About This Cruise
The 14 Night British Isles Explorer is a 14-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Sky. You board in Lerwick and disembark in Dover, calling at 10 ports across 6 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Shetland Isles (Lerwick), Scotland (Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Kirkwall and 1 more), Northern Ireland (Belfast), England (Liverpool), Wales (Holyhead), Ireland (Dublin) and 1 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Lerwick and home from Dover, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
