Basalt & Glacier Run – Bergen to Reykjavik

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 Rotterdam on August 8, 2027 and visits Eidfjord, Hellesylt and Ålesund, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. Disembarkation is in Reykjavik. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Northern Europe & Scandinavia: Norway, United Kingdom and Iceland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Reykjavik, The world's northernmost capital, startlingly cool. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rotterdam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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 one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
