Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Tuesday - Jun 24, 2025
Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik, Iceland
Arrive in Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, which lies just below the Arctic Circle. Transfer from the airport to the city and spend the day exploring at your own pace. Check in with the hospitality desk this afternoon before embarking the ship.
Day 2 - Wednesday - Jun 25, 2025
Westfjords, Iceland
Explore the beautiful and peaceful Westfjords region of Iceland. Hike or kayak along the base of a fjord to discover a towering waterfall. Enter Isafjardardjup, known for its wealth of animal life, including whales, seals, and countless nesting seabirds. Land at Vigur Island, a fragile wildlife sanctuary, where the landowners continue the traditional eiderdown collection and cleaning process and are active stewards of the colonies of puffins and black guillemots who call the island home (visit subject to nesting seabird season and not available on all dates).
Day 3 - Thursday - Jun 26, 2025
Siglufjordur, Iceland
Siglufjordur was the center of Iceland's once-thriving herring industry. Stop by the Herring Museum for a salting demonstration and a tasting. Enjoy the surroundings of Iceland's northernmost mainland settlement by joining the local forestry association, one of over 50 associations in Iceland, for an afternoon of conservation in their local forest. Learn what it takes to maintain and develop a forest on this volcanic island.
Day 4 - Friday - Jun 27, 2025
Husavik, Iceland
Husavik, Iceland
Husavik, the site of the oldest settlement in Iceland, is your gateway to the geological exploration of northern Iceland. Depart for a full day overland visiting one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland, Godafoss, as well as the Lake Myvatn area, the most geologically active area in Iceland. Alternatively, enjoy an adventurous journey hiking through Asbyrgi Canyon, said to be formed by the hoof of Odin's eight-legged horse, or stay along the coast and choose a slower pace for the day with forest bathing, bird watching, and a soak in the Geosea bath.
Day 5 - Saturday - Jun 28, 2025
Borgarfjardarhofn, Iceland
Located on the eastern shore of Iceland, Bakkagerdi is well known for its welcoming local puffin colony. Walk across boardwalks to witness these colorful symbols of Icelandic wildlife. Once you've captured your best photo of the famous auk species, take an invigorating hike up to the best panoramic view of the fjord or challenge yourself to a backcountry mountain bike journey to remote overlooks and stunning vistas.
Day 6 - Sunday - Jun 29, 2025
Djupivogur, Iceland
Djupivogur, Iceland
Arrive in the town of Djupivogur and set out by 4x4 vehicle to visit some of the secluded valleys and remote waterfalls in the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, drive down the coast to explore the foot of the vast Vatnajokull icecap and the deep blue icebergs of the large ice lagoon of Jokulsarlon. Or, join a hike to the black-sand beaches near the town center.
Day 7 - Monday - Jun 30, 2025
Surtsey, Iceland
Heimaey, Iceland
The Westman Islands were formed by undersea volcanoes between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago and are among the youngest of the world's archipelagos. In 1963, the world witnessed on film the birth of its newest island, Surtsey-a UNESCO World Heritage Site-which you'll see as you cruise past the coast. In 1973, Heimaey was threatened by lava flows that nearly closed off its harbor. Visit the crater, where the earth is still hot, for amazing views of areas that had been engulfed by lava.
