Old meets new in this quintessential Atlantic seaport, where half-timbered medieval houses and hidden Renaissance passageways co-exist with a modern marina of sleek 21st-century yachts and even an electro-solar sea bus. Dip into daily life here under the 19th-century wrought-iron roof of Les Halles market, where there's a hum of haggling shoppers and traders shouting about the freshness of their produce amid stalls selling briny oysters and a rainbow of local fruit (look out for juicy Charentais melons in summer). Stop for a petit café on the terrace outside before exploring the old town, with its clock tower, stone gargoyles and shipowners' mansions.

Brest, France
jul 05, 2027
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
The sea has always defined Brest, in a sheltered bay on the westernmost finger of Brittany. A harbour for ships since Roman times, its strategic importance in World War II was the reason 90 per cent of it was bombed by the Allies. Remarkably, the castle overlooking the harbour survived (today it houses a marine museum), while the rest of the city was rebuilt on a modern chequerboard pattern. But it's the sea that draws the eye, from the jumble of ports and quays to the futuristic Oceanopolis, which plunges you into the wonders of marine life, with penguins, tropical lagoons, and shark tanks to see.

9 EXCURSIONS
If you are looking for a unique blend of British and French charm in an idyllic setting, then look no further than St. Peter Port. The Channel Islands' blend of cultural diversity, historical significance, natural beauty, and autonomy make them one of the most coveted archipelagos on travelers' wish lists. The 19 islands (seven of which are inhabited) possess a distinct identity, they have their own governments, legal systems, and even currency and are known for their olde world charm, stunning landscapes with beautiful beaches, lush countryside, and historical sites. St Peter Port, the largest town on the second largest islands Guernsey, sits around 40 miles off the French coast of Normandy – in the Gulf of St Malo – and the influence of past French culture can still be felt on the island. It's like stepping back in time: St. Peter Port's heart lies in its picturesque harbor, where colorful houses cascade down the hillside, creating a postcard-worthy scene and the bustling harbor is dotted with sailboats and fishing vessels, giving it an authentic maritime ambiance. The town boasts a rich history evident in its architecture. St. Peter Port Castle, dating back to the 13th century, and Castle Cornet, a historic fortress, stand as reminders of the island's past. Georgian and Regency buildings lend an air of timeless elegance to the streets. Naturally, there are plenty of pubs serving pints and fish and chips and tea shops serving cream teas – this is still Britan after all! Be sure to enjoy some authentic Channel Islands fare before you leave.

Le Havre, France
jul 07, 2027
7:00 AM - 9:00 PM
13 EXCURSIONS
With a name that literally means, `the Harbor,` Le Havre is indeed a city that grew out of a need for a working port. In the early 16th century, the harbor at Honfleur was silting up, rendering the port less and less usable. King Francois I had a solution: establish another harbor on the right bank of the Seine estuary, just 15 miles from Honfleur. So it came to pass that in 1517, Le Havre was built. Though it always had a military function, Le Havre flourished essentially as a commercial port, receiving cotton, tobacco and sugar from America and distributing the goods throughout France. But its military role was expanded in the 17th century when the harbor was converted to a naval base. In WWII, Le Havre was pressed into even greater military service as it became a stronghold on the continent. The city you see today is mostly post-war construction-much of Le Havre was destroyed during the war. Its reconstruction was overseen by architect Auguste Perret. Its commercial rebirth was spurred by the bustling port activity that began in the 1960s, and continues today.

Lysekil, Sweden
jul 18, 2027
8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
This west coast harbor, where the Gullmarsfjorden meets the sea, is a favorite haunt of Swedes, who come here to reconnect with the great outdoors and feast on oysters, mussels and other shellfish plucked from the bountiful local waters. While Lysekil built its fortunes on fishing, especially the herring shoals that patrol the Bohuslän coast, someone had the bright idea of promoting the virtues of the salty air and sea in the mid-19th century and turned this place into a fashionable health resort. You can still take a restorative dip in one of the baths, a later edition of the original Kallbadhuset. Overlooking it all is the neo-Gothic church cut from this coast's distinct pink granite.

This vibrant Arctic metropolis is said to be the northernmost city in the world and its attractions come in all shapes and sizes. There's a zigzag path to the top of Salen Hill for views of the surrounding Finnmark plateau. The globe-shaped UNESCO-listed Struve Geodetic Arc was once used to work out the size of the earth. And the triangular contemporary church, consecrated in the early 1960s, was inspired by the racks used to dry fish across the region (marvel at how sunlight illuminates the stained-glass window behind the altar). But for a real curveball, you can join a camel safari across white-sand beaches – no, this is not a mirage.

The island is on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and the cinder cones and lava flows all around make this a geologist's dream.

Cruise Prince Kristian Fjord, Greenland
aug 14, 2027
Traversing this waterway at the southern tip of Greenland packs in all the big-hitters of an Arctic voyage: electric-blue glaciers creeping into the calm waters of the fjord, icebergs bobbing like dazzling white deserted islands, tiny clusters of paintbox-bright wooden huts. In places, this 60-mile fjord system narrows to about 1,500ft, so to cruise through it is to slow right down and gaze in awe-struck silence at the towering granite cliffs all around – and perhaps even spot the spouts and flukes of whales in the icy sea.

Tasiilaq, Greenland
aug 16, 2027
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Anchor
The largest town on Greenland's wild east coast, Tasiilaq is set on mountainous Ammassalik island, a remote place largely frequented by locals and supply ships. This part-uncharted landscape is steeped in Inuit tradition; hunting and dog sledding remain a way of life, and this is one of the few places in Greenland where you can still see Inuit drum dances performed. Visit Stunk artisan's workshop to watch some of the country's best carvers in action, and Tasiilaq Museum, set in a church constructed from a Danish sailing ship that grounded here in 1908, complete with traditional peat house annex.

Siglufjordur, Iceland
aug 18, 2027
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Anchor
We enter Siglufjordur in northern Iceland, a mere 25 miles from the Arctic Circle, along a remote, narrow fjord, an unusual approach that enhances the sense of isolation. There’s a mystical atmosphere to this destination, too – according to local legend, the surrounding mountains are, in fact, frozen trolls caught in sunlight and turned to stone. Yet, Siglufjordur’s history is a little more earthly; this was once the herring capital of the world, which you can explore in the Herring Era Museum. You can also watch the busy modern-day fishermen and women hauling in their day’s catches in the harbor, then enjoy a hot chocolate in one of the cafes at the nearby marina. Mother Nature rules here on the Trollskagi peninsula, a prime place to watch the Northern Lights, often visible in winter, when a glittering blanket of sparkling snow and ice covers the town. In summer, in the magic of the midnight sun, wildflowers bloom bright and bold for as far as the eye can see. Don’t miss: Hearing traditional Icelandic music and poetry at The Folk Music Center, cycling through the dramatic landscape on Siglufjordur’s flat forested trails, taking a scenic drive along Road 76 and calling by the oldest turf church in Iceland.

Isafjordur, Iceland
aug 19, 2027
8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
10 EXCURSIONS
Ringed by dramatic mountains and perched on a narrow fjord-side spit of land, this old trading post's as remote as they come – yet boasts a trending arts scene. Walk among tin-roofed homes built by salt fish merchants, admire seagoing artifacts and – for some reason – a world-class accordion collection at the Maritime Museum. Discoveries further afield might include splendid Icelandic waterfalls, a pint-sized botanic garden in the tundra, and tiny villages dwarfed by their surrounding peaks.
