Visitors are naturally drawn to the historic city center where you’ll find some of the world’s top art museums, including the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. And at Dam Square, the Amsterdam’s largest public square, you can tour the Royal Palace before continuing to t... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: Kirkwall **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM While the southernmost isles of Orkney closely straddle the northeast corner of the Scottish mainland, historically the archipelago (around 70 islands in all) and its people have had as much in common with Scandinavia as they have had with Scotland. In fact, until the 15th century, the Orkney Islands were politically part of Norway. Today the Orcadians are a fairly tight-knit and cooperative group of Scots—a rich community of artists and crofters (small-holding farmers), fisherfolk and thos... ### Day 4: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 5: Heimaey **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM This charming Arctic settlement of around 4,500 people (and millions of wild puffins) offers unique opportunities for sightseeing. The visually dramatic setting is particularly suited to photographers looking to capture memorable vistas. ### Day 6: Reykjavik **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM See dramatic evidence of Iceland's volcanic origins: geysers, hotsprings, vast fields of cooled lava. Swim in the naturally-warmed Blue Lagoon. ### Day 7: Reykjavik **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM See dramatic evidence of Iceland's volcanic origins: geysers, hotsprings, vast fields of cooled lava.

Located at the head of a 60-kilometer fjord—the country’s longest—and surrounded by snow-streaked mountains, Akureyri was originally settled in the 9th century and was first officially mentioned as a city in the 16th century. Today it boasts a population of around 17,000, a scenic harbor and an... ### Day 10: Djupivogur **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Djúpivogur, a quiet fishing village with fewer than 500 residents, sits on the eastern coast of Iceland and dates back to the days of the Vikings.

This is reflected in the archipelago's many archaeological sites, cultural events and a unique dialect that borrows heavily from Old Norse. Although economically driven by energy, in particular the North Sea oil industry and a growing number of wind farms, Shetland’s heritage of fishing and textile production lives on. Tradition also drives the islands’ main festivals, including the world-famous Viking... ### Day 14: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 15: Amsterdam **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM A stop in Amsterdam offers the chance to explore the sights of one of Europe’s most colorful, dynamic and historic cities—one with a well-earned reputation as a laid-back and inviting place for people of all stripes.
