Experience the Wilder Side of Iceland
Many travelers to Iceland only see Reykjavik and its outer environs, but the true heart of the country can be found in its remote landscapes, vast interior, and hard-to-reach coastal gems. Exploring on a small-ship expedition opens up incredible possibilities and provides a unique perspective of this subarctic island. Arrive by Zodiac at the base of world-class waterfalls, sail into dramatic fjords, and come ashore in secluded seaside towns to discover the daily rhythms of bucolic life. When you travel by ship, you can also sail beyond the beauty of Iceland, taking in more of the wildlife, landscapes, and culture that await in neighboring Arctic nations.
Explore the island nation of Iceland, where Earth’s geological drama unfolds around every corner as you hike to stunning waterfalls and encounter breathtaking natural landscapes, forged by lava flows over tens of thousands of years.

Expedition Highlights
Known as the ‘land of fire and ice,’ Iceland is a place of geological extremes and rich culture which we’ve been exploring for over 50 years. Go beyond the Blue Lagoon to hike past massive glaciers in Ísafjördur, witness lively puffin colonies on the cliffs of Grimsey, marvel at the volcanic crater in Heimaey where the earth is still hot from lava flows in 1973, or let the Viking spirit guide you along rugged shorelines where turf-footed cottages and fascinating archaeological sites bring the legends of ancient seafarers to life. Many of our Arctic itineraries pair Iceland with an array of other destinations—from the remote Faroe Islands to neighboring Arctic nations like Greenland and Norway’s Svalbard archipelago—allowing you to explore the greatest depths of the far north in one expedition.

Our Ships in Iceland
Life On Board
It is a privilege to visit Iceland, one of the planet’s most interesting places, and to this privilege, each of our Iceland-bound ships adds the luxury of comfort. Featuring a uniquely rewarding quality of life aboard and deluxe amenities, each ship enhances the exhilaration of discovery provided by our authentic expedition style of exploration.
We had the killer whales—the orcas—with [the gannets]. So they were both after the same food. They've arrived at the same restaurant, they're just at slightly different tables.
