Encircled by mountains and the sea, Reykjavik is minutes away from Iceland’s unspoiled rugged nature as the presence of arctic terns, wild geese and ducks in the city centre can testify. You will be fascinated by the natural sites and exceptional geology which surround the Icelandic capital.

About 12 km off the coast lie a group of volcanic islands and islets comprising the Vestman Archipelago.

Day 3 - At Sea

Day 4 - Djupivogur, Iceland

Arrive: Tue 30 June 2026 / Depart: Tue 30 June 2026

Djúpivogur is a small town and municipality located on a peninsula in the Austurland in eastern Iceland. The coastline consists of three magnificent fjords, Berufjörður, Hamarsfjörður, and Álftafjörður which create a striking landscape to explore. On land, the town is shadowed by Búlandstindur, a pyramid-shaped basalt mountain peaking at 1069 m, making for an incredible sight. Numerous local legends surround this mountain, which is said to grant wishes during the summer solstice.

Day 5 - Grimsey Island

Arrive: Wed 01 July 2026 / Depart: Wed 01 July 2026

Grimsey is the northernmost island of Iceland surging from the Arctic ocean, with the Arctic circle running through the island. Its contrasted contours are surprising. From Grímseyjarhreppur, the island’s only town located on the west coast, then heading due south, you can take in the beauty of the hillsides, lushly carpeted with moss and grass. On the rest of the coastline, imposing basalt cliffs inhabited by sea birds stand proud.

Day 6 - Akureyri

Arrive: Thu 02 July 2026 / Depart: Thu 02 July 2026

Capital of the North and lying just south of the Arctic Circle, Akureyri (Iceland) is the Iceland’s most beautiful town with its many gardens and colourfully painted houses. This is our point of departure for a visit to Lake Myvatn, shaped by volcanic eruptions, and the famous “Waterfall of the Gods” at Godafoss.

Day 7 - Isafjordur

Arrive: Fri 03 July 2026 / Depart: Fri 03 July 2026

Your ship will take you to the heart of the fjords of North-West Iceland, a wild land of lost valleys and steep cliffs, where man struggles to survive. In this very isolated region we find the Isafjörður fjord, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the country, mainly for its relief, forged by many very ancient basaltic flows. The town of Isafjörður, which nestles at the back of its fjord, between imposing mountains, is a delightful little town that lives exclusively from fishing. The capital of the Western fjords, its old wooden houses bear witness to its past as a major fishing port.

Day 8 - Grundarfjordur, Iceland

Arrive: Sat 04 July 2026 / Depart: Sat 04 July 2026

This secret boreal hideaway is located at the foot of the Kirkjufell, on Snaefellsnes peninsula. Arriving by boat means you’ll get a closer view of the lava-stone rock standing like a sentinel at the entrance to the bay; Grundarfjörður lies sheltered behind this cone-shaped rock. A stone’s throw from the jetty, crystal clear waters, tundra and beaches give onto the cerulean waters of Breiðafjörður. Scattered with its emerald-coloured lawns, this town, with its buildings that merge into the surrounding countryside, will most certainly win your favour.
