What to Expect

Moderately Strenuous Activity Level

PACING:

This trip is moderately strenuous paced
Your 17-day expedition cruisetour includes 11 nights on board the 5-star Ocean Explorer; plus, hotel stays for 4 nights total in Reykjavik and Dublin (the 17 days include the day you depart from home and your overnight flight, plus the day you depart for home)
Over the course of 17 days, you’ll visit 11 ports of call in 5 different countries. Sightseeing and expeditions are usually offered in half-day tours, with time to relax every day
There is a day at sea when you have ample time to relax; attend workshops and lectures presented by your light expedition team; and enjoy the amenities on board your luxury expedition vessel
We often cruise overnight but some scenic sailing will be conducted during daylight hours

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:

You should be in good health to fully enjoy this tour
This journey does require some walking for great distances, you will be on your feet for two to three hours at a time
Some more challenging hikes will also be offered
Some of your exploration takes place in remote natural settings, historic centers, old villages and archaeological sites where you should be sure-footed
Most city sightseeing takes place in air-conditioned coaches with guides. You should expect some long rides over occasionally bumpy terrain
At several ports on this journey, zodiacs and local tenders will be used for daily excursions and onshore landings, potentially on uneven terrain. Guests should be comfortable embarking and disembarking smaller vessels
This cruise tour is not suitable for those who have difficulty walking or require wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Please refer to Vantage's wheelchair and handicapped traveler policy

TERRAIN & TRANSPORTATION:

Your ship is your main means of transportation between destinations
In cities, land transportation is conducted on board deluxe, air-conditioned motorcoaches
Some of your island destinations are remote and rugged, so we will use 4x4 vehicles to get around
In some locations you will ride along uneven or bumpy roads, especially in more rural areas or at historical sites
You will have several opportunities to explore in small, motorized Zodiac expedition craft. Your expedition team leaders will assist with your embarkation and disembarkation on rugged shores

CLIMATE:

This trip takes place during the summer, when the weather is temperate and there are still ample daylight hours. It should be quite pleasant in most of your destinations. Please refer to the charts in the Before You Go section for more details
You will receive a complimentary wind- and rain-resistant expedition jacket as our gift. Otherwise, there will be some temperature variations, so it is important to pack accordingly. Bring several pairs of long pants, a light sweater and jacket, and even a hat and gloves for any brisk days at sea and island exploration. In general, plan on temperate weather but bring layers, just in case
During your days at sea it can occasionally be windy, and there is a chance of rain in all our locations
The sun is glaring and strong in all our destinations, so sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are musts

Please note: Ocean cruising is not the same experience as river cruising; as such, you may experience fluctuating tides and weather patterns that may involve some rocking of your vessel. Itineraries will include all activities as planned except in extreme cases that can’t be controlled by your shipboard crew.

Important: Day-by-day itineraries are preliminary and therefore subject to change. If changes occur while on tour, you will be notified by your Cruise Director or regional expert.
