Discover Reykjavik: gateway to Icelandic beauty
March 2024
Awaken your inner explorer this summer on an epic cruise to one of the world's most spectacular destinations, Iceland, and its captivating capital, Reykjavik. Home to soul-stirring scenery and a culture rich in heritage, this northerly paradise is a must-do. Prepare to be dazzled by extraordinary contrasts, where Nordic traditions spar with modernist architecture, fiery volcanic settings compete with icy glacial majesty, and rugged remoteness contrasts with bustling city life.
Glow in gold-plated grandeur
Reykjavik unlocks a door to some of Iceland's greatest natural wonders, including the Golden Circle's remarkable geological gems. Gaze on shifting tectonic plates and a flower-strewn lava field at Thingvellir. Feel the spray from the epic Gullfoss as you watch rainbows dance in its tumbling waters. Take a 4x4 to traverse icy caves at Langjökull Glacier or descend into Raufarholshellir's astonishing lava tubes. Be blown away by the power of gushing geysers and hot springs. Relax in the healing waters of the mineral-rich Blue Lagoon. From wild mountainscapes to mossy plains, you’ll be dazzled by these ethereal lands of fire and ice.
Reign in Reykjavik's wonders
If natural splendour represents Iceland's soul, then Reykjavik is its pounding heart. Effortlessly cool, the world's most northerly capital buzzes with stylish bars, world-beating restaurants, candy-coloured houses and mesmerizing museums, all lit by the midnight sun. Head to the iconic 'Pearl' for panoramic city views and cutting-edge exhibitions, pay homage to the looming Hallgrimskirkja church, visit Arbaer's historic turf-roofed houses and wander Reykjavik’s heavenly harbour as you soak in the quirky energy of this spectacular city.
