Norwegen 16 Tage Auf den Spuren der Wikinger: Orkney, Shetlandinseln & Färöer in internationaler Gruppe
Set sail for a 16-day adventure through the wild and windswept corners of the North Atlantic – from the mystical Scottish Isles to the dramatic Faroe Islands and along the stunning coast of the Norwegian Sea. Follow the ancient paths of the Vikings, get up close to glaciers and fjords, and discover landscapes so surreal they feel otherworldly. Along the way, you’ll explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, spot wildlife on remote shores, and uncover the deep history woven into every rugged cliff and fishing village. Starting in storybook Edinburgh and ending in Arctic Tromsø, this is the kind of journey that stays with you long after you’re home.
