Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Reykjavik (Overnight onboard): Modern capital with geothermal charm. Visit the Hallgrímskirkja, relax in the Blue Lagoon, or stroll the harbour for views of Mount Esja. The overnight stay allows time to enjoy its cafés and nighttime ambience.
- Grundarfjordur: Quiet fishing town beneath Kirkjufell mountain. Take a scenic walk along the bay, visit the local museum, or join a whale-watching tour. Its setting is pure Icelandic drama.
- Isafjordur: Small port ringed by steep fjords. Explore maritime history at the heritage museum, wander to nearby fishing villages, or take a boat trip to Vigur Island. The scenery does the talking.
- Akureyri: Northern gateway framed by snow-capped peaks. Visit the botanical gardens, see Godafoss waterfall, or browse shops near the harbour. It’s Iceland in miniature.
- Stornoway (Isle of Lewis): Outer Hebrides port with Gaelic roots. Visit Lews Castle, drive to the Callanish Stones, or sample local seafood in the harbour. Culture and wild coastline meet here.
- Greenock (Overnight onboard): Clyde-side access to Glasgow. Visit the Kelvingrove Museum, stroll along the riverside, or stay onboard for city views at dusk. The overnight stop allows time to explore.
- Cobh (tours to Cork): Colourful harbour town rich in emigration history. Visit the Heritage Centre, ride the train into Cork, or travel to Blarney Castle. Friendly streets and maritime tales fill the day.
