Spend two days in the charming Icelandic capital, Reykjavík. Here, the brightly painted wooden buildings contrast sharply with the rugged splendour of its setting beneath Mount Ejsa. Step ashore to explore, take the lift to the top of the Hallgrímskirkja Church for a panoramic view, or visit the fascinating Arbaer Folk Museum and the Saga Museum.
Arrive: 0700hrs
Depart: 1900hrs
Early this morning Amy Johnson rounds Cape Farewell, the southern tip of the Greenland archipelago. The day will be spent at anchor off pretty Qaqortoq, and you’ll have the chance to step ashore and explore Southern Greenland’s largest settlement – of only 3000 inhabitants.
Arrive: 0500hrs
Depart: 1900hrs
Today Amy Johnson calls in Narsarsuaq, which means "Great Plain". The nearby waters teem with trout, and are home to humpback and minke whales. As you bid farewell to Greenland, sailing out across the Tunulliarfik Fjord, there may well be sightings of these amazing creatures.
Arrive: 0600hrs
Depart: 1600hrs
Sisimiut, 40 miles beyond the Arctic Circle, is a hunting and fishing paradise, and a centre of Inuit culture. Join a shore excursion to learn about this place, whose name translates as "the people at the fox burrows".
Arrive: 0800hrs (Day 13)
Depart: 2300hrs (Day 14)
Appropriately, given that its name means "icebergs", Ilulissat is a great place to watch these frozen masses, and search the seas for the whales and other marine mammals that live among them. The town was also the birthplace of Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen, and his life is celebrated there in the museum that bears his name.
Arrive: 0500hrs
Depart: 1300hrs
Qeqertarsuaq is home to the Arctic’s oldest continuously manned research station. A morning here offers the unusual experience of dog-sledding in summer, and the chance to kayak past the beautiful icebergs in the bay.
Arrive: 0900hrs
Depart: 1430hrs
This morning, Amy Johnson arrives at Nanortalik, the southernmost town in Greenland. Nanortalik means "place of polar bears" but despite this association it was of the first places settled by the Norsemen on their way across from Iceland, and is now the country's 10th largest settlement. It's also the closest town to Greenland's only natural forest, which grows in the shelter of the Quinngua Valley just 25 miles away.
Arrive: 1200hrs
Depart: 1900hrs
Today Amy Johnson arrives in Kirkwall, Orkney's historic capital. Wander the streets and marvel at magnificent St Magnus Cathedral, or join an excursion to see the waters of nearby Scapa Flow, Churchill's famous Barriers or the Italian Chapel.
Arrive: 0800hrs
Bid farewell to Amy Johnson and all your fellow travellers, today, as you disembark at the end of your Greenland cruise adventure.
