SHORE EXCURSIONS
Shore Excursions from Iceland's Cruise Ports
Geothermal lagoons, glaciers and volcano landscapes — all timed so you get back to your ship safely.
Akureyri
North Iceland
Iceland's northern capital, set at the head of the country's longest fjord. Akureyri's cruise pier is a 5-minute walk from the town centre and serves as the gateway to Mývatn, Goðafoss, and the whale-rich waters of Eyjafjörður.
Grundarfjörður
Snæfellsnes Peninsula
A tiny working harbour on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, sitting in the shadow of Iceland's most-photographed mountain — Kirkjufell. Cruise visitors step off into a landscape of glaciers, black-sand beaches, and the Snæfellsjökull volcano.
Reykjavík
Reykjavik
Iceland's capital and primary cruise gateway, with both the Old Harbour cruise terminal and the deeper Skúrfa-Bryggja terminal at Sundahöfn handling everything from expedition ships to the largest mass-market liners. Walk straight into the city centre or board your shore excursion at the cruise pier.
Seyðisfjörður
East Iceland
A picture-postcard fjord village in East Iceland, framed by waterfalls and the iconic blue church (Bláa kirkjan). The cruise pier opens directly onto the village; East Iceland's reindeer country, Hengifoss, and stave church sit a short drive away.
Ísafjörður
Westfjords
The cultural heart of the remote Westfjords, dramatically tucked under towering basalt mountains. Ísafjörður is a quieter, more atmospheric port — perfect for puffin colonies, fishing-village heritage, and Iceland's most rugged scenery.
