Day 1: Aberdeen, Scotland
Begin Your AdventureBoard the Ocean Endeavour for an evening departure after enjoying some self-guided exploration in Aberdeen.
Many of the historic stone buildings here are made of locally quarried granite; high in mica, they can sparkle like silver.
The city is also famed for its forty-five parks, gardens, and floral displays. Though it is now a modern city, Aberdeen retains its old-world charm.

Day 6–7: Western Faroe Islands
Soak in Dramatic Mountains & WaterfallsTravel to the northwestern shores of Eysturoy and Streymoy islands, perfect for hiking, birding, and photography.
You’ll love these charming villages connected by high-tech tunnels through mountains and beneath the ocean floor, a unique and startling infrastructure feature of the Faroes.
Take the perfect photo at the Múlafossur waterfall in Gásadalur, a small village home to about twenty people reached via one such tunnel—but look for the old switchback trail over the mountain, once used by the local postman when this village was only accessible by foot!

Day 8: Mykines Island
Delight in Excellent BirdwatchingMake a stop at Mykines, the westernmost of the Faroe Islands and a geological marvel, where great columns of basalt tower thirty metres above the ocean.
Enjoy excellent birdwatching on the islet of Mykineshólmur, connected by a forty-metre footbridge to the western end of Mykines, famed for its sea stacks and a lighthouse dating to 1909.
The island has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International.

Marvel at Volcanic LandscapesWitness geology in action at Vestmannaeyjar, lying off the south coast of Iceland and comprised of fourteen islands, numerous rocks, and skerries.
Learn about the compelling history of this volcanically active area that has experienced two major eruptions in recent times.
1963 saw the formation of the island of Surtsey and the Eldfell eruption ten years later destroyed much of Heimaey, the largest of the Vestmannaeyjars.
Enjoy a beautiful Zodiac cruise searching for the numerous species of seabirds that nest in the steep rock faces along the ocean cliffs here.
