The unique mysteries of Northern Europe call to your explorer spirit. Staying late in Tórshavn, there’s ample time to dive deep into the Viking heritage that abounds, from the village of Saksun to Kirkjubøur.

From Kilronan, the prehistoric fort of Dún Aonghasa beckons you to uncover the mysteries of ancient Ireland. While breathtaking landscapes are part of what makes the Dingle Peninsula special, it also holds a unique history and culture as one of the few places remaining where Gaelic is still widely spoken and old traditions live on. Don’t miss a visit to St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork, where Gothic spires reach for the skies, whispering tales of times gone by. Connect with the past like never before.

Here, a mix of Nordic and Danish architecture amid lush, grass scenery creates a quaint image of a picturesque destination. Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands capital city, holds a competitive tradition and spirit of sporting events, including housing the largest football stadium in the district. But the city also contains an artsy energy with the annual Tórshavn Jazz Festival that takes place every August. Among the many natural treasures of the Faroe Islands is the Bøsdalafossur waterfall, a cascade that flows from the Sørvágsvatn/Leitissvatn lake into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a glassy surface amid the rugged cliffs of the falls

Whether hiking with a group or taking a car up the path, the viewpoint from the top of Hálsur will take your breath away. For an easier dive into nature, enjoy a walk through the local park Viðarlundin uti i Grøv, complete with a picturesque bridge over a charming brook.

Stornoway (Isles of Lewis), Scotland
Arrives: Departs:
The harbor town of Stornoway is your gateway for an unforgettable adventure. Steeped in history and culture, ranging back thousands of years, you’ll find that Gaelic is spoken alongside English, and eagles and otters are as much residents as the locals. For a complete account of the social, cultural, archaeological, geological, and economic history of Stornoway, head to Museum nan Eilean. A drive along the west coast of the Isle of Lewis reveals the Neolithic standing stones at Callanish that are older and more impressive than Stonehenge.

National Geographic has called the Aran Islands “one of the world’s top island destinations” and the isle of Inishmore is a particularly beautiful location. Sitting within the island is the village of Kilronan, rife with Celtic history and culture. Scenes of windswept moors and rugged cliffs that drop into the sea create a dramatic landscape that invites you and your fellow explorers to connect with their awe-inspiring power.

Day 8
Dingle, Ireland
Arrives: Departs:
A surrounding scenery of rolling green hills, rugged cliffs and awe-inspiring mountain passes has made Dingle one of the most beautiful places on Earth, a sentiment echoed by National Geographic. While breathtaking landscapes are part of what makes the Dingle Peninsula special, it also holds a unique history and culture as one of the few places remaining where Gaelic is still widely spoken and old traditions live on. One of the shops keeping those customs alive is that of Lisbeth Mulcahy, a renowned designer weaver who creates bespoke pieces on traditional looms for an authentic piece of Irish artistry that will let you connect with the local community. At its heart, Dingle is a fishing village, which means fresh seafood abounds. Visit a local restaurant with fellow explorers for a break from your excursions and take your palate on a culinary adventure through fresh salmon, crab, scallops, bream, mussels, lobster and more.

Serene waters call out for a kayaking experience while green paths beckon for a hiking excursion. Strolling through the picture-perfect Lower Town Harbor, you walk the paths that Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Peter O’Toole did when they filmed the 1970s movie Under Milk Wood. Quayside cottages make Fishguard appear as if no time has passed at all, inviting you and other explorers to connect with local communities and discover the culture of Wales.
