YOUR ITINERARY
Board L’Austral in Iceland’s colourful capital. Before you set sail this evening, take in the city’s charm, from the panoramic views at Perlan to the striking Hallgrimskirkja church, or unwind at the famous Blue Lagoon nearby.
...Sail through the Westman Islands, born from underwater volcanic eruptions. Visit Heimaey, the only inhabited island in the archipelago, where dramatic cliffs meet green prairies, and diving gannets put on a show overhead.
...Arrive at this secret boreal hideaway on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, sheltered behind the cone-shaped Kirkjufell rock. Wander crystal clear waters and emerald lawns in one of Iceland’s most photogenic towns.
...Cross into the Arctic Circle at Grimsey, Iceland’s northernmost island. Explore moss-carpeted hillsides and towering basalt cliffs, home to thriving colonies of seabirds.
...Discover Akureyri, tucked into the Eyjafjordur fjord near the Arctic Circle. Wander cobbled streets lined with colourful houses, climb the stairway to Akureyrarkirkja church, and visit the botanical garden thriving in this unique microclimate.
...Sail into the heart of Iceland’s North-West fjords, a wild land of steep cliffs and isolated valleys. Visit Isafjordur, a historic fishing town nestled between imposing mountains.
...L’Austral returns to Reykjavik on the final evening of the voyage, seven nights after departure. The city looks different on return, the familiarity of the Hallgrimskirkja tower above the colourful rooftops now a welcome marker rather than a new discovery. A final evening ashore in the Laugavegur street’s restaurants and bars, the northern summer light lasting until almost midnight, is the right close to a week along Iceland’s western coast.
...L’Austral disembarks in Reykjavik this morning. Seven nights have covered the Westman Islands’ volcanic drama, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula’s Kirkjufell cone, the Arctic Circle crossing at Grimsey, the Eyjafjordur fjord at Akureyri and the remote Westfjords at Isafjordur. Ask your Cruiseabout specialist about extending your Reykjavik stay before flying home — Iceland rewards the extra days.
