Day 3 - Thursday - Jun 11, 2026

Patreksfjordur, Iceland, Iceland

Dynjand, Iceland

Over the next three days, we explore the Westfjords region featuring outstanding landscapes with jaw-dropping views of dramatic fjords carved by ancient glaciers, sheer table mountains that plunge into the sea, and pristine North Atlantic vegetation. At Patreksfjordur, a shore excursion by motorcoach takes us to Latrabjarg cliffs. As Europe's largest bird cliff, Latrabjarg is home to millions of seabirds, such as puffin, razorbill, fulmar, and guillemot. Enjoy the impressive variety of natural wonders and unspoiled nature. Latrabjarg also happens to be the westernmost point in Europe, east coast of the North American continent on the other side of the Atlantic. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the afternoon as we cruise northward, taking in breathtaking landscapes and keeping a watchful eye for whales. Later, we'll get to test out our muck boots and embark on a Zodiac wet landing to witness the awe-inspiring power of Dynjandi waterfall. Return to the ship via Zodiac after your shore excursion.

Day 4 - Friday - Jun 12, 2026

Thingeyri, Iceland

Thingeyri, a quaint village nestled on a slender strip of land, graces the shores of one of Iceland's most picturesque fjords, Dyrafjordur. Much like many other coastal settlements in Iceland, the village's culture and industry have been intricately woven with the influence of the sea over centuries. The surrounding landscape is adorned with towering mountains, lending a distinctive charm to the scenic expanse that envelops Thingeyri. This idyllic region is often hailed as the "Alps of the Westfjords", especially the highland area nestled between the majestic fjords of Dyrafjordur and Arnarfjordur. The beauty of Thingeyri lies not only in its coastal simplicity but also in the dramatic backdrop of high mountains that paints a captivating portrait of this Icelandic village. Access Thingeyri by Zodiac, with a short cruise before dry landing.

Day 5 - Saturday - Jun 13, 2026

Vigur Island, Iceland

Isafjordur, Iceland

This morning's landing is by Zodiac, bringing you ashore at the enchanting island of Vigur, a rare jewel in the Isafjardardjup fjord. Home to only a handful of people, yet millions of seabirds, Vigur offers a glimpse into an untouched world. Birdwatchers may add rare species to their lists, while others simply wander along the shoreline or follow gentle trails across the island's rolling green hills. Puffins, Arctic terns, eider ducks, and black guillemots nest here in astonishing numbers, creating an unforgettable symphony of sound and movement. Along the way, discover traditional eiderdown farming, historic buildings, and the island's tiny post office - the smallest in Iceland. With its vibrant birdlife, sweeping views, and authentic Icelandic heritage, a visit to Vigur is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Return to the ship by Zodiac, carrying memories of one of Iceland's most treasured gems. Later, we visit Isafjordur, surrounded by sheer mountains and steeped in history, evident in its preserved wooden architecture. Delight in its lively cultural scene and abundant outdoor activities.

Day 6 - Sunday - Jun 14, 2026

Grundarfjordur, Iceland

Grundarfjordur is the starting point of our adventures on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, gateway to Snaefellsjokull National Park. Snaefellsnes Peninsula is an area of diverse landscapes that is characterized by lava fields and glistening fjords and home to a vast array of birdlife. The area is crowned by the magnificent, ice-capped Snaefellsjokull volcano, a 700,000-year-old dormant subglacial volcano, visible from Reykjavik on a clear day and immortalized in Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth. You can choose from three shore excursion options that best suits your interests and level of fitness.
