Set neatly between the mountains and the sea on the east coast, Aberdeen is an ancient settlement dating back to the Stone Age. Today, it’s Scotland’s third-largest centre and has the nickname "Granite City," its shimmering silver buildings create a captivating contrast against the sea.  

Your Discovery Yacht will dock right in the heart of the city, where you can admire the architecturally distinctive harbour and see the sparkling granite buildings and monuments shimmering in the sunlight. Listen out for the warm tones of the Scottish dialect 'Doric', which is native to the area.

As evening falls, marvel at the captivating Seven Sisters Waterfall, its delicate streams tumbling down the mountainside. 

At the heart of the World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord, Geiranger serves as a gateway to some of Norway’s most breathtaking landscapes. Framed by towering peaks and cascading waterfalls, this picturesque village invites exploration, from the sweeping vistas of Dalsnibba to the winding curves of the legendary Eagle Road.

A picturesque coastal town on Norway’s west coast, Måløy is a gateway to some of the region’s most dramatic landscapes. Discover rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and a deep-rooted maritime history.
