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, the Isle of Skye, and the Faroe Islands. Aboard Ocean Nova, the route runs Aberdeen to Oban/Glasgow with no Iceland leg — that is the separate North Atlantic Saga departure. Cultural programming and zodiac landings throughout.
Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO sites — Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae.
Faroe Islands — dramatic cliffs, seabird colonies, and remote villages.
Isle of Skye and Scotland's west coast — Oban or Glasgow disembarkation.
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.
