Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Reykjavik
Depart 18:00
Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, distils the entire improbable beauty of Iceland into one compact, creatively charged city. The soaring basalt columns of Hallgrímskirkja dominate a skyline of primary-coloured rooftops, while the Harpa Concert Hall shimmers beside the harbour like a captured aurora. Day trips from the city unlock the Golden Circle's geysers and Geysir hot spring, the black sand beaches of Vík, and the ethereal glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón. Geothermal pools — from the legendary Blue Lagoon to intimate neighbourhood hot pots — offer warmth year-round. June and July bring the bewitching midnight sun.
Day 2
Day 2
Isafjordur
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Ísafjörður is the cultural and historical capital of Iceland's remote Westfjords, a dramatic fjord-side settlement where centuries of fishing heritage meet stark Arctic grandeur. Visitors should not miss the communal seafood feast at Tjöruhúsið restaurant and a journey to the surreal red sands of Rauðasandur beach near Patreksfjörður. The optimal visiting window is June through August, when nearly perpetual daylight illuminates the encircling mountains and the town's vibrant cultural calendar reaches its peak.
Day 3
Day 3
Siglufjørdur - høfn
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Siglufjordur is a dramatically situated fjord town on Iceland's northern coast, once the herring capital of the North Atlantic, now home to the award-winning Herring Era Museum and an annual Folk Music Festival. Visitors should explore the immersive museum, taste Arctic char and local craft beer, and hike the mountain trails enclosing the fjord. June and July bring near-continuous daylight and the music festival.

Day 5
Day 5
Torshavn
Arrive 09:00Depart 18:00
Torshavn, Faroe Islands is a distinctive port city where deep cultural heritage meets authentic local atmosphere, featured on itineraries by HX Expeditions. Must-do experiences include exploring the historic quarter to absorb centuries of architectural heritage, and sampling the distinctive northern cuisine that transforms local ingredients into refined dining experiences. The optimal time to visit is June through August, when summer months bring the warmest temperatures and longest days.
Day 6
Day 6
Lerwick
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Lerwick, capital of Scotland's Shetland Islands, is a captivating Norse-Scottish harbour town renowned for its seventeenth-century granite waterfront, Viking heritage, and pristine maritime larder of wind-dried reestit mutton and hand-dived scallops. Visitors should explore the lodberries along Commercial Street and the award-winning Shetland Museum at Hay's Dock. The optimal season is late May through August, when near-perpetual daylight — the famous "simmer dim" — bathes the islands in an ethereal golden glow and seabird colonies along the cliffs reach their spectacular peak.
Day 7
Day 7
Edinburgh
Arrive 13:00Depart 23:00
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a historic port city renowned for its stunning architecture and rich cultural heritage. Must-do experiences include exploring the iconic Edinburgh Castle and indulging in traditional dishes like haggis and Cullen skink. The best season to visit is during the summer, when the city comes alive with festivals and outdoor events.

Day 9
Day 9
Southampton
Arrive 07:00
Southampton, England's storied ocean liner capital on the southern coast, carries an indelible maritime identity — this is the port from which the Titanic departed and from which the Queen Mary 2 still sails in grandeur today. The medieval Bargate and City Walls speak to a history stretching back to Roman times, while the SeaCity Museum tells the story of the great liners with moving intimacy. Day excursions reach Winchester's magnificent cathedral, the stately rooms of Beaulieu, and the primeval wilderness of the New Forest — where ancient ponies still roam freely. Spring and summer offer the most pleasant conditions for exploring the region.
