Iceland- Iceland's capital and largest city is located on the country's southwest coast at the head of Faxafloi Bay. Settled in 877 A.D., Reykjavik has grown into an important seaport and center of government and education with theatres, museums and observatories. Interestingly, this modern city still chooses to use water from nearby hot springs to heat all of its buildings.
And you’ll find on your cruise to Reykjavik that the culinary scene is eclectic and awesome. The seafood is amazing just about anywhere throughout the city and traditional Nordic salt cod or fish stews are readily available. But there is no shortage of international culinary favorites like French and all sorts of new Nordic fusion-style options as well. Explore the city’s artistic boutiques for authentic Icelandic souvenirs and trinkets, like music boxes, unique clothing, driftwood furniture and fish-skin handbags.Your ship departs promptly at 7:00pm, so we recommend arriving at least 2-3 hours early to smoothly navigate check-in and boarding. All ship amenities are open and ready, so kickstart your vacation with a refreshing drink or a delicious snack.

Discover some of Iceland’s most extraordinary natural beauty on a cruise to tiny Grundarfjordur. The town clings to a small peninsula at the head of a deep bay on the craggy Snæfellsnes Peninsula, north of Reykjavik. The landscape here is dominated by the pyramid-shaped Kirkjufell, or Church Mountain, said to be Iceland’s most photographed mountain. The appearance of the mountain changes constantly, whether it’s draped in cloud, mirrored in glass-calm water on a clear day, or glowing as it reflects the setting sun.
In nearby Kirkjufell you can visit Kirkjufellsfoss, a series of low but beautiful waterfalls tumbling over a rock shelf, as well as the much higher Grundarfoss, which plunges 230 feet over a wall of basalt. In town, the Saga Center displays photographs of life in Grundarfjordur in days gone by. Wander along the waterfront, or embark on one of the many adventures available on an Iceland cruise that calls in Grundarfjordur, like kayaking, hiking through the vast landscapes of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, horseback riding, and whale-watching. -
Isafjordur, the largest town in the Westfjords peninsula, is known for its breathtaking landscapes. Here guests can enjoy and wide variety of outdoor activities from biking, hiking, kayaking and horseback riding to whale watching. They can explore the history of the town that started as a trading post in the 16th century with growth triggered in the 19th century by salt fish production which is still the most important industry for the town.
