- Our cruise took us to Norway, then Iceland - countries we've visited before but we went to (mostly) different places.
- Our visit to Torshaven on the Faroe Islands was cancelled because they were working on the cruise liner docks. Instead we went to Liverpool!
- At no time did they update their web site to show this new schedule, so the map below shows where we would have gone!
