Follow in the wake of fabled Viking explorers as you sail the azure seas of Northern Europe on the beautifully appointed Oceania Cruises Marina. Sail the North Sea from Copenhagen to Norway, stopping first in Flaam, a small town nestled on the steep slopes of the majestic Sognefjord, and then in Gudvangen, another scenic town in a fairy-tale setting on the same spectacular fjord. Continue to Bergen and stroll the cobbled streets along the historic wharf area before sailing for Scotland’s Shetland Islands, a land of beautiful valleys, charming villages, and adorable ponies. Next, visit Invergordon and the nearby Highlands, a scenic landscape of forested mountains where local clan castles perch atop craggy hills. Leave Scotland behind and cruise to the Emerald Isle, first stopping in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a vibrant city adorned by Victorian architecture, followed by Ireland’s capital, Dublin, a cosmopolitan city that still exudes the charms of the 18th century. Then explore Waterford, an ancient city renowned as the world’s finest crystal manufacturer for nearly three centuries, and discover the small but flourishing port of Falmouth, England, before concluding your journey in London.
