Come aboard L'Austral for an unforgettable voyage.
Between Scotland and Iceland , embark on a journey to the wild reaches of Northern Europe. The Hebrides, the Shetlands, the Faroes, the Westmans: the secrets of these archipelagos sculpted by the raw forces of nature will be revealed as you sail and make fascinating stops along the way. Vertiginous cliffs, forgotten fjords, fishing villages nestling between sea and moorland, mythical volcanic lands... The uniqueness of the geology and the resilience of those who have put down roots there will be immediately apparent in these singular landscapes. Here, the ocean sets the pace, island traditions withstand the passage of time, and nature reigns supreme, just as in the legends of old.
