Your Itinerary

Panoramic cityscape of Reykjavik

Reykjavik, Iceland Tue 19 May 2026

Panoramic cityscape of Reykjavik

Your expedition cruise starts in Reykjavík – a laid-back city of art, culture and history, delightful Reykjavík is well worth spending some time getting to know.

Take a stroll along Laugavegur with its boutiques and outdoor shops, gaze in awe at the striking Hallgrímskirkja Church, and drop in on the fascinating Reykjavík Art Museum.

Your expedition ship awaits you in Reykjavík Harbour. After being welcomed aboard and collecting your complimentary expedition jacket, it's time to settle into your cabin before enjoying your first dinner aboard.

Picturesque Kirkjufell near to Grundarfjordur

Grundarfjörður, Iceland Wed 20 May 2026

Picturesque Kirkjufell near to Grundarfjordur

The majestic Kirkjufell mountain, one of the best-known landmarks of Iceland, rises just two miles west of the small harbour of Grundarfjörður, a quaint fishing town in Breiðafjörður bay.

Nearby lies Snæfellsnes Peninsula National Park, with the striking, ice-capped Snæfellsjökull volcano at the peninsula’s western tip. It’s nicknamed 'Little Iceland' for the array of landscapes.

At the national park, you can visit Djúpalónssandur’s black sand beach and the Saxhóll crater. Or, why not ride a snowcat to the top of the Snæfellsjökull glacier or take a guided underground tour along a gigantic lava tube

Road leading into Isafjordur

Isafjörður, Iceland Thu 21 May 2026

Road leading into Isafjordur

Flanked by towering mountains on all sides, Ísafjörður is a nearly perfect natural harbour and an excellent gateway to the Westfjords region. Stroll around to see the architecture, shop for a variety of local handicrafts and view some of the oldest houses in Iceland.

One of these historic 18th century buildings is home to Westfjords Heritage Museum, where you can learn about the maritime past of this fascinating port. Or if you prefer something more energetic, you could take the steep hike up to Naustahvilft – the Troll’s Throne. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts at the top by the stunning panoramic view.

Godafoss waterfall, close to Akureyri

Akureyri & Goðafoss Waterfall, Iceland Fri 22 May 2026

Godafoss waterfall, close to Akureyri

Gaze at snowcapped peaks as we cruise into Eyjafjörður, Iceland's longest fjord. Together with neighbouring Skjálfandi bay, it's one of the best places in Europe to spot whales.

Iceland’s so-called 'Northern Capital,’ Akureyri sits at the fjord head. Here, you can enjoy the oasis of a botanical garden and visit local eateries and museums.

A little further afield, witness the picturesque Goðafoss waterfall, where turquoise waters pound against black rocks. You'll witness geology come to life around Lake Mývatn, an active volcanic area and one of the few places to see the Mid-Atlantic Ridge up close.

Husavik, Iceland

Husavik, Iceland Sat 23 May 2026

Husavik, Iceland

Húsavík is a pleasant small-town famous for its whale-watching opportunities, and we’ll be calling here in the morning. The town looks out over Skjálfandi bay, which enjoys visits from humpback and minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises and occasionally blue whales. If you’re lucky, you might see one or more of these giants at sea, and you can learn more about them at Húsavík’s Whale Museum.

Bakkagerdi, Iceland

Bakkagerði , Iceland Sun 24 May 2026

Bakkagerdi, Iceland

Your Iceland cruise continues to Bakkagerði, a tiny, remote settlement. According to folklore, Bakkagerði is inhabited by a large population of local land spirits or elves, known as huldufólk, meaning 'hidden people'. Walk around town to explore this magical place.

Woman looking out over the cliffs in Heimaey

Heimaey’s explosive past Mon 25 May 2026

Woman looking out over the cliffs in Heimaey

Visit Eldheimar museum, and learn more about the eruption and its aftermath. Or, take a hike to seek out puffins at Stórhöfði. Don’t miss climbing Mount Eldfell – at the volcano’s summit you’ll have incredible views of the town below
