What Sets This Journey Apart

Reconnect with your sense of wonder as you explore some of Northern Europe’s most breathtaking landscapes, from Iceland’s volcanic shores to Norway’s dramatic fjords and Belgium’s storybook streets. Sailing in the region’s early aurora season gives you real chances to look for the Northern Lights on clear, dark nights, always with the understanding that nature decides when the sky will glow.

Along the way, you’ll gather a season’s worth of “remember when…” moments, such as:

• Spotting a soft green glow on the horizon as the aurora begins to appear.

• Sinking into steamy geothermal pools after a day of exploration.

• Sharing laughter and stories over dinner with fellow travelers who soon feel like friends.

Expect:

• Easy camaraderie and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere on board.

• A deeper appreciation for the landscapes, history, and everyday life of Iceland, Norway, and Belgium.

• The kind of connection that comes from experiencing these places up close, rather than only seeing them on a map.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1 - Reykjavik, Iceland

There's a good reason that Iceland is considered a photographer's dream destination. Its terrain is visually stunning, offering views of lava flows, hot springs, unspoiled nature – and colorful, fascinating cities like Reykjavik. The world's most northerly capital brings together quaint villages, exciting museums, a flourishing music scene and restaurants that rival Europe's finest.

Day 2 - Isafjordur, Iceland

As the largest town in Iceland’s remote Westfjords’s region, Ísafjörður is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. Boasting an enchanting fjord ideal for watersports and a mountainous landscape brimming with opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Originally a church site and a 16th century trading post, the town of Ísafjörður is home to wonderful museums and historic sites for those wishing to learn about the region’s rich heritage and local culture.

Day 3 - Akureyri, Iceland

Nestled along the shores of one of the most breathtaking fjords in Iceland, Akureyri is the nation’s second largest urban area and a center of Icelandic folk culture. Visit the museums, hike along the extraordinary vistas or explore the botanical gardens. Shop in one of the charming boutiques and then catch a glimpse of the most northerly 18-hole golf course in the world. After you’ve worked up an appetite, feast on some Nordic specialties like smoked lamb and fresh fish and then indulge in an Icelandic fried pastry.

Day 4 - About At Sea Day (Cruising)

Discover a sea of experiences on Norwegian Prima. Get your game on in Galaxy Pavilion or swoosh down the fastest dry slides at sea. Take your taste buds on a delicious journey at Indulge Food Hall, or enjoy dinner with a view through floor-to-ceiling windows at Hudson's, one of two complimentary main dining rooms. And when the sun goes down, the lights come up in Prima's three-story theatre and nightclub.

Day 5 - Alesund, Norway

One of Norway's most beautiful towns, renowned for its Jugend-style architecture and art nouveau style. Cruise visitors will immediately notice Alesund's unique layout, as it is built on islands extending to the sea, and offers scenic views of fjords and the Sunnmore Alps. Alesund is the fishing capital of Norway.

Day 6 - Flåm, Norway

Situated deep within the valleys of Norway, Flåm is a nature lovers' escape. The towering mountain cliffs and sweeping waterfalls are a pure splendor. The Flåm Railway is a point of interest and so are the various fjord sightseeing tours.

Day 7 - Bergen, Norway

View this lovely and charming Norwegian city from your cruise ship and you'll see how the city is nestled between seven mountains, seven fjords and the North Sea. The Norwegian King resided here, and many historical events took place in this busy port. These events come alive when you amble down the old streets of Bryggen, past picturesque, wooden buildings and the Romanesque-style St. Mary's church. Explore more of Bergen on a European cruise!

Day 8 - About At Sea Day (Cruising)

Day 9 - Amsterdam (Ijmuiden), Netherlands

History, culture and architecture intertwine in Amsterdam among its narrow lanes and numerous canals. Featuring more bridges than Venice, enjoying a canal tour is a great way to take in the many sights of Amsterdam (and get some great photo ops). Art lovers won’t want to miss the Van Gough Museum and the Rijksmuseum while history buffs will want to make time for the Anne Frank House and the Amsterdam Museum.

Day 10 - Brussels / Bruges (Zeebrugge), Belgium

The ultimate European city, Brussels has tons of museums, fountains, gardens and great shopping. Stroll the Old Town area to see St. Hubert Arcades and its shops, as well as Butchers' Street with its plethora of restaurants and cafes and the Grand Place with its Baroque guild houses.

Day 11 - London (Southampton), United Kingdom

Protected from the frequent storms of the English Channel by the Isle of Wight, Southampton has survived a turbulent history to serve as a principal port of the United Kingdom today. Pay homage to one of the most famous ships to sail these shores at the Mayflower Memorial. Visit the stoic walls of Bargate and the Tudor House Museum.

Docking early in Southampton (common for "London" itineraries), explore Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, or Stonehenge easily—overnight stay allows flexibility
