Akureyri Cruise Reviews

Fun port with lots of ships in the day we were there. We took a whale watching cruise and saw a LOT of minke whales. It was fun - we even saw them from our stateroom. The town itself was nice, too. ...

We did Jewels of the North which was amazing! We saw lovely valleys full of sheep and goats, and Icelandic horses. We saw volcanic craters, and wild looking lava formations at Dimmuborgir, steam vents and sulfur cauldrons at Namaskard, and Niagara-like Godafoss waterfall. A fish lunch was included - not much to talk about but a great bathroom stop. ...

Here, I discovered a public bus to Godafoss that cost $12 round trip, as opposed to paying $50+ for other tours. The little downtown touristy area was quite nice. ...
