To travel by sea is always to enter into the realm of liv-ing legends— as though the winds and the waves recall the spirits of those who have gone before. In the case of the North Atlantic, we enter the realm of those redoubt-able Norse explorers: the Vikings!

These hardy Scandinavian seafarers roved from their colonies in Scotland to the Shetlands, the Orkneys, the Faroe Islands, and ultimately to Iceland, the paradise of the North Atlantic.

A mere millennium later, so shall we—aboard the Ocean Endeavour, on Adventure Canada’s North Atlantic Saga sailing from Aberdeen, to Reykjavik.

No open boats, oaken oars or flapping sails for us! We shall follow in the wake of the Vikings aboard the Ocean Endeavour, a comfortable, modern expedition-class vessel. Fine food and comfortable lodging are ours to enjoy—but a fleet of twenty Zodiacs will convey us to fiords and caves, cozy communities and clamouring cliffside colonies of seabirds.

Onboard, we’ll learn from recognized experts who will regale us with tales of the explorers of old; ashore, we’ll find ourselves wandering among Neolithic and Mega-

lithic sites, visiting bustling communities and endless vistas, listening for the whispers of our Viking forebears!

Like them, we’ll marvel at standing stones, sea stacks and moody brochs. We’ll seek the soaring headlands of mystic islands and find there a warm welcome among folk who work the land and sea as their ancestors did. Following not just the Norse traders, but the early ex-plorers and later the likes of the Hudson’s Bay Company, we’ll be charting a course into Canadian history as well, rediscovering the routes of the first European visitors to our own shores.

Between the ancient, yet modern cities of Aberdeen and Reykjavik, an unforgettable, timeless journey awaits: Adventure Canada’s North Atlantic Saga. I can’t wait! Won’t you join me on a voyage into living history?

I’d love to hear from you if you are interested in joining me. I can be reached by phone at 416.925.5891 or by email [email protected].

Emerging from the mists of legend, the north Atlantic isles are wonders of geology,

ecology, and human history. From the craggy coastline of Scotland, past the staggering cliffs of the Faroe Islands to the volcanic plains of Iceland, this expedition charts a course unlike any other on Earth.

Join us as we explore ancient Neolithic ruins on rugged Celtic islands, and sail into the sagas of Norse explorers bound for far-flung Arctic shores. Hikers and bird-watchers alike will delight in the puffins and skuas that wheel over wave-battered headlands. You’ll experience local culture in villages that have been occupied since ancient times, and meet modern-day fishermen working the same waters that fed their forebears.

Find seabird populations abounding in their vast nesting grounds. Photograph exquisite wildflowers in early summer bloom. Visit newborn islands, pictur-esque communities, and sprawling glaciers. Join the lucky few who have trav-elled in the wake of the Vikings from Aberdeen to Reykjavík—charting an ancient course between modern ports, amid the mythic islands of the north Atlantic!

Day 1 and 2 | AberdeenAberdeen—the Granite City, or the Silver City—is the third most populous urban area in Scotland. Many of Aberdeen’s buildings are of locally quarried granite; the high mica content of this stone can sparkle like silver. The traditional industries of fishing, paper-making, shipbuild-ing, and textiles, have been overtaken by the oil industry since discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s. Aberdeen’s heliport is one of the busiest in the world. The city is famed for its forty-five parks, gardens, and floral displays. We board the Ocean Endeavour in the afternoon.

Day 2 | Stromness and OrkneyOff the north coast of mainland Scotland, Orkney has been settled for at least eight thousand years. Many Neo-lithic archeological sites have been preserved here, in-cluding villages, ceremonial sites, and burial chambers. The Kings of Norway held a strong presence here until the sixteenth century and Stromness, a historic old town on the eastern shore of the main island, is a remnant from that time. A staging area for ships heading west to North America, Stromness was the last last European port of call for Hudson’s Bay Company ships and for the Franklin Expedition of 1845. The ancient village of Skara Brae and the standing stones at Stenness and Brogdar are notable sights in Orkney, among fertile rolling hills dotted with Aberdeen Angus cattle.

DETAILED ITINERARY Day 3 | Fair Isle, Shetland IslandsA key destination in Viking times, Fair Isle now harbours a hospitable population of some sixty residents who combine a respect for tradition with a modern outlook. It is also home to a National Trust Bird Observatory; over three hundred and fifty species of birds have been record-ed here, including puffins and great skuas in substantial numbers. The local museum is dedicated to preserving island heritage, including the knitting of Fair Isle, is renowned the world over. The Jarlshof Prehistoric Norse settlement complex at the southern tip of the Shetlands spans more than four thousand years of human history.

