    Discover Iceland's modern capital. Your Iceland expedition cruise starts in Reykjavik, a city full of art, culture, and history. Visit Laugavegur, the main shopping street, then head toward the striking Hallgrimskirkja Church. You could also explore the galleries and museums dotted around the city. Once aboard MS Maud, a smaller ship built for more personal exploration, it's time to settle in, meet your Expedition Team, and enjoy a laid-back welcome dinner.

    • Stykkisholmur, Iceland
    Gateway to spectacular Snaefellsnes. Time has stood still at Stykkisholmur, the small fishing town in Breidafjordur bay. Here, the colorful houses stand in contrast to the distant mountains. Nearby, you'll find Snaefellsnes Peninsula National Park, with the ice-capped Snaefellsjokull volcano at the peninsula's western tip. It's nicknamed 'Little Iceland', for its wide variety of volcanic landscapes. At the national park, visit Djupalonssandur's black-sand beach and the Londrangar basalt cliffs. Ride a snowcat to the top of the Snaefellsjokull glacier, or take a guided coastal hike with a glacial cave tour. ...

    • Patreksfjordur, Iceland, Iceland
    Visit a stunning beach, admire waterfalls, and go birdwatching. Patreksfjordur is unforgettably beautiful. Learn about the fishing traditions in Europe's westernmost village. You can even enjoy a dip in the town's outdoor pool, which features wonderful fjord views. Explore the surrounding area on a hike through the fjords or visit Raudasandur beach and see seals. You can also join a tour of Dynjandi waterfalls, six combined falls that, together, comprise the largest and most spectacular in the Westfjords. Birdwatchers shouldn't miss a visit to Latrabjarg, where puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, and razorbills cling to Europe's largest bird cliff. ...

    • Westfjords, Iceland
    Explore northwest Iceland expedition-style. One of the best things about expedition cruising is the feeling of freedom. We plan to spend the day in Iceland's northwestern region, but as conditions can vary, we won't know exactly what's in store until the day itself. Rest assured, your captain and expedition team will find the best opportunities for adventure. Go ashore in the small boats (RIBs) for a hike, swim, or beach clean-up. Or perhaps we'll launch our kayaks to explore a pretty cove. Be ready for anything! Don't forget you can also join onboard lectures, visit the Science Center, get tips from the professional photographer, or soak in a hot tub! ...

    Djupavik, Iceland
    • Djupavik, Iceland
    Explore a ghostly factory and hike in magical surroundings. There is an eerie charm about the remote village of Djupavik at the edge of the Westfjords. The immense, abandoned herring factory contrasts with the stunning countryside. A guided tour of the old building will reveal all of its secrets. Inside its cavernous interior, huge machines rust away quietly, and the workers' everyday objects sit forgotten on their desks. Explore these magical surroundings on foot and take a short and invigorating hike to the waterfall just above the old factory. Looking down to the shore, you may spot the old, rusting ship from a previous era. This truly is a place of contrasts. ...

It's a prime area to see humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises. Stroll the interesting streets of Akureyri, which feature charming, colorful houses. Learn about the city's history at the Akureyri Museum and visit Nordurslod (Into the Arctic), a museum dedicated to Iceland's settlement, culture, and daily life.

    Grimsey Island, Iceland
    • Grimsey Island, Iceland
    Cross the Arctic Circle and see Atlantic puffins. Grimsey is steeped in folklore, including tales of the island's first settler, Grimur. This remote and windswept island is home to just 60 people and is renowned for its Atlantic puffin colonies. Grimsey is probably best known for its proximity to the Arctic Circle, which actually cuts across the island - the only place in Iceland where it does so. You'll have the opportunity to step across that line, hopping over to the Arctic and back. Hike to the Orbis et Globus sculpture, a huge concrete sphere that is repositioned each year to follow the northward movement of the Arctic Circle. In fact, by 2050, Grimsey will lie outside the Arctic! ...
