Review summary
This is a nice itinerary especially if you do not want to do these places in tow separate cruises. But I think it is slightly long and with most places looking kind of similar, you may get some "Fjord fatigue" towards the second half when you go to Icelandic Fjords. There are 6 ports that use tendering boats to get ashore and is always a pain especially when there is high winds. We skipped two ports due to bas weather. While no one was complaining as safety was the primary concern..Embarkation

Ship tip
It is one of the smaller ships, so there are advantages with lesser people, but also some disadvantages with the ship rocking with some wind / waves