Day 4 | Suðuroy Island and Sumba, Faroe IslandsThe southwest coast of Suðuroy Island features dramatic cliffs that tower above the Atlantic Ocean. The western side of the island is a breeding site for seabirds, includ-ing northern fulmars, European storm petrels, European shags, black-legged kittiwakes, Atlantic puffins, common guillemots, and black guillemots. The village of Sumba—population 239—is a stronghold of Faroese chain dancing. Archaeological excavations have shown traces of occupa-tion at Sumba as far back as the seventh century, making it one of the oldest villages in the Faroe Islands. Hiking is excellent in the foothills of nearby Beinisvøro Mountain, affording spectacular, panoramic views of the region.

Day 5 | Tórshavn, Faroe IslandsTórshavn, literally, “Thor’s harbour,” is the Faroe Islands’

capital and largest town, with a population of 19,000. Vikings established their parliament on the Tinganes peninsula in 850. Early in the history of the settlement, it was the centre of the islands’ trade monopoly and the only legal place to buy and sell goods. Following the end of the Viking age, Tórshavn gradually grew into a permanent trading area; today it is a modern European town whose principal industries are tourism and fishing. Tórshavn Cathedral was first built in 1788 and has been the seat of the Bishop of the Faroe Islands since 1990.

Day 6 | Western Faroe IslandsThe northwestern shores of Eysturoy and Streymoy islands boast some of the Faroes’ most spectacular coastlines and superb hiking opportunities. Towering cliffs, waterfalls, sea stacks, and rocks seemingly pulled from the ocean floor are scattered among picturesque coastal communities like Saksun, Gjogv, and Tjornuvik.

The uninhabited island of Tindhólmur may offer the single most breathtaking view in the Faroes. Each of its small peaks has its own name: Ytsti, Arni, Lítli, Breiði, and Bogdi. The nearby waterfall at Gásadalur is similarly majestic and Tolkienesque.

Day 7 | Mykines IslandMykines is the westernmost of the Faroes. Along its northern coast lies the valley Krokadalur, where great columns of balsalt (called the Stone-wood) tower thir-ty metres above the ocean. On the western end of the island, connected by a forty-metre footbridge, is the islet Mykinshólmur, with several sea stacks clustered at its western end and a lighthouse dating to 1909. Geologically, this is the oldest part of the Faroes, formed about sixty million years ago by volcanic activity. Mykines has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International for its large num-bers of puffins and gannets, guillemots, razorbills, northern fulmurs, Manx shearwaters, European storm petrels, European shags, and black-legged kittiwakes.

Day 8 | At Sea � Surtsey Island, IcelandSurtsey was declared a nature reserve for the study of eco-logical succession in 1965—just two years after it erupted from the sea floor. The volcanic mound has the distinc-tion of being one of the world’s newest islands, having emerged over the course of three and a half years. In the first spring after Surtsey appeared above the sea surface,

seeds and other plant parts were found washed up on the newly formed shore. By the spring of 1965, the first higher plant—a sea rocket—was discovered at the shoreline. Now diminishing in size due to erosion, Surtsey was named Iceland’s first unesco World Heritage Site in 2008.

Day 9 | Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands)Vestmannaeyjar lies off the south coast of Iceland and comprises fourteen islands in addition to a number of rocks and skerries. Only the archipelago’s largest island, Heimaey, is inhabited—though several of the outlying islands have small cabins used during bird-hunting season. The islands’ name originates from a time when Irish slaves fled Iceland’s south coast; to the first Iceland-ers (who originated in Norway) the Irish were known as “west men”. Since the early days of Heimaey’s occu-pation, fishing has been the principal way of life for its inhabitants. Numerous species of seabirds nest in the steep rock faces along the ocean cliffs and high on the bluffs surrounding the island. In 1973, Heimaey was threatened by lava flow that would have closed off its harbour, had it not been for human intervention. Today, Eldfell crater remains warm from subterranean magma.

Day 10 | Southwest Icelandic CoastHome to some of the youngest lava in the country, the southwest coast is full of natural and geological wonders such as rugged lava fields, craters, and volcanoes. The Reykjanes peninsula is home to the Álfagjá rift valley,

which marks the boundary of the Eurasian and North American continental tectonic plates. Today, a bridge spans the two plates, and it was named in honour of Ice-landic explorer Leif Erikson, the first known European to have travelled to North America. The south coast is filled with geothermal activity and is home to the Blue Lagoon. Today represents an expedition day in the truest sense, as we will search for opportunities and explore the dra-matic island coastline. Day 11 | ReykjavíkReykjavík, or “steamy bay”, is a cosmopolitan capital city and as much a part of the Icelandic experience as the midnight sun or the fire and ice that creates the island’s landscape. Entirely powered by geothermal energy har-nessed from the Earth, the city boasts air that is crisp, clean, and pollution free, as well as thermally heated streets and sidewalks. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world, and is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, es-tablished in ad 874. The Culture House, which opened in 1909, was originally built to house the National Library and National Archives of Iceland; in 2000, it was remod-eled to promote Icelandic national heritage, including treasures like the Poetic Edda, and the Norse Sagas in their original manuscripts.

