British Isles
Seabourn Sojourn will take guests on a historical journey through the British Isles, exploring cities and villages steeped in centuries of captivating stories. Guests will wander the cobblestone streets of quaint villages and take in the beautiful hillsides of the English countryside and Scottish Highlands. Featured ports include the following:
Fishguard, Wales – A haven for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike, this small town boasts a rich history and charming architecture that offer a glimpse into Wales’ cultural heritage. Its stunning coastal beauty and breathtaking landscapes instantly capture the essence of life in this quaint harbour. For those seeking to explore some of the largest and best-preserved castles in South Wales, this port is an ideal destination.
Oban, Scotland – The quiet, rural feel of Oban is responsible for the abundance of wildlife within the town boundaries. Here grey seals can be spotted swimming in the harbour or resting along the shore. A featured shore excursion is Scotland’s Mountains & Gondola Ride that travels along Scotland’s beautiful coastlines and windswept, heather-covered hills to view stunning scenery including Loch Linnhe, Glen Nevis.
Saint Helier, Jersey – Discover this jewel in the British Isles, neither part of the European Union nor the United Kingdom. Wineries such as La Mare take advantage of the pleasant climate, as does the 32-acre Durrell Wildlife Park, founded by author and naturalist Gerald Durrell. Visitors are welcome to see and learn about the over 130 species they maintain, including a famous family of lowland gorillas.
Norway and Iceland
Norway and Iceland offer a taste of Viking culture with small gothic villages, warm Norwegian hospitality and the unique natural wonders that inspired Viking and Nordic folklore. Featured ports include the following:
Reykjavik, Iceland – The capital of Iceland is the location of the country’s first permanent settlement. Its name translates to ‘smoky bay,’ due to the geothermal nature of the surrounding area. Now known for its bustling city scene and highlights such as the famed Blue Lagoon, it is a must-see for all visitors to the country.
Brønnøysund, Norway – Brønnøysund boasts quirky treasures, surrounded by waterways dotted with a maze of small scenic islands. In this fairytale setting, picturesque, colourful houses are set amidst lush thick greenery, turquoise blue water and shallow bays. Towering above the town like a giant troll’s hat is the massive granitic monolith of Torghatten Mountain.
Tromsø, Norway – Situated 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is within the land of the midnight sun during summer months and the elusive northern lights in winter.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo | Leith (Edinburgh), Scotland – Available only on Seabourn Sojourn’s “7-Day Castles, Lochs & Scottish Highlands” departing August 2, 2025, guests can transfer into the city of Edinburgh and watch the Scottish Edinburgh Tattoo.
