Grandeur, 14 Nights Lands Of The North ex London (Southampton) to Reykjavik

Inspired by the past and reimagined for the future, Seven Seas Grandeur™ will personify our heritage of perfection.

Dublin (Dún Loaghaire), Ireland
A UNESCO City of Literature founded in 1592, Ireland’s capital and birthplace of Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and George Bernard Shaw has long been a stalwart of European culture. Lively, cosmopolitan and eminently walkable, Dublin’s complex history is told by medieval castles and cathedrals complemented by elegant, 18th-century houses built during the city’s prosperous Georgian era. Cruise the legendary River Liffey for spectacular views of the cast-iron Ha’penny Bridge and neoclassical Customs House. Wander the architectural gems of Trinity College, explore the cultural quarter of Temple Bar, visit a pair of medieval cathedrals (St. Patrick’s and Christ Church) and a bevy of museums before enjoying a perfect pint at one of Dublin’s cozy pubs.

Liverpool, England
Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, in North West England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. Inhabitants of Liverpool are referred to as Liverpudlians and nicknamed "Scousers," in reference to the local meal known as 'scouse', a form of stew. In 2004, Liverpool's waterfront was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting the city's importance in the development of the world's trading system and dock technology.

Killybegs, Ireland
Fishing trawlers crowding Killybegs Harbour will herald your arrival in Ireland’s largest fishing port, but long before that, the majestic headlands, beaches and villages of Southwestern Donegal will have made this place memorable. You can revisit the glorious history of Donegal Carpets at the Killybegs International Carpet Making & Fishing Centre, then, after a fresh seafood feast in town, witness the spectacular Sliabh Liag cliffs that tower almost 2,000 feet above Donegal Bay.

Qaqortoq, Greenland
This charming, colorful town has a pleasant center with a small square featuring Greenland's oldest fountain. The culture project Stone and Man can be seen as an open invitation to explore the town to find the 30 different motifs that are chiseled into rocks and stones by local and Scandinavian artists. The Church of Our Savior from 1832 and the town's two museums are also well worth a visit. Try traditional Greenlandic suaasat, an Inuit wild game soup made with rice, onions, and potatoes. Shop for local arts and crafts inspired by legends of the Inuit culture, such as the tupilak, a small carved figure representing powerful mythical magic.

Isafjordur, Iceland
Discover the dazzling natural beauty of Isafjordur. With its striking steep mountains on three sides rising dramatically around a gorgeous bay, this is one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. Trace the area’s history with a visit to the Maritime Museum in one of the oldest buildings dating back to the 18th century. A delightfully urban atmosphere prevails with major music schools, free concerts and festivals. Bring home fine handmade woolen items, nautical-themed articles, as well as arts and crafts. Feast on fresh baked goods and coffee at one of the many cafés.

Reykjavik, Iceland
Just as Iceland is a unique country, rugged and remote, yet modern and enjoying Nordic standards of affluence, so Reykjavik is a beautifully diverse capital city. As Iceland's capital and its main center of population, the city of Reykjavik offers a fascinating mixture of the traditional and the very technically advanced. In addition, its natural beauty leaves a lasting impression. Visit the remarkable solfatara fields of Krýsuvík where you’ll discover an expanse of steaming volcanic vents and boiling hot springs, framed dramatically by a range of multi-colored hills.
