Circumnavigating Iceland’s rugged lands, uncovering beautiful scenery and natural wonders throughout your journey, makes for an unforgettable, simply spellbinding cruise adventure. Stopping at Reykjavik for an overnight stay affords ample time for an in-depth exploration of the astonishing Golden Circle, to feel the heat from bubbling geysirs and hear the roar of thundering waterfalls; and for a visit to the beautiful Blue Lagoon, to bathe in its soothing, mineral-rich geothermal waters. At Ísafjörður and Seyðisfjörður – only accessible to smaller ships such as Balmoral – some of Iceland’s most remote, hard-to-reach treasures await. Ísafjörður is your gateway to remote Vigur Island and Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, an unspoilt wonderland of lush tundra, towering cliffs and waterfalls; and a visit to Seyðisfjörður will present you with panoramas filled magnificent, simply unforgettable scenery. For an experience of a lifetime, you could also join a whale watching adventure – to look out for whales, dolphins and porpoises living freely in their unspoilt natural habitat – from Akureyri, which is also the starting point for tours to glorious Godafoss waterfall and Lake Mývatn.
