Day 1 - Reykjavik, Iceland

Arrive: Fri 30 June 2028

Feel the magnetic lure of adventure at the world’s northernmost capital. Mystical landscapes promise dramatic snow-capped volcanoes, ice fields and mountains for thrilling quests; explore by helicopter, ride Icelandic horses, zip through lava tunnels on super trucks and rocket across glaciers on snow scooters. Then slow down to visit a geothermal-fired bakery and greenhouse, soak in wellbeing springs, the blue lagoon or refresh at the nearby face mask bar. And as the nightlife beckons under the sun that barely sets, drink black death schnapps as a poetic reminder of Reykjavik’s exhilarating activities.

Day 2 - Reykjavik, Iceland

Arrive: Mon 03 July 2028 at 09:00 / Depart: Mon 03 July 2028 at 18:00

Head to a far-off land in the Outer Hebrides, where unique culture awaits you at one of Britain’s best kept secrets. Spot seals and whales from breathtaking beaches and dramatic headlands that fringe miles of peat-covered moorland. Visit Lews Castle, the prehistoric Standing Stones at Callandish, learn the art of weaving or crofting and enjoy peat-smoked scallops or battered fish and chips. And as you admire your new hand-woven Harris tweed jacket, bid farewell to authentic Gaelic values, and the fabulously iconic long-haired cattle.

Day 5 - Oban, Scotland, UK

Arrive: Tue 04 July 2028 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 04 July 2028 at 17:00

Explore the majestic horseshoe bay of the Scottish seafood capital. Built around a former distillery, you'll discover the town's trade history, homemade chocolate, a bustling seafront, small galleries before embarking on a blended malt whisky tasting. Stroll to forests, beaches, colourful villages, Inveraray Castle and the romantic harbour. Inhale aromas of salty sea air as you view an array of wildlife over the misty peaks of nearby Mull and Kerrera. And as your time in this magical sanctuary nears an end, sit back and let the best quality seafood in the country cast another spell over you.

Day 6 - Belfast

Day 7 - At Sea

Day 8 - Southampton

Arrive: Fri 07 July 2028 at 07:00 / Depart: Fri 07 July 2028

Sail into this vibrant quay with enough shops and entertainment to form its own village. Modern and lively, this coastal town bustles with waterfront restaurants, heritage charm, bars, cinemas and offers great access to other spots in the South of England. Sit back and drift through heavenly countryside to ancient Stonehenge, see if the King is at home in Windsor, learn secrets from the Bombay Sapphire gin distillery or slip up to London for some rich British culture. Then enjoy a cup of tea as you reflect on formal traditions, perfect your cockney accent and recall England’s green and pleasant lands.
