ICELAND AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

 

    

 

 You can see the Northern lights between September and April in Iceland.  Will we see the Northern Lights?  We do not know, but the opportunity is there!

ICELAND

Reykjavik

Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Landnámabók, was established by Ingólfr Arnarson in 874 CE. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was officially founded in 1786 as a trading town and grew steadily over the following decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

If you can we recommend you come in to Reykjavik a couple of nights prior to the cruise and we will arrange tours, hotels, etc. to see more of Iceland before we join the cruise.

Isafjordur

The town of Isafjordur is considered the honorary capital of the Westfjords. Being the largest town and the major commercial center in the area, it has a charming vibrancy with a thriving harbor, lively city center, world-class dining and swanky cafés. Settled in the 16th century, Isafjordur is located on the spit of Skutulsfjordur fjord and owes it’s existence to rich fishing grounds just off the coast.  The town boasts a lovely old center with some of the finest and most beautifully restored timber buildings in the country. With its colorful narrow streets and old buildings, Isafjordur has a warm and inviting feeling to it.  Due to the town’s location surrounded by steep mountains, early mornings and late afternoons are usually without wind. Which is a nice change from Iceland being very windy in general. The locals have a saying that calm weather has permanent residence in Isafjordur!

Akureyri

  

Akureyri is a city at the base of Eyjafjörður Fjord in northern Iceland. In the center, the 1940 Akureyri Church has stained-glass windows portraying scenes from Icelandic Christian history. There are views of the fjord from the forecourt. Nearby, the Akureyri Art Museum displays contemporary art from Iceland and farther afield. To the south are the Botanical Gardens, with specimens from across Iceland.

NORWAY

We then travel to Norway, which is like Alaska on steroids.  It will be amazing to visit this wonderful country.

Alesund

  

 

Ålesund is a port town on the west coast of Norway, at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord. It’s known for the art nouveau architectural style in which most of the town was rebuilt after a fire in 1904, as documented at the Jugendstilsenteret museum. There are panoramic views of Ålesund’s architecture, the surrounding archipelago and fjords from the Mount Aksla lookout.

Geiranger Fjord

 

  

The deep blue UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord is surrounded by majestic, snow- covered mountain peaks, wild waterfalls and lush, green vegetation.  The Norwegian fjords are on so many bucket lists exactly because they deserve to be there. The fjords are one of the most stunning natural phenomenons in the world – but the Geirangerfjord in Geiranger is considered to be one of the most beautiful fjords for good reason.

Bergen

Bergen is a city on Norway’s southwestern coast. It's surrounded by mountains and fjords, including Sognefjord, the country’s longest and deepest. Bryggen features colorful wooden houses on the old wharf, once a center of the Hanseatic League's trading empire. The Fløibanen Funicular goes up Fløyen Mountain for panoramic views and hiking trails. The Edvard Grieg House is where the renowned composer once lived. 

 

NETHERLANDS

Amsterdam

  

  

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are numerous bike paths.

 

Zeebrugge, Brussels Brugge

  

 

Zeebrugge, joined to its historical mother city Bruges by the Baudouin Canal, is a seaport and seaside resort with potential. An international port, a family beach resort and the 'capital of fish' – that is Zeebrugge in a nutshell.  Bruges crafts some of the most luxurious lace in the world. Pop into one of the lace shops dotted around the city to buy a lace souvenir, or better yet visit the Lace Centre to learn more about the history of lace in Bruges.

SOUTHAMPTON LONDON

  

  

Southampton has its own distinctive character with a rich maritime heritage and a focus on water sports, sailing and ocean racing, as well as being one of the most important ports in the UK. Southampton is also the major port for cruise ships and was one of the 4 shortlisted locations for the 2025 UK City of Culture.  The distance between Southampton and the centre of London is around 80 miles (130km). The fast direct trains between London's Waterloo Station and Southampton have a journey time of around 1 hour 20 minutes.  If you decide to extend your time in the United Kingdom you can spend some extra time in London or other cities and sites.

This ship has 8 Specialty Restaurants, but they also have the complimentary Indulge Food Hall, which is new to their fleet. Open for all three meals, the fabulous spot offers a choice of international cuisine all available to order digitally from your table. Simply click on what dishes you want, place your order, and seemingly in minutes, your delicious food is delivered to your table. Top picks were the Australian lamb chops and tenderloin from the Seaside Rotisserie. Other cuisines at Indulge include Indian, Latin, Italian, and barbecue. A variety of desert is on display for your picking. Coco’s within Indulge features upscale specialty chocolate and Instagram-worthy ice cream sundaes and shakes for an extra charge.  Indulge’s space itself is super cool with indoor and outdoor seating — plus intimate nooks perfect for private relaxation.

 

 

    

  

 

Prima has incredible new features in entertainment. You can get your adrenaline racing by taking a ride at the Prima Speedway, the first three-story racetrack at sea, or heading down The Drop, the first free-fall dry slide on a ship, which plummets 10 stories. Head to the Galaxy Pavilion for virtual fun on racing simulators, an escape room, or to perfect your swing at the golf simulator. The Bull’s Eye offers private areas with dart boards. At The Stadium, you can play pickleball, foosball, tabletop shuffleboard, high-tech miniature golf, and even beer pong (yes, really). And, of course, there is always the casino for gaming of a different sort. 

  

There is no way to truly show you how amazing this ship is.  You Tube has videos of this ship and I recommend you look at some of them to see this ship.
