Epic Fjords & Horizons – Reykjavik to Southampton

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Reykjavik on July 8, 2027 visits Isafjordur, Akureyri and Ålesund, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia and doesn't try to cram in too much. You get off in Southampton, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 5 countries along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia coast: Iceland, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium and United Kingdom. Don't rush through IJmuiden (Amsterdam), which is known as Amsterdam's North Sea gateway. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 15 restaurants on Norwegian Prima, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. 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. 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 told, 8 ports across 10 nights covers a lot.
