Dive into the vibrant heart of Amsterdam, where bicycles outnumber cars and artistic masterpieces await around every corner. Tour the famed Rijksmuseum, cruise the iconic canals, or simply savor a stroopwafel in a cozy Dutch café. 

Tucked in the Scottish Highlands, Invergordon offers a peaceful escape with sweeping lochs, dramatic glens, and the possibility of spotting Nessie herself. Explore castles, sample fine whisky, and take in the rugged beauty that defines northern Scotland. 

 Crossing into Iceland, Akureyri invites you to its fjord-framed charm and geothermal wonders. Bathe in nature-heated pools, visit the botanical gardens, or venture to the otherworldly landscapes of Lake Mývatn and the Goðafoss waterfall. 

Tucked within dramatic fjords, Ísafjörður feels like a place time forgot. Experience authentic Icelandic village life, hike along cliffside trails, and learn about Viking and fishing heritage in one of the country’s most picturesque settings. 

 Your adventure culminates in Reykjavik, Iceland’s quirky, colorful capital. From the dramatic Hallgrímskirkja Church to the nearby Golden Circle, geysers, and glaciers, there’s no shortage of excitement to close your cruise in style.
