Mystic Northern Lights – Reykjavik & Lerwick

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 11 nights from Hamburg on July 2, 2027, visiting Lerwick, Reykjavik, Isafjordur, Akureyri and Kirkwall. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Raw volcanic landscapes, whale-watching off the coast, and light that never quite goes away in summer. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Preziosa has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 11 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 11-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
