Step away from Dublin’s energetic avenues and the rhythm of traditional tunes as you sail past ancient fortresses, steadfast beacons, and the untamed beauty of Ireland’s shoreline. As the open sea unfolds before you, a serene sense of liberation begins to take hold—this isn’t merely a departure, but the start of a meaningful voyage.
Our course takes us northward along striking coastlines dotted with islands, gliding past the Hebrides and cliffs teeming with wildlife. This is a journey for those who yearn for salty breezes, the groan of wooden beams, and the timeless experience of a wind-driven ship.
During the expedition, the crew will welcome your participation: help raise and adjust the sails, steer the vessel, learn classic knots during onboard tutorials, or climb the rigging for a new perspective. Whether you're eager to engage in every aspect of sailing or prefer to unwind on deck and soak in the scenery, there's space for both.
Arriving in Kirkwall, Orkney’s vibrant capital, you’ll be greeted by rolling green landscapes and echoes of Norse heritage. Wander the cobbled streets, marvel at the towering St. Magnus Cathedral, and uncover ancient sites like the Earl’s Palace and the stone dwellings of Skara Brae. Look out for puffins, seals, and the quiet charm of island life along the way.
Next, we set sail across the storied North Sea en route to Norway. The arrival in Bergen is a sight to behold: dramatic fjords and wooded hills cradle the city, while rows of colorful timber buildings grace the historic Hanseatic harbor of Bryggen. On land, discover a lively atmosphere, delicious seafood, and genuine hospitality—an unforgettable finale to a remarkable northern seafaring adventure.
