Basalt & Heather – Westfjords, Orkney & Edinburgh

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 10 nights from Reykjavik on June 15, 2027, visiting Isafjordur, Akureyri and Seydisfjordur, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. The sailing ends in Southampton. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The British Isles & Western France route takes in Iceland, United Kingdom and Belgium, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Seydisfjordur: A rainbow road to a fjord-side village. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Regal Princess keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Reykjavik before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 8 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
