Iceland

Cruise ships most often call at the ports of Reykjavík, Akureyri, Ísafjörður, Seyðisfjörður or Grundarfjörður, from where you can set out to discover the island's greatest natural and cultural treasures. The best-known highlights include the famous Golden Circle, taking in the UNESCO-listed Þingvellir National Park, the active Strokkur geyser and the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. Iceland is also renowned for dozens of other stunning waterfalls, such as Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and Dettifoss, as well as vast lava fields, glacier lagoons and active volcanoes. The capital, Reykjavík, is also well worth a visit, with its modern architecture, museums and interesting sights that bring the history and culture of this remarkable country to life.

Iceland is a dream for everyone who loves untamed nature and extraordinary experiences. Hiking trails lead past glaciers, across colourful mountain ranges and lava fields, and through areas where more than one active volcano towers above the landscape. Wildlife lovers can spot typical Icelandic animals such as puffins, whales, seals and the famous Icelandic horses. Tasting traditional Icelandic food, based on fresh fish, lamb and local specialities, is another unforgettable experience. If you are wondering what not to miss during your visit, a unique combination of volcanic landscapes, geothermal springs, glaciers, waterfalls and dramatic coastline awaits you. It is precisely this diversity that makes Iceland a destination you will never forget.
