From Copenhagen's colorful harbor to an overnight stay in Reykjavik under the midnight sun or the Northern Lights - depending on the season - this is Caravel's most atmospheric long-haul itinerary.

What to Expect

Expect cool, changeable weather throughout, generally 10-18°C (50-65°F) even in summer, so warm layers, a waterproof jacket and comfortable walking boots are essential. Evenings lean elegant, with two formal nights and a Nordic-themed dinner featuring the ship's Baltic menu. Iceland's Reykjavik overnight is the highlight for many guests, with a good chance of Northern Lights viewing on clear nights in the autumn and winter departure windows, and near-endless daylight during summer sailings. Danish Krone, Euro and Icelandic Krona are used across the route, though cards are accepted almost everywhere.
