Mystic Nordic & Isles – Reykjavik to Southampton

About this cruise

You board in Reykjavik on May 21, 2026 for 10 nights visiting Isafjordur, Akureyri and Måløy, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You wind up in Southampton, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The 3 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. The route threads through 3 countries along the British Isles & Western France coast: Iceland, Norway and United Kingdom. Isafjordur stands out. It's Deep in the Westfjords, far from everything. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Star, 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
