Key facts
Overview
A journey shaped by conditions, not a script.
Scotland and Faroes: Isles and Wonders is Adventure Canada's European North Atlantic voyage — Neolithic Orkney (Ring of Brodgar, Skara Brae), Shetland's seabird cliffs, Tórshavn in the Faroes, and Iceland's geological drama. Aboard Ocean Nova, the pace is unhurried and the programming is cultural as much as scenic. For travellers who want expedition ship access to islands most cruise lines treat as a footnote.
Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO sites — Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae.
Faroe Islands — dramatic cliffs, seabird colonies, and Tórshavn.
Small-ship landings in Shetland and along Iceland's coast.
Onboard historians and naturalists throughout.

Planning note
Cabin choice matters as much as itinerary.
Deck height, window size, ship movement, dining style, and guide ratio all shape the expedition. We compare those details before recommending a departure.
