Dublin
Mi., 16. Juli
Abfahrt 18:00
Atmospheric cobbled streets with buskers scraping fiddles and characterful pubs inviting passersby inside is Dublin in a snapshot. Horse-drawn carriages plod along cobbled centuries-old streets blending with an easy-going cosmopolitan outlook. Known for its fun-filled gathering of pubs any excuse works to enjoy a celebratory toast and chat among good company. Home to perhaps the world's most famous beer - slurp perfect pourings of thick dark Guinness - cranked out for the city's thirsty punters. Learn more of the humble pint's journey at the Guinness Storehouse. Dublin has come along way since the Vikings established a trading port here back in the 9th Century. In the time since the city became the British Empire's defacto second city and the Georgian imprint still adds oodles of historic character. Learn of 1916's Easter Uprising when the Irish rebelled and established their independence here as you visit the infamous haunting Kilmainham Gaol. The uprising's leaders were tried and executed in these dark confines. Dublin's St. Patrick's Cathedral has immense history below its steep spire which dates back to 1191. There's rich literary heritage to leaf through too and the city's streets were rendered vividly in James Joyce's classic Ullyses. The Museum of Literature celebrates the full scope of Dublin's lyrical talents. Trinity College also has a prestigious roll-call of alumni - visit to see the Book of Kells a beautifully illustrated bible of the medieval era.
Lunga
Do., 17. Juli
Ankunft 13:00
The stunning Isle of Lunga is the largest island in the Treshnish archipelago. With volcanic origin the isle was populated until the 19th Century and remains of black houses can be seen around this magnificent coastal jewel. Abundant plant life and exotic birdlife are now the main inhabitants of the area. Fortunate visitors view the magnificent array of birds especially the great puffins that breed on the islands plateau. One can sit within just a few feet away without disturbing the avian ambassador’s peace. The 81 hectare island is home to many rare and endangered plants such as primroses and orchids. Views over the landscape and across the ocean can be seen from the 300 foot high cliffs.
Shiant Islands, Scotland
Fr., 18. Juli
Ankunft 06:30
Cliffs of tall hexagonal columns create a sensational landscape at the Shiant Islands, especially when viewed from the sea. The cliffs of six-sided rock columns look like the cross-section of an enormous honeycomb. The rock formations were formed when molten volcanic magma cooled very slowly underground. Millions of years of erosion has exposed the six-sided columns to the sea, and to us. The tallest of these formations is 120 metres (390 feet) high. During spring and summer, flights of seabirds near the Shiant Islands catch the eye. Many long-winged seabirds wheel and soar gracefully. Others are more shaped for underwater swimming and fly in direct lines, beating stubby wings to resemble flying potatoes. Some birds nest in burrows while others, like Black-legged Kittiwakes, nest on cliffs. Rather than build nests, guillemots lay eggs on bare rock ledges. The pointed shape of the eggs ensures they roll in a tight circle, not off the ledge to the sea below. The Shiant Islands are part of the Outer Hebrides and located between the Isles of Lewis and Skye. Historically, they have supported families of sheep grazers who could tolerate a lonely island outpost. The Shiants were known as the last place in Britain where the Black Rat occurred in substantial numbers. Originally introduced to Britain from Asia in Roman times these rodents caused problems, eating eggs and chicks of seabirds. A successful eradication program eliminated the rats in 2016, giving the seabird colonies well-earned peace.
Loch Ewe
Fr., 18. Juli
Ankunft 13:30
Loch Ewe is the only north facing Loch in Scotland, with an interesting history and a fine scenic landscape this area has a true natural beauty. During WW2 the loch was a convoy collecting point with a strong naval presence; it was therefore protected by light and heavy aircraft guns, a boom net and mine defence system helped to shield this precious settlement. Loch Ewe is a natural deep water sea loch that links to the Atlantic Ocean with a relatively small mouth giving the loch a vast amount of protection from the weather. Nearby Inver ewe gardens thrive on the warm currents of the North Atlantic Drift to create an oasis of colour and fertility where exotic plants from many countries flourish on latitude more northerly than Moscow, giving an almost continual display of colour throughout the year.
Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland
Sa., 19. Juli
Ankunft 07:30
Modern Stromness hasn’t changed dramatically since the turn of the last century and stone houses still stand over cobbled streets, but Orkney’s main historic claim is the rich legacy of Neolithic sites and artefacts found here. It was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 under the title “Heart of Neolithic Orkney.” The most famous of these monuments is probably the settlement of Skara Brae, once a small village of 50-100 people living together near the shores of Skaill Bay. Occupied from roughly 3180 BCE-2500 BCE, the site has given us invaluable insight into the daily lives of our forebears, and Skara Brae forms the hub of a network of Neolithic sites across the Orkneys, many of which are still being excavated. Other sites include the standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar, situated on an isthmus between the sea loch of Stenness and the freshwater loch of Harray.
