Aurora’s Veil – Viking Fjords & Northern Lights

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Reykjavik on June 13, 2027 and visits Invergordon, Leith (Edinburgh) and Rotterdam, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. You wind up in Rotterdam, so it's worth planning a night or two there. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 7 port calls start. The route threads through 3 countries along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia coast: United Kingdom, Netherlands and Norway. Olden stands out. It's Glacier-fed turquoise waters in the fjords. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rotterdam has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Reykjavik 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. All in all, it's a solid trip.
