Our Expedition Cruise Destinations
Our expedition cruise concept offers a safe, sustainable, and intimate experience in three remote villages: Elduvík, Funningur, and Oyndarfjørður. The ships anchor outside the villages and the guests are brought ashore by tender boats. To preserve the peaceful atmosphere, only three ships are accepted per year.
Elduvík is a secluded village with just 12 residents, offering a rare glimpse into traditional Faroese life. Learn more about Elduvík here.
Funningur, home to about 49 residents provides a scenic and culturally rich stop. Learn more about Funningur here.
Oyndarfjørður, our newest destination, will begin welcoming cruise guests in 2026. With 133 residents, the destination offers a warm, small-village experience. Learn more about Oyndarfjørður here.
