Our Story
Program
This trip goes from Brekstad (outside Trondheim) to Shetland and the Orkney Islands, and ends in Bergen.
This is an indicative program.
We make reservations about really bad weather and wind and can change the order / cancel destinations for safety reasons, should such a situation arise. We do this to get the best possible experience and to be able to take the best possible care of our guests.
A trip to Shetland, the Orkney Islands and the Faroe Islands is a journey back in history.
The population has strong Scandinavian ties from when the Vikings came to the islands more than 1000 years ago.
We are walking along magnificent coastlines with cliffs plunging into the sea, hiking in the open, green landscape and we visit a number of historical sights.
