What a wonderful cruise, helped very much by the fantastic weather.

Reykyavik – we had booked the Golden Circle with Iceland Guided Tours and had a lovely day. Visited Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir and the techtonic plates between Europe and America. It was only 4 degrees but was dry and we were able to see everything. Our driver took us on a tour of Reykyavik on the way back to the ship and we were able to go into the church there, absolutely beatiful

Isafjordur – brighter day. We hadn’t booked anything and just walked around the small town. Found a fishing museum which had a good film showing what hard lives the fishermen had in the early days. That evening there was a ‘crossing the Arctic Circle party’ on deck. We were warned to wrap up and it was freezing cold. An iceburg was nearby and the captain tried to get as near as possible but unfortunately a mist came down and we could not see it, however we did see the smaller pieces of ice that had become detached. The light was very bright and the sky looked wonderful even though it was after midnight. Read more
