This 10-night luxury cruise brings together alumni who value culture, adventure, and lifelong learning, all set against the stunning backdrop of Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Your adventure begins in Reykjavik, where you’ll set sail for the charming village of Grundarfjordur, home to serene waterfalls and the iconic Kirkjufell, or “Church Mountain.” In Isafjordur, bond with fellow alumni while fishing along the bay or exploring the local maritime museum. Immerse yourself in Icelandic folk culture in Akureyri, and take in the picturesque beauty of Seydisfjordur, known for its breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. Stroll through the quaint streets of Djupivogur, a town rich in culture and natural beauty. Midway through your voyage, explore the mysterious Faroe Islands, a hidden gem between Iceland and Norway, where quirky local culture blends with modern-day cafes. Before returning to Reykjavik, visit Heimaey, an island known for its volcanic formations and adorable puffins in their natural habitat.
