Northern Isles

Scrabster to Scrabster
8 Days

Aug 7 and 14 2008 departures

Distant outposts of northern Europe, lying closer to the Arctic ice caps and Norway than Scotland’s capital, Orkney and Shetland, or the Nordereys as they were dubbed by their Viking conquerors. Although separated from Fair Isle by only 25 miles (40 km), they are unique from the lush, rolling hills of Orkney, haunted by mythical trows, to the barer topography of Shetland. Wonder at a wealth of wildlife, prehistory and tradition on this popular cruise to the Far North on board Hebridean Princess.
