Belfast Sailing on Loch Linnhe Fort William
Located in the Scottish Highlands, Loch Linnhe stretches between the Isle of Mull and Fort William.... see+ Sail through picturesque landscapes and admire the formations of the magnificent mountains and green valleys that surround the loch - including the famous Ben Nevis.

A port town nestling on the eastern shore of Loch Linnhe, Fort William is often described as the “outdoor capital of the UK”. This is partly because the town sits at the base of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles (1,345 m), but also because of its proximity to the spectacular scenery of Glencoe, a popular destination for hikers and climbers. The city, named after William of Orange, also boasts an exceptional historical heritage, with must-see sites such as the Old Fort and Inverlochy Castle.

Activities

Rural East Iceland
Enjoy this unique introduction to Icelandic daily life under the watchful eye of Europe’s largest glacier, the majestic Vatnajökull. Board your coach for a 2.5-hour ride to the Hoffellsjökull glacier. Hoffellsjökull reached its largest extent around... see+ 1890. A few years later, trucks were driven here to load ice, which was then transported to the town of Höfn. The ice was used to cool fish, both on fishing boats and on land. The area around the glacier is home to several rare Icelandic plants and a wide variety of birds. Enjoy a 30-minute stop in this tranquil setting to explore the area on your own.

Next, head to the local riding club at Stekkholl, where you will admire a private equestrian show. The Icelandic horse is the only breed with five gaits: walk, trot, gallop, tölt, and pace, each with its own amplitude and speed variations. Icelandic pastries will be served after the show. Then, board your coach for the return trip to the fishing village of Höfn. Along the way, enjoy a photo stop with stunning views.

Upon arrival in Höfn, enjoy a guided walk through the picturesque and historic harbor area. Next, discover the exhibition at the information center managed by Vatnajökull National Park and at the Maritime Museum of Hornafjörður. Return to the ship.

This excursion involves walking on paved and gravel terrain. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes. This excursion includes 5 hours of scenic coach travel, including photo stops. Pre-bookings open about 2 months before departure and remain available until 7 days before the cruise starts, subject to availability. 
Included
Volcanic landscapes and Viking history
From the port, your route will take you along the enchanting lake of Kleifarvatn, one of the deepest in Iceland. A brief stop will allow you to admire the typical Icelandic landscapes, marked by cairns indicating ancient paths leading to the Reykjanes... see+ Peninsula.

You will then reach the geothermal lava fields of Krysuvik, a colorful place that stands in stark contrast to the sand and lava fields of the region. There, you will witness the power of steam jets escaping from the depths of the Earth's crust. You will traverse incredible landscapes dotted with multicolored natural pools and astonishing bubbling mud pots. After this visit, you will continue across the impressive volcanic plateau of Reykjanes.

The contrast of the landscape continues as we descend toward the sea, heading to a bay with emerald hues, then climbing back up through lava fields and lush meadows. You will make a brief stop at the bridge between the continents, where you will have the opportunity to step from the Eurasian tectonic plate to the North American tectonic plate.

You will then proceed to the small town of Njardvik and its recently opened Viking museum. This museum permanently displays the Islendingur (the Icelandic), an exact replica of a 23-meter-long Viking ship that could carry 70 crew members. This vessel was used in 2000 by its builder, Gunnar Eggertsson, to make a round trip to America, just as his ancestors did 1,000 years earlier.

You will then return to the port and your ship. For this moderately difficult excursion, we recommend wearing comfortable hiking shoes and bringing warm, waterproof clothing. Please note that the order of visits may be reversed.

Pre-booking opens approximately 2 months before departure and remains available until 7 days before the start of the cruise, subject to availability.
