Yes it was Good Morning, (or Good Day), Iceland on the 17th July for me and my lovely wife. Since this is my first trip report and I‘ve never uploaded pictures to AFF I ask for forgiveness in advance if I mess up.
We are doing an APT cruise on Ms. Hebridean Sky and joined her in Reykjavik on 18th July. It‘s a clockwise circumnavigation of Iceland and we have nine nights on board.
This is the proposed route, which seems to be the standard cruise route judging by the number of cruise ships going around there at the moment. The map is courtesy of the APT Touring website.
This is Hebridean Sky.
We understand that APT is part owner of Hebridean Sky with Noble Caledonia of the UK. She is the almost identical sister ship to “Island Sky” and “Caledonian Sky” and they take around 100 to 110 passengers with a crew of approximately 70. It's the size we like and we’ve done two APT cruises on “Island Sky” and were very happy with the ship and the service. I will upload some more pictures of the ship along the way. Since we are circumnavigating clockwise we chose a cabin (Suite!) on the Starboard side of the ship and in this case a nice corner cabin on the Mawson Deck.
Getting there
We flew in PE on a 777 with Cathay Pacific via HK. It’s CX100 from Sydney and CX237 from HK to LHR. Our seats were 32HK all the way, in the 32 seat premium economy cabin just behind J.
We got a great view of the Sydney CBD and harbour on the way out of Kingsford Smith. Our PE seats have seatback screen, good earphones and small kit that we didn't open that we think has socks, eyeshades, toothpaste and brush. We got welcome sparkly, juice or water plus a hot towel. Then offered drinks about 20 minutes after take off, which was on time.
