Viking Wake – Reykjavik, Qaqortoq & Halifax

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 18-night sailing leaves Rotterdam on August 3, 2027 and visits Cobh (Cork), Dublin and Belfast, with additional stops along the US & Canada East Coast. You finish in Boston. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 10 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 6 countries along the US & Canada East Coast coast: Ireland, United Kingdom, Iceland, Greenland, Canada and United States. Boston alone is worth the trip, Freedom Trail, clam chowder, and cobblestones. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Volendam has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Rotterdam itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
