densely populated of the Western Isles, much of the population is centred in and around Stornoway.

Day 6 Oban, Scotland

Oban is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland. The area around Oban is rich with attractions for tourists, from the dramatic scenery of the coast and mountains to the fascinating histories of the local castles and ancient religious sites. There are also many activities available for families. Oban also makes a great base for touring the West Highlands. One of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, and certainly older than the town, Oban produces a stunning malt whisky that falls between the smokier drams of the islands and the sweeter nuances of the Highlands.

Day 7 Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital. If passing through as part of a cruise, be sure to head straight for the so-called Golden Mile, which runs from Belfast City Hall to Queen's University, and is where you'll find the majority of the city's historic attractions as well as its best bars, restaurants and cafes.

Day 8 Liverpool, England

The Port of Liverpool is 7.5 miles dock system that runs on the the River Mersey. Liverpool is a city with unique attractions, exciting events, legendary football clubs and a rich musical heritage that includes the Beatles, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and other groups from the Merseybeat era.

Day 9 Dublin, Ireland

Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland is steeped in Celtic legend, and is one of the liveliest and most historic cities in Europe. Among the many must-see highlights that the city offers is the National Museum of Ireland, which is spread out over several venues, each covering a different speciality. The famous Book of Kells can be seen in the Old Library at Trinity College, while the Christ Church Cathedral is Dublin's oldest building.

Day 10 Fishguard, Wales

Fishguard is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales. It is a typical fishing village with a short tidal quay. Fishguard is divided into two parts: the pretty Lower Town down on the harbour, all wooded slopes, pebbledashed cottages, slipways and seaweed and the main town up the hill, with fine sea views, whitewashed or brightly painted town houses and terraces.

Day 11 Falmouth, England

Falmouth is a seaside town in south Cornwall. With its sandy beaches, equable climate, and spacious harbour, Falmouth is a favoured holiday resort and yachting centre. It is also known for its fortress Pendennis Castle, Maritime Museum, Falmouth Art Gallery and waterside activities.

Day 12 Southampton, England

Known as the cruise capital of Europe, the Port of Southampton is a passenger and cargo port located in the central part of the south coast of England.
