Some of Europe's last remaining areas of wilderness are to be found in the North: the icy wastes of northern Scandinavia, the remote islands of Iceland and the Faroes, the lochs and glens of Scotland, and the pristine forests, islands and lagoons of the Baltic coast.

Our Insight
Northern Europe Expedition Cruises
Right on our doorsteps we have some of the most inspiring and spectacular scenery in the world, and a wealth of wildlife we imagine we would have to travel half the globe to see. As for the history, the myths, legends and stories of these ancient lands are magical.
The Scandinavian countries have a folklore all their own inspired by the long hours of summer sunshine and the dark and ominous winters. Remote regions peopled by ancient tribes, alongside trolls and reindeer, have tales and customs unique to themselves.
The spectacular Northern Islands battered by winter storms have an ethereal beauty all of their own, with stunning scenery, lush vegetation and crystal clear waters. Volcanic Iceland boasts steaming lava fields alongside glaciers, erupting volcanoes and huge icebergs.
Scotland and Ireland boast their own rugged coastlines with much to explore in these epic landscapes: serene coves, tiny islands, amazing rock formations and a rich cultural history are here in our own land.
Visiting the Baltic used to be all about St Petersburg, but there is so much more to this captivating region: amazing scenery, a rich history reaching back to the trading routes of Viking times, and so much art and literature inspired by the luminescence and enchantment of the region.
