Misty Cliffs, Viking Legends, and Cozy Castles Await
There’s something undeniably magical about cruising the North Atlantic — where the landscapes are wilder, the air crisper, and the whiskey somehow tastes even better. Now imagine layering all that magic with insider access, curated shore experiences, and champagne receptions you can’t book yourself. Welcome to cruising the North Atlantic with Distinctive Voyages, curated exclusively through Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited.
What Makes Distinctive Voyages So Special?
When you sail under the Distinctive Voyages program, you’re not just another traveler trying to snap a blurry photo of a puffin. You’re part of a private club onboard — and the perks are delicious:
- Private Welcome Reception: Meet fellow insiders over bubbles and nibbles.
- Dedicated Distinctive Voyages Host: Your go-to for VIP guidance throughout the cruise.
- Exclusive Shore Event: A curated cultural experience that ordinary passengers don’t even know exists.
Pro Tip: Distinctive Voyages perks are complimentary, but only when you book through a preferred partner like Edge of Wonder — otherwise, you’re just a regular (and where’s the fun in that?).
Where You’ll Wander
Cruising this stretch of the Atlantic feels like paging through a mythical storybook — full of mist, music, and moments you’ll never forget.
Highlights We’re Dreaming About
- Reykjavik, Iceland: Soak in the Blue Lagoon, chase waterfalls, or ride Icelandic horses across lava fields.
- Akureyri, Iceland: Gateway to the “Land of Fire and Ice” — volcanic landscapes, whale watching, and geothermal baths.
- Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland: Dramatic cliffs, adorable ponies, Viking history galore.
- Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland: Ancient standing stones, mysterious ruins, windswept coastlines.
- Dublin, Ireland: Guinness, Georgian architecture, and music spilling out of every corner pub.
- Belfast, Northern Ireland: Titanic history, dramatic coastal drives, and Game of Thrones filming sites.
Insider Tip: We can arrange private shore excursions like puffin-spotting boat rides, castle feasts, or whisky tastings tucked away in 12th-century stone manors.
(And if you’re lucky, you might just spot Heathcliff brooding on the moors — or at least someone who looks suspiciously poetic in a windswept scarf.)
