Expedition voyage following in the wake of the Vikings from Denmark to Scotland
Duration: 6 days
Starts: Copenhagen, Denmark
Ends: Aberdeen, Scotland
Language: English speaking voyage
Join on this expedition cruise across the North Sea, embarking from a pier in central Copenhagen. You will visit the small scenic town of Skagen, at the pointed ‘top’ of Denmark where many famous Danish artists once resided together in an artists’ colony. Continuing into open sea, a call is made to the west coast of Norway, a stronghold for fierce Viking warlords over a thousand years ago. The Viking Sagas tell that Haugesund was the burial place of Harald, the first Viking king. You will make a visit to his monument in this quaint seaside town. You continue in the historical Viking slipstream across the sea towards the British Isles, whilst imagining how these brilliant skippers braved and navigated the same waters towards the unknown.
The Shetland Islands, like neighbouring Orkney, was once ruled by Vikings. They came across the North Sea with a reputation as fearsome warriors, but surprisingly they settled down and became farmers for the next 500-600 years, leaving a lasting imprint of Norse placenames, daily expressions, and traditions.

When traveling in extremely remote regions, your expedition staff must allow the sea, the ice and the weather to guide route and itinerary details. This itinerary is a tentative outline of what you’ll experience on this voyage; please be aware that no specific itinerary can be guaranteed.
