The Faroe Islands are one of the most dramatic and beautiful archipelagos in the North Atlantic, a remote cluster of eighteen rugged islands lying between Scotland, Iceland and Norway. A land of soaring sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls and grass-roofed villages, they offer genuinely wild and spectacular expedition cruising far from the crowds.
The islands are celebrated for their extraordinary scenery, where sheer cliffs plunge thousands of feet into the churning Atlantic, waterfalls tumble directly into the sea, and emerald slopes rise dramatically from deep fjords and sounds. Cruising these waters, dotted with sea stacks and tiny villages, reveals landscapes of raw and elemental beauty.
The Faroes teem with birdlife, with vast colonies of puffins, guillemots and gannets crowding the cliffs, while the surrounding seas are rich in fish and marine life. Tiny turf-roofed hamlets cling to the shores, connected by sea and offering a glimpse of a hardy, traditional way of life.
Ashore, the islands offer dramatic hiking, fresh seafood, warm hospitality and profound natural beauty, far from any crowds. Their wild character is exceptional.
With their soaring sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls and remote beauty, the Faroe Islands are a spectacular North Atlantic frontier. Guests can cruise beneath towering cliffs and sea stacks, witness vast seabird colonies and experience the wild, elemental beauty of these remote and dramatic islands.
