Iceland as focus or part of a wider Arctic

Get the full 360º Viking view of this fascinating island nation aboard our small-scale expedition ships equipped with cool tools for up-close exploring. Experience Iceland’s wilder, untrammeled side on our 11-day Circumnavigation. Take our 6-day Wild Iceland Escape and hit all the highlights in just an active week away. Or range more widely into the northlands, seeing Iceland in the context of its Arctic and sub-Arctic neighbors—Greenland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, and Scotland—and add sightings of polar bears, walrus, whales, and more to Iceland’s array of puffins and sea birds. Music plays a key role in our Iceland expeditions, too. See details below.

Top Highlights

  • Explore Iceland's pristine fjords, fascinating tundra, and dramatic waterfalls, accompanied by a dedicated team of naturalists
  • Encounter evidence of volcanic activity as we soak in geothermal hot springs, hike over cooled lava fields, and view Iceland's newest isle, Surtsey
  • Discover the rich biodiversity of the remote Westfjords and watch for humpback and minke whales in the surrounding waters
  • Choose your own adventure on one of three optional trip extensions, from a hiking excursion across Iceland's untamed highlands to an exploration of the Snaefellsnes peninsula's epic natural wonders
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.
