10 days, one-way from Portsmouth UK to Reykjavik

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Portsmouth UK on August 27, 2026 visits Amsterdam, Leith (Edinburgh), Invergordon, Akureyri, Isafjordur and Reykjavik. You finish in Reykjavik. The 4 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. Crossing 3 borders through the Iceland: Netherlands, United Kingdom and Iceland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Reykjavik alone is worth the trip, The world's northernmost capital, startlingly cool. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Valiant Lady is part of the Virgin Voyages fleet. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
