PORTS OF CALL
Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik is more than the bookends of your Icelandic cruise; it is the essential prologue and epilogue to your entire journey. To arrive on the day of embarkation is to read a book starting on chapter three. This is a city and a region that demand—and richly reward—a pre- or post-cruise stay of at least two days. Doing so provides the cultural and geological context for everything you will witness from the sea, transforming your voyage from a scenic tour into a profound exploration.
As the world's northernmost capital, Reykjavik is a captivating blend of cosmopolitan energy and small-town charm, all set against a backdrop of raw, untamed nature. The city itself is remarkably compact, safe, and walkable, its streets buzzing with a creative spirit evident in its vibrant street art, independent boutiques, and world-class museums. This is not a city of grand, ancient monuments, but one of dynamic, contemporary culture.
**Exploring the Capital's Core**
Your first day is best spent on foot, acquainting yourself with the city's rhythm. The iconic Hallgrímskirkja church, an architectural marvel inspired by Iceland's basalt columns, is your primary landmark. Take the elevator to its observation deck for a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city's colorful rooftops, the surrounding bay, and the distant mountains. From there, wander down the main shopping streets of Laugavegur and Skólavörðustígur, browsing for distinctive Icelandic wool sweaters (lopapeysa), volcanic jewelry, and clever design goods.
The waterfront is another highlight. Stroll to the mesmerizing Harpa Concert Hall, a dazzling structure of geometric glass panels that shimmer with the changing light. A short walk from there leads to the elegant Sun Voyager (Sólfar) sculpture, a steel ode to the sun that offers a perfect frame for photos against the backdrop of Mount Esja.
For a dose of history, the National Museum of Iceland offers a superb and accessible narrative of the nation's journey from Viking settlement to modern republic. Alternatively, The Settlement Exhibition is built around the excavated ruins of a 10th-century longhouse, offering a tangible connection to the city's earliest inhabitants.
**The Essential Journey Beyond the City**
The most compelling reason to extend your stay is the opportunity to experience the raw power of Iceland's interior. The legendary Golden Circle is a manageable and unforgettable day trip. This classic route includes three essential sites:
1. **Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park:** A site of immense historical and geological significance. This is where the world's first parliament, the Althing, convened in 930 AD. It's also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are actively pulling apart, allowing you to walk in the rift valley between continents.
2. **Geysir Geothermal Area:** Witness the earth's raw power as the Strokkur geyser erupts, blasting a column of superheated water up to 100 feet into the air every 5-10 minutes. The area is a landscape of bubbling mud pots and steaming fumaroles.
3. **Gullfoss Waterfall:** The "Golden Falls" is a thundering, two-tiered cascade that is simply awe-inspiring. On a sunny day, rainbows form in its powerful spray. You can walk along paths to get remarkably close to the edge.
For relaxation, Iceland's geothermal spa culture is a must. The Blue Lagoon is the world-famous option, a luxurious (and often crowded) experience in a surreal lava field. For a more contemporary and often less-crowded alternative, the Sky Lagoon is closer to Reykjavik and features a stunning infinity-edge pool with dramatic ocean views.
**Dining and Practical Advice**
Icelandic cuisine focuses on pristine, local ingredients. Don't miss the chance to try fresh Arctic char, succulent free-range lamb, or a bowl of hearty lamb soup (kjötsúpa). For an authentic and unpretentious local experience, join the queue at Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur for a world-famous Icelandic hot dog. The city also boasts a thriving coffee culture and a burgeoning craft beer scene.
* **Getting Around:** From Keflavik Airport (KEF), efficient bus services (Flybus, Airport Direct) are the best way to reach the city. For the Golden Circle, renting a car provides maximum flexibility, while small-group tours offer a well-paced, informative, and stress-free alternative.
* **Reservations:** Iceland's popularity means booking is essential. Reserve accommodations, rental cars, and popular tours (especially the Blue Lagoon) several months in advance.
**A Suggested Two-Day Pre-Cruise Itinerary**
* **Day 1: Urban Immersion & Coastal Charm**
* **Morning:** Arrive at KEF, take a transfer to your Reykjavik hotel. Drop your luggage and head out for a coffee and pastry at a local cafe like Reykjavík Roasters.
* **Afternoon:** Walk to Hallgrímskirkja and ascend for the views. Explore the shops on Skólavörðustígur and Laugavegur.
* **Evening:** Stroll the waterfront to see the Sun Voyager and Harpa Concert Hall. Enjoy dinner at a restaurant like Messinn for their fantastic, pan-served fish dishes.
* **Day 2: The Golden Circle Adventure**
* **Full Day:** Embark on a pre-booked small-group tour or pick up your rental car. Spend the day experiencing the wonders of Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss. Most tours and self-drive routes allow for a lunch stop along the way.
* **Evening:** Return to Reykjavik in the late afternoon. Enjoy a final Icelandic dinner or visit a craft brewery to toast the start of your adventure before you embark on your cruise the following day.
