07 Jul 2027
Time at Port: TBD
On a peninsula in the Austurland area of eastern Iceland, close to the island of Papey and on the Berufjörur fjord, is the small settlement and former municipality of Djupivogur. On October 1, 1992, the rural settlements of Berunes, Buland, and Geithellur merged to form the municipality. A picturesque town that's full of charm and extraordinary attractions, it makes for a wonderful stop off whilst on your cruise.
Things to do in Djupivogur:
Gallery Freevilli
Whilst in Djupivogur, head to the Gallery Freevilli - a significant art gallery in the town that’s housed in a vibrant red building. Full of arts and crafts made from things found on the shore (including objects made out of fish skeletons), this unique and free gallery is worth a visit.
Bóndavarða
Situated on a hill on the outskirts of the town, the Bondavaroa offers incredible views out towards the surrounding fjord. A fun and picturesque hiking trail, the view that you’ll be granted with from the observation deck is great for those wanting to see all the local landmarks.
Djúpivogur Mural
Located in the heart of the town, the colourful Djupivogur Mural makes for a great photo opportunity whilst stopping off in the town and is a significant local attraction.
Heimaey, Westmann Islands
DAY 10
08 Jul 2027
Time at Port: TBD
The Westmann Islands are made up of 15 archipelagos, which lie off the south coast of Iceland. Dating to 11,000 years ago, there is only one inhabited island - Heimaey Island. The largest of the islands, it’s incredibly picturesque, with brightly coloured houses, a breathtaking volcanic landscape and a large population of puffins that make Heimaey Island their home every summer. Vestmannaeyjabaer is the only town on the island, with just over 4000 permanent residents.
Things to do in Heimaey, Westmann Islands:
Eldheimar Museum
In 1973 the town was devastated by a volcanic eruption, and everyone on the island had to evacuate and leave their homes. The events of this historic eruption have been remembered within the Eldheimar Museum, which showcases buildings that were destroyed, facts about the eruption and other fascinating information.
Eldfell Mountain
Overlooking the town, Eldfell Mountain was created due to the aforementioned eruption. Now, you can hike to the top of this picturesque mountain and take in views out over 720 ft. With many trails to choose from, it’s the perfect opportunity to discover the beauty of the island and see the remains of several buildings that were destroyed by the lava.
Beluga Sanctuary
The Sea Life Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary is situated in Klettsvik Bay. You can visit the sanctuary by taking a boat trip from the main harbour. Home to two rescued beluga whales, you can learn about their past and what it takes to care for these incredible creatures.
Reykjavik
DAY 11
09 Jul 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Home to some of the most striking buildings you'll ever see, Reykjavik is a small city that packs a powerful punch. Take a dip in one of the many geothermal pools to truly relax, or enjoy a refreshing hike in the great outdoors. A visit to the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church is a must for architecture enthusiasts, though a simple walking tour around the city will see you discovering stunning designs and street art. Don't forget to leave room for the outstanding local cuisine, from fresh seafood to grilled meats.
Things to do in Reykjavik:
National Museum of Iceland
Step back in time in this fascinating museum located in the heart of the city. Built in 1863, it’s home to a variety of exhibitions showcasing the enthralling history of Iceland, from its maritime past to artefacts capturing the life of original settlers within the country.
Harpa
Situated in the centre of the city, Harpa is an extraordinary concert hall that features a distinct design with coloured glass surrounding its exterior. Host to a range of concerts, conferences, plays, opera performances and more, it’s a must-see when in the city.
Blue Lagoon
Arguably one of the most beloved attractions in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon. Located less than 45 minutes from the city, it has a geothermal spa that’s bright blue. Onsite there is also a cafe, a massage room, restaurants and more to enjoy throughout your time there.
