12 nights - Iceland's Natural Wonders - from/to Hamburg

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Hamburg on July 21, 2026 through Invergordon, Akureyri, Reykjavik and Kirkwall is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 4 port calls clustered in the middle. Castles, old pubs, and rough coastline. The British Isles show up differently at each port. Of the stops, Akureyri tends to be the one people talk about: The capital of North Iceland's endless summer. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 2 has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Hamburg itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
