In these northern lands, history and myth intertwine with nature. Viking sagas echo from ancient stone circles, sacred abbeys sit on windswept shores, and tales of resilience emerge from volcanic landscapes. Every site holds a story — if you know where to look.
Here, sacred means many things: a place of worship, a place of survival, or a place where the land itself commands reverence. These experiences bring you closer to the human stories written into the fabric of the North — stories of belief, adaptation, and endurance.
In our curated Your Choice experiences, we invite you to step through the layers of history. From Neolithic wonders to Viking legacies and modern resilience, discover the narratives that shape these extraordinary places.
Walk in the footsteps of Neolithic settlers at Skara Brae, Europe’s best-preserved prehistoric village. Explore stone dwellings frozen in time, and uncover the mysteries of a society that thrived here 5,000 years ago — long before the first Viking sails crossed these seas.
Witness a modern tale of survival at Eldheimar, where the 1973 eruption of Heimaey transformed a community. Explore the dramatic story of the islanders’ evacuation and return, then visit puffin nesting cliffs, where life continues to thrive against the odds.
Step into Iceland’s Viking age through immersive storytelling and live demonstrations. Experience the craftsmanship, cuisine and warrior culture of these legendary seafarers — and gain new insight into the enduring impact of Viking heritage on the modern North.
