Northern Europe

Fjords, highlands, white nights, a summer escape from the Med.

From mid-June to the end of August, Northern Europe offers a cruising season that feels wholly different from the Mediterranean: eighteen hours of daylight, fjords so deep the hull sits over a thousand metres of water, waterfalls that fall straight into the sea, and villages reached by no road. Norway is the headline, Geirangerfjord, Sognefjord, the Lofoten archipelago. Scotland offers the Hebrides and a whisky distillery at every anchorage. Sweden and Finland open up a skerries cruise between Stockholm and Helsinki that is one of the most under-booked in yachting.
