Rotterdam: 7-Night from Reykjavik - August 23, 2026

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Heimaey, Iceland, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Dress in layers and bring a windproof jacket no matter the season.

The Rotterdam will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Djupivogur, Iceland. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Start right at the port and wander along the harbor.

With a late arrival in Runavik, Faroe Islands at 12:00 PM, your time ashore is more limited - but many morning passengers will already be heading back, so popular spots may be less crowded. Focus on attractions closest to the port. Take a boat tour or walk along the fjords surrounding Runavik to experience dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and calm waters.

Your cruise ends in S. Queensferry, Scotland, where the Rotterdam is scheduled to dock at 8:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. The port area is compact and easy to navigate on foot.