At Sea - Cruising
Seydisfjordur, Iceland
The arrival into Seydisfjordur is an experience in itself, a slow passage down a 10-mile-long fjord flanked by steep mountainsides streaked with waterfalls. The town that awaits is one of Iceland's most picturesque, a compact collection of colorful, 19th-century Norwegian-style wooden buildings nestled at the water's edge. The primary activity here is a simple, delightful walk through the village center.
The undeniable focal point is the iconic rainbow-painted path leading to the pale blue Seyðisfjarðarkirkja church, a scene of gentle charm. For its small size, Seydisfjordur has a surprisingly vibrant artistic soul, nurtured by a community of creatives and anchored by the Skaftfell Center for Visual Art. You'll find small galleries and workshops that lend a bohemian character to the historic streets.
For a dose of raw nature, an easy and accessible walk from town leads to the beautiful Gufufoss waterfall, a powerful cascade just off the main road. Alternatively, simply strolling the fjord's edge offers tranquility and the chance to spot seals. Seydisfjordur isn't a place of grand monuments; its profound appeal lies in its preserved character, creative spirit, and serene, dramatic setting.
Akureyri, Iceland
Nestled at the head of Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord, Akureyri is a surprisingly green and vibrant town that serves as the gateway to the spectacular natural wonders of the north. While often called Iceland's 'second city,' it's best understood not as a metropolis, but as a charming and highly walkable base for profound encounters with nature.
The town itself is a pleasure to explore on foot. A short walk from the pier leads to the town center, where you can ascend the steps to the iconic Akureyrarkirkja, a Lutheran church whose commanding presence offers fine views over the fjord. Nearby, the Akureyri Botanical Garden is a peaceful oasis and one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world, showcasing a remarkable collection of arctic and temperate flora.
However, Akureyri’s primary value for most visitors lies in the world-class excursions it enables. The most popular is a trip to Goðafoss, the ‘Waterfall of the Gods,’ a powerful and historically significant cascade that is both beautiful and easily accessible. For those with a full day, the Lake Mývatn region is an unforgettable journey into a geothermal wonderland of bubbling mud pots, surreal lava formations at Dimmuborgir, and vast volcanic craters. The Mývatn Nature Baths offer a more tranquil, less crowded alternative to the Blue Lagoon.
For a marine adventure, whale watching tours depart directly from the harbor. The calm, nutrient-rich waters of Eyjafjörður are one of the world's most reliable places to see humpback whales, often just a short boat ride from port. Akureyri provides the perfect balance: a delightful town experience combined with direct access to some of Iceland’s most essential landscapes.
Isafjordur, Iceland
Isafjordur is the gateway to Iceland's remote and dramatic Westfjords, a region defined by raw, untamed beauty. The town itself, the largest in the peninsula, is a quiet fishing hub nestled deep within a fjord and flanked by steep, table-top mountains. Its compact center is easily explored on foot, offering a glimpse into local life with its well-preserved 18th-century wooden buildings and the Westfjords Heritage Museum.
However, the primary reason for a visit is the staggering natural landscape that surrounds it. From the port, accessible excursions unlock the region's best features. A short boat trip to Vigur Island reveals a remarkable bird sanctuary, home to puffins, eider ducks, and Arctic terns in season. For a truly memorable experience, consider the journey to the magnificent Dynjandi waterfall; be advised, it's a significant drive over a mountain pass, but the view of its cascading tiers is a powerful reward. Kayaking on the serene fjord waters provides another way to connect with the immense scale of the landscape. Isafjordur offers a profound immersion into one of Iceland's most spectacular and isolated settings.

Located in the historical and scenic heart of downtown Reykjavik by Old Harbor port, this 5-star luxury hotel is a 45-minute car ride from the airport and just steps away from the city’s vibrant shopping district. The Reykjavik EDITION is the perfect jumping off point for exploring the wonders of the region, with the renowned Blue Lagoon within driving distance and the Northern Lights visible in the city during the winter solstice. You needn’t leave the property to find something to look at, however; the hotel offers bedrooms and suites with spectacular views of the harbor, Mt. Esja, and the legendary Snæfellsjökull glacier.

Offbeat Relaxation
Spanning six connected buildings, this hotel's décor reflects its eclectic past as a furniture factory, music venue, and arts hub. Its rooms are steps from the shopping and nightlife of Laugavegur Street and Reykjavik city center. Audibly-inclined guests are invited to choose from a diverse vinyl collection and grab a portable record player for some in-room listening.
Miðgarður by Center Hotels is positioned at one end of the city’s main shopping street. On Thursday nights, the ever-lively Jörgensen Kitchen & Bar celebrates both local produce and talent with live music performances. For a real treat, check out the hotel spa and take a dip under an Icelandic sky in the thermal-water hot tub.
