11 Night Cruise sailing from Copenhagen to Reykjavik onboard Crystal Symphony.
Travel the length of the North Sea for a unique and inspiring survey of Northern Europe. Begin in the city of fairy tales, Copenhagen, heading for our first stop at Ijmuiden, the port city of Amsterdam. Then, sailing up the British coast, we stop in the charming Scottish town of Dundee to experience the distinct local culture. Marvel at the verdant landscapes of Invergordon and Kirkwall before a final stretch up to Iceland to disembark in eclectic Reykjavik.
Highlights of this cruise:
Copenhagen
Capital of the “World’s Happiest Country,” Copenhagen is known for its colorful buildings, busy canals and cozy ambience. In this charming city, you can stroll the Tivoli Gardens, visit museums or join the cycling culture by touring on two wheels.
Dundee
Considered Scotland’s sunniest city, Dundee is a coastal town full of history and cultural events. As the only city in the UK named City of Design by UNESCO, you can find many attractions related to the creativity of its inhabitants, such as its diverse museums, magical architecture and multiple indie shops.
Kirkwall
A place of contrasts and balance, Kirkwall offers the high points of a large Scottish city – stellar local shopping and impressive historical sites like the St. Magnus Cathedral and ruins of the Bishop’s Palace and Earl’s Palace – as well as the charms of a small village. It is a relatively quiet ferry landing town that is also an excellent example of an ancient Norse settlement, making Kirkwall itself a living museum.
Reykjavik
Formed by volcanic eruptions and settled by Norse Vikings, Iceland is an unforested land of volcanoes, hot springs, mountains, glaciers and northern lights. While its preserved language remains, this is a forward-thinking, eco-friendly country and Reykjavik is its capital where 60% of the population lives. Europe’s second largest island is known for whale watching and its ancient maritime history.
It begins the moment you embark. An immersion into luxurious wonder. An extraordinary sense of well-being. The Crystal Symphony is one of the most spacious and luxurious cruise ships at sea. Onboard amenities feature grand lounges, a full-service fitness facility, exciting casino, a lavish spa, expansive decks, a swimming pool with an extra-large Jacuzzi, award-winning cuisine and entertainment. To top it off, exquisitely-appointed staterooms, more than half of which offer private verandahs. Considered to be the finest shipboard staff afloat, it is their goal to anticipate your every need and to make this a vacation to remember.
