Carbon Neutral Trip
limited edition
Head north—way north—to Iceland and the Faroes, where landscapes feel plucked from fantasy novels. Hike glaciers and volcanic moonscapes, then soak in the Blue Lagoon’s surreal warmth. In the Faroes, trek cliffsides, discover villages so charming it’s downright suspicious, and meet locals eager to spill island secrets.

Experience Designer
Good to know
Food
Faroese cuisine leans heavily into seafood and lamb. Vegan and vegetarian diets can be accommodated with limited options.
Service
The Faroe Islands remain a hidden gem, with tourism infrastructure still evolving. Outside the capital, services are limited, and true luxury lies in experiencing this untouched paradise before the crowds arrive.
Packing
The Faroe Islands can have variable weather throughout the day, with some wind, rain and cooler temperatures. We recommend packing layers and a Gore-Tex raincoat to stay comfortable and dry.
