Countdown To Viking British Isles Explorer

Posted onAuthorChris Owen

We are looking forward to our upcoming sailing with Viking Cruises aboard Viking Sky in the British Isles, with overnight stays in Greenwich, England, and Bergen, Norway. We will discover Scotland’s legendary Highlands and Western Isles and its capital, Edinburgh. We’ll visit the Shetland and Orkney Islands and contrast modern Belfast with traditional Dublin. I’ve been on this itinerary before and look forward to showing Lisa the Welsh culture in Snowdonia, maritime Liverpool, and historic Dover, plus a tour of London.