Sumburgh, Shetland Islands, Scotland
So., 20. Juli
Ankunft 06:30
Fair Isle, Scotland
So., 20. Juli
Ankunft 14:30
Lying mid-way between Shetland and the Orkney islands, Fair Isle is a tiny jewel in the sea. Famous for birds, knitwear and historic shipwrecks, the island offers a warm and friendly welcome to visitors. With a population of only around 70 people this island is truly a beautiful setting and is one of Britain’s most successful communities. View the cloudy light turquoise water as it drifts out to sea beneath the breath-taking Sheep Rock, rising over 100 metres, which is almost an isle of its own. Fair Isles oceanic climate brings stormy but fairly mild winters, in summer, you can expect rapid changes in the weather, sparkling sunshine can be followed by a thick blanket of mist and fog, and this makes the isle a truly inspiring area. Over the centuries the island has changed hands many times and was named the island of peace by Norse settlers. The isle has been a useful landmark for shipping but in storms and fog it is highly dangerous creating over 100 known shipwrecks such as the Spanish armada flag ship “El Gran Grifon”.
Bekkjarvik
Mo., 21. Juli
Ankunft 12:30
Rosendal
Di., 22. Juli
Ankunft 07:00
Rosendal, with its mountains and waterfalls,
is one of Norway’s more romantic villages. Cut off from the rest of the world
by high mountains and the Folgefonna National Park, and home to just 800 year
round inhabitants, to say the village is in a little world of its own is no
exaggeration!While Rosendal might lack for urban
excitement, you certainly couldn’t want to find a more beautiful setting.
Soaring mountains peaks, narrow winding fjords, impressive waterfalls and the
third largest glacier in Norway are all par for the norm here, as are
breathtaking glacier views and some of the freshest air you’ll ever experience.The village was famously a wedding present
to Ludvig Holgersen Rosenkrantz’s daughter in 1658. Rosenkrantz was the
wealthiest man in the country at the time, owning over 500 farms all over
western Norway. The great manor house built shortly after the wedding still
stands, along with beautifully maintained gardens that were added 300 years
later. The house is a wonderful reflection of the different periods styles of
the various illustrious owners and restoration has been painstakingly carried
out. The oldest rooms are still decorated as they were in the early 19th
century while the library is the only 17th century room in Norway kept in its
entirety, complete with the original rich French tapestry from the 1660’s.No visit to this little village would be
complete without a taste of local life. Pop into a tea shop for a traditional
griddlecake, enjoyed amid splendid waterfront views.
Cruise Lysefjord
Mi., 23. Juli
Ankunft 08:00
East of Stavanger, Lysefjord is the southernmost of Norway’s
biggest fjords. The ship will enter the narrow 42 kilometer long fjord between
Forsand and Oanes and will then pass under Lysefjordbrua, the only bridge
connecting the northern and southern sides. Bergsholmen and the adjacent islet
with Forsand lighthouse are the only obstacles in the fjord which in some parts
is as deep as the mountain cliffs on its side. The light granitic rocks on both
sides of the fjord are said to have given it its name “Light Fjord”. The
fjord’s cliffs, waterfalls and hardy trees are reflected in the calm waters,
yet while cruising through the fjord, hardly any houses will be seen, as the
shore provides only very limited farm area and the cliffs are just too steep. Two
of Norway’s famous viewpoints will be passed: on Lysefjord’s northern shore is the
604 meters vertical cliff of Preikestollen, while the southern shore shows Kjerak,
a mountain with a height of 1,100 meters. Kjerak has the famous Kjerakbolten, a
boulder stuck 894 meters above sea level in a mountain crevasse. Before
reaching Kjerak and eventually the end at Lysebotn, an old hydroelectric plant
is passed at Florli –its main attraction today is to climb one of the longest
wooden staircases in the world with more than 4400 steps running parallel to
the tubes which formerly brought down the water.
Day at sea
Do., 24. Juli
Ankunft 08:00
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax unwind and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale watching, catching up on your reading or simply topping up your tan these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shore side.
Copenhagen
Fr., 25. Juli
Ankunft 07:00
Effortlessly cool and down to earth, Copenhagen is a contemporary, clean and classy highlight of Scandinavia. A city built to be liveable, Copenhagen has refused to compromise, resulting in a forward-thinking metropolis that’s green and clean. Swim in the waters of Havnebadet Islands during summer, or shelter from winter’s bite by snuggling in beside a roaring open fire during winter. You can even hop on a train to Sweden, traversing the famous span of a Nordic Noir star - the Öresund Bridge. It takes just a touch over half an hour to step off the train in Malmö. There’s only one way to truly explore Copenhagen and that’s on two wheels. Easy bike hire schemes will get you moving across this flat city, designed with bikes at the forefront of the mind. Choose a model with electronic assistance to take the strain out of any journey, giving you the freedom to whizz around and explore the modern angular architecture of the centre, and the pastoral colours of Nyhavn waterfront. Head out to the Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale - the strikingly-restrained statue is the perfect landmark for Copenhagen; unshowy, self-assured and utterly irresistible. The Danish concept of hygge is very much alive here, and you’ll feel that warm cosy feeling as you visit cafes illuminated by the warm glow of hanging filament bulbs, and stuffed to the brim with thick, dusty books. Home to mega-brewer Carlsberg, Copenhagen is also a city for hop enthusiasts, and there is a thriving craft brewing scene to sample. Danish Smørrebrød sandwiches are a must try, or for something a little more substantial, settle in for a culinary voyage and try a taster menu – the city’s restaurants are littered with Michelin stars.