Today we disembark the Ocean Endeavour and transfer to the airport.

PRE-DEPARTURE INFORMATIONPrior to your expedition we will send you a pre-departure package including a statement of account, login details for your online profile, and digital resources to prepare you for your voyage.

ONLINE PROFILEAdventure Canada collects personal information from our passengers via secure online account. You are required to provide select medical and personal information, as well as acknowledgement of select

liabilities. Personal information is collected for crew and passenger safety reasons, and by signing up for an adventure, you consent to the collection of the personal information. You may refer to our Privacy Policy at www.adventurecanada.com/privacy. Online accounts are established by booking reservations. This means that all passengers on a given reservation will have access to each others’ information. You will be asked to acknowledge this process on our reservation form by checking the box ‘I/we agree that all passenger details will be viewable by all persons on this registration/reservation’. If you prefer to have individual access to the online account, please do not check this box on the reservation form and advise your Adventure Specialist by phone or email. If you prefer to provide your personal information to Adventure Canada by mail or fax, please contact us and we will send you paper copies. We ask that your personal information be completed at your convenience, but no less than 120 days prior to departure. You will not receive your final documents until these forms are completed and submitted.

PASSPORTS & VISASPassports are mandatory and must be current, with a date of expiry at least three (3) months after the trip’s conclusion. Participants are responsible for obtaining personal visas, passports, health certificates and other required documents and inoculations at their own expense. Entry to another country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete.

ACTIVITY LEVELAlthough Adventure Canada endeavours to accommodate any passengers, subject to the specific characteristics of the vessels, accommodations, itineraries and terrain of our excursions, Adventure Canada expeditions necessitate that passengers be in reasonably good health. Zodiac cruises and transfer times can be lengthy. You must be able to climb stairs between decks on the ship. You must also be able to climb the external gangway stairs to transfer between the ship and the Zodiacs. Our guides and ship crew are available to assist you in and out of the Zodiacs, both on shore and at the gangway. Adventure Canada expeditions may involve extensive walking in variable weather conditions over sometimes sandy or uneven terrain. Wherever possible on shore excursions, we break into smaller, guided groups according to interest and physical ability. This may mean one small group going off

on a strenuous, two-hour hike on steep terrain, while another explores the area in and around the landing beach, keeping to relatively level terrain and short distances. Generally speaking, once a few people are ready to return to the ship, the Zodiacs are usually available to take you back at the time of your choosing. To inquire about whether our adventures are suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

ZODIAC CRAFTZodiacs are the favoured means of transportation for all our expeditions and, indeed, wherever shallow waters and beaches ring the shoreline. They are stable, versatile craft that cruise at approximately four knots; in windy weather they can make for rather splashy rides. We therefore recommend wearing wet weather gear for Zodiac transfers. Life preservers are absolutely compulsory and will be provided. Zodiac landings will generally entail disembarking onto rocky or gravelly beaches. The beach landings may be wet, meaning that there may be some spray enroute to shore, and that you may have to step into water up to 25 centimetres / 10 inches deep. Rubber boots will be provided.

MEDICAL FACILITIESPassenger safety is of utmost importance to us. This expedition is intended for persons in good health, and thus our adventures may not be suitable for those who are not fit for long trips for any reason, including disability, heart, or other health conditions. Should any such condition become apparent, or should passenger safety become a concern, we reserve the right at our sole discretion to decline embarkation prior to the commencement of the tour or to disembark passengers prior to the completion of the tour. Our vessel is not equipped to handle serious medical conditions. Medical and Emergency Evacuation insurance is mandatory. A ship’s doctor will be in attendance in the ship’s small medical clinic to attend only to passengers’ basic health needs. If you require specific medications, please ensure that you bring a supply adequate to last you for the duration of the journey and take care to properly pack them to ensure safe transport. Once aboard ship, we will be travelling in remote communities where prescriptions cannot be replaced. There is a fee for consultation and treatment by the onboard doctor. Any charges will be debited from your onboard account. To inquire about whether our adventures are suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

GRATUITIESOur ships’ crew work hard to please, and tips are heartily appreciated. In fairness to all those who work together to make your trip enjoyable, tips are collected at the end of the voyage and distributed equitably among the crew. Although we leave tip amounts to your discretion, past passengers have asked for a recommended amount. We suggest a rate of $15 usd per day, per passenger. Gratuities will be automatically added to your shipboard account: you may advise the purser onboard if you would like to increase or decrease the tip amount. Adventure Canada staff does not accept tips.

AIRFAREWhen purchasing your airline tickets to meet us at our point of departure, please ensure that they are changeable or refundable; Adventure Canada is not responsible for missed connections due to late charter flights or changes / delays / interruptions in the ship’s intended itinerary and will not reimburse you for rebooking fees or new ticket charges incurred.
