British Isles Explorer: Viking Ocean

As the late summer sun casts its golden glow over the North Atlantic, I invite you to embark on a journey that is as much about timeless history as it is about breathtaking natural beauty.

In August 2027, I am delighted to offer you a place aboard the award-winning Viking British Isles Explorer. This 15-day odyssey travels from the dramatic fjords of Bergen, Norway, to the historic maritime heart of London (Greenwich), weaving through the most iconic and remote corners of the British Isles.

• Bergen & The Shetlands: Begin in Norway’s "Gateway to the Fjords" before sailing to the rugged Shetland Islands, where rolling moors and wild ponies await.
• Scotland’s Royal Heritage: Experience the majesty of Edinburgh and the historic charm of Invergordon.
• The Pulse of Liverpool: Walk the streets that birthed the Beatles and explore the cultural energy of this legendary port city.
• Celtic Soul: Discover the literary history of Dublin, the serene peaks of Snowdonia in Wales, and the ancient landscapes of Belfast.
• Grand Finale in London: Conclude with an overnight stay in Greenwich, allowing you to soak in London’s maritime legacy at your own pace.

Designed for the "thinking traveler," this voyage includes:

• 12 Guided Tours: One in every port of call to ensure you truly connect with the local culture.
• Cultural Enrichment: Onboard lectures from Resident Historians covering the Vikings, the Hanseatic League, and the rich tapestry of British history.
• All-Inclusive Value: Your fare includes all onboard meals (including specialty restaurants), beer and wine with lunch and dinner, 24-hour room service, and entry to the Nordic-inspired spa.

• Route: Bergen to London (Greenwich)
• Duration: 15 Days | 6 Countries | 12 Guided Tours
• Date: August 2027

Booking within a group offers you discounted costs, a dedicated trip planner (yours truly), and an adventure with friends old and new. There is no better time to secure your preferred stateroom for 2027. Whether you wish to explore Highclere Castle (of Downton Abbey fame) via a pre-cruise extension or simply want to watch the British coastline drift by from your private veranda, I would be honored to handle every detail for you.
