Cruise Overview
You’ll fly from the UK to Keflavik International and check in to your 4* City Centre Hotel for the night. After breakfast the next morning there will be more time to explore the capital Reykjavik before embarking the Norwegian Star for a late afternoon departure.
Our first stop is situated in West Iceland on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, Grundarfjörður is a small fishing village boasting big outdoor adventures. Hike in the surrounding mountains, explore lava fields and visit picturesque waterfalls. Or take to the water on a boating or kayaking tour. And in the summer months, enjoy Viking age re-enactments in a reconstructed Viking village.
Akureyri is our next stop, nestled along the shores of one of the most breath-taking fjords in Iceland, Akureyri is the nation's second largest urban area and a centre of Icelandic folk culture. Visit the museums, hike along the extraordinary vistas or explore the botanical gardens. Shop in one of the charming boutiques and then catch a glimpse of the most northerly 18-hole golf course in the world.
We then move on to Isafjordur, as the largest town in Iceland's remote Westfjords's region, Ísafjörður is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts.

Located on its namesake island in the Labrador Sea, Nanortalik is the country's southern-most town. The name Nanortalik means "Place of Polar Bears" because the pack ice brings the animals to the area in the spring and summer. High mountain peaks, deep fjords, pockets of woodlands, expansive glaciers and enticing hot springs all await your exploration. From kayaking excursions and whale watching tours, to hiking, fishing, climbing or simply soaking in a hot spring, there are many ways you can experience this unique region.
