Cruises to Akureyri in 2026 & 2027

Akureyri is a town in northern Iceland, set at the end of Eyjafjörður and surrounded by mountains. It is often called the capital of north Iceland, though it remains small enough for a manageable port day. Cruise visitors can walk through the town, visit Akureyri Church, explore the botanical garden or take excursions to Goðafoss waterfall, Lake Mývatn and geothermal areas. The port is valued for its access to Iceland’s northern scenery, with dramatic landforms, lava fields and wide-open views. Akureyri is well-suited to passengers who want nature and a quieter Icelandic stop.
