Discover Iceland 9 days
Aboard: SH VegaVenture further than most Iceland visitors on this epic voyage to the Land of Fire and Ice. Aboard our boutique, ice-class ship we’ll explore Iceland’s furthest corners in style and comfort. The Snæfellsnes Peninsula National Park is every Icelandic geological feature you’ve ever thought of in one place. Dramatic cliffs, deep silent fjords and volcanic peaks fill this slice of land known as ‘Little Iceland’. In the north, we’ll cross the Arctic Circle via Grímsey Island, home to Iceland’s largest puffin colony. From Höfn we’ll explore Vatnajökull National Park’s thundering waterfalls and floating icebergs. On a visit to Heimay we’ll learn about its dark past and recent volcanic eruption. We’ll conclude our cruise in cosmopolitan Reykjavik with a real feel for what’s under the skin of this remarkable place.
