Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland is noted for its abundant parks, brightly colored houses, steaming thermal pools and an incredibly vibrant music scene. Although small in populations, the world’s most northerly capital has everything larger cities have to offer. For passengers spending time in the city there is a wide choice of museums, galleries, restaurants and cafés. Reykjavik is the gateway to Iceland's natural wonders, which range from ice fields to thermal pools. Just a few minutes drive outside the city is unspoilt countryside where you can encounter a cross-section of Iceland’s natural wonders, geology and history. Tours outside the city give you an idea of the many contrasts of Iceland’s natural beauty from lush valleys to barren higlands, from thunderous waterfalls to silent, mystical glaciers, from lava fields to sandy coastlines, from hotsprings to geothermal spas. If you have the opportunity, don't miss a dip in the pleasant waters of the Blue Lagoon.

Kirkwall is the biggest town and capital of the Orkney Islands, off the coast of northern mainland Scotland. At the heart of the town stands St. Magnus Cathedral, the finest medieval building in the north of Scotland, next to it the ruins of the former Bishop's Palace and Earl's Palace. The town has two museums, the larger being Tankerness House Museum, which contains items of local historical interest within one of Scotland's best-preserved sixteenth century town-houses and the Orkney Wireless Museum, dealing with the history of radio and recorded sound. During your visit, you will also notice many 17th-18th-century houses in the local vernacular style. Kirkwall is a bustling market town, a lively centre for shopping and eating out.

Honningsvåg, the northernmost city on the mainland of Norway, a little over 2,100km from the North Pole, is our gateway to the North Cape (just 34kms) away. Home to just 2,500 permanent inhabitants, Honningsvåg is primarily a fishing community, characterised by brightly painted wooden buildings, but the summer months draw cruise ships aplenty, and the local population grows by 500 to help cater for these. It is surrounded by breathtaking fjords and waterfalls and dense forests, all bathed in the mysterious summertime light of the Midnight Sun. The North Cape's Midnight Sun is rightly famous - the sun never rises in winter, nor sets in midsummer. In Honningsvåg you find the North Cape Museum, which deals with the history of the island and several hotels, bars and restaurants.

Harstad is a city in the county of Troms in Northern Norway. It is situated on Norway’s largest coastal island, Hinnøya. The landscape is very beautiful, with coastal mountains, fjords, and a national park

The peaceful setting of the picturesque port of Honfleur along the estuary of the River Seine attracted many artists and writers over the years including French painter Boudin, French poet Charles Baudelaire and many Impressionist Painters. The 15^th century wooden church and the Impressionist paintings of the Musée Eugene Boudin are worth visiting. Honfleur is a place of great historic charm and throughout its history numerous maritime journeys were initiated from here. In the early sixteenth century, Paulmier de Gouenville sailed to Brazil from here and Jean Denis set out on an exploration of the St. Lawrence River. During the early part of the next century, Champlain set sail from Honfleur to discover Quebec and later La Salle set sail on his voyage down the Mississippi and named the Louisiana after the King of France. From here it is possible to visit Monet's Garden, the Normandy Beaches and Bayeux, home of the world-famous Bayeux tapestry which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England and survives from the Middle Ages.

The port of Antwerp is the third largest in Europe. Antwerp is known as the "City of diamonds".  The whole city looks like an architectural museum, from the medieval castle by the river, up to the modern creations on the dock. It is worth visiting the house-museum of the great Flemish painter P.P.Roumpens.

Le Havre, on the Normandy coast, is our gateway for touring the D-Day beaches or for traveling inland, visiting the City of Light - Paris. It was founded in 1517 as a port to serve Paris and still remains its main gateway.

During your visit to the glamorous metropolis, you will see Notre Dame Cathedral, shrouded in gothic splendour and folklore, the sensational Louvre with priceless artworks, the Champs Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe. Last but not least, is the undisputed Parisian icon, the Eiffel Tower, which will leave its own vivid impression to your trip, offering the most magnificent panoramic view to the city.

Gijón is a coastal city in Asturias province in northwest Spain, located on the Bay of Biscay, close to the cities of Aviles and Oviedo. There are many findings from the Paleolithic period in the area.

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, on the southwest of the country, has been the main gateway for the rest of the planet for more than 19 centuries. Ships captained by Portuguese explorers like Bartolomeu Dias, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, skittered across the globe, hauling treasure home and making Lisbon a global capital. Draped across seven hills, Lisbon was once the center of a vast maritime empire that stretched from the west coast of Africa to the Spice Islands of the East Indies, until 1755, when a violent earthquake destroyed two-thirds of the city, leaving intact only the Alfama, the old Moorish quarter. Today, Lisbon is a stately city of Neoclassical buildings and wide plazas. Eternally linked to the sea, Lisbon's magnificent harbor is spanned by the longest suspension bridge in Europe. Among the city's landmarks are the iconic Castelo de São Jorge, the World Heritage Sites of Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, both built in Lisbon's native Manueline architectural style.
