The Northern Hemisphere summer months, July and August, are the warmest and most popular time to visit the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland, and Scotland. And you can take in the scenic delights on a cruise with The Senior and Travelrite next year.

Travellers will be able to immerse themselves on this amazing cruise, from July 26-August 13, 2023, on board the MS Rotterdam.

Kicking off in Amsterdam, the tour begins with a sightseeing excursion which includes a city canal cruise. Another day is spent exploring Amsterdam before the group boards the MS Rotterdam for the voyage to Norway.

Bergen, The City of Seven Mountains, is home to colourful warehouses that line the city's streets and waterfront.

Molde, in north-western Norway, is next on the itinerary with its white clapboard houses, sparkling fjord, 200 mountain peaks and spectacular Atlantic coastal drive.

Back onboard, the destination is Akureyri, Iceland. Here, the group will visit one of Iceland's most famous turf houses at Laufs. This 19th-century turf farmhouse is now one of the last traditional turf farms in the country.

We'll also explore the city of Akureyri's centre.

The tour arrives in Isafjrdur and heads out to the surrounding country - a beautiful but often harsh landscape.

The awesome beauty of the fjords on the north-west coast and mountains rising from the sea, add to the breathtaking scenery, making this a memorable day.

Iceland - "The Land of Fire and Ice" - has more to reveal as the expedition heads to Reykjavik, the capital and gateway to the country's stunning natural wonders.

A coach ride takes the group to the Golden Circle, home of the country's three most popular attractions - Thingveller National Park, the Geyser geothermal area and the Gullfoss waterfall, where water tumbles spectacularly into a deep meandering gorge.

The following day we hit the city of Rekjavik and see Hofdi House, the Perlan building and Reykjavik's iconic cathedral.

Visit the royal and ancient capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, considered one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Picture: Shutterstock

Then there's time to relax at sea on the way to the Shetland Islands.

Landing in Lerwick, Shetland's only town, the tour takes in 16th century Scalloway Castle, the Tingwall Valley, some Norse heritage and the island's famous Shetland ponies.

Bonny Scotland is then in our sights. Arriving in Inverness, we'll visit the Loch Ness Exhibition centre in the village of Drumnadrochit and see magnificent Urquhart Castle, direct to you from the 14th century.

Day 16 is reserved for the royal and ancient capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, a city considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Travellers will marvel at the ancient Royal Mile with its cobbled streets - the backbone of the medieval Old Town that runs from the Palace of Holyroodhouse all the way to Edinburgh Castle. At the castle we'll see the Scottish Crown Jewels and historic Stone of Destiny.

The tour then heads back to Amsterdam for flights back to Australia.

Prices start at just $9390 twin share and $12,990 single.
