    • Day 3 - Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Western Iceland

      Often called “Iceland in Miniature,” the Snæfellsnes Peninsula captures all the island’s magic in one place — dramatic cliffs, black-sand beaches, lava fields, glaciers, and volcanic craters. We’ll pass waterfalls and the famous Kirkjufell Mountain, known to Gameof Thrones fans as the “Arrowhead Mountain,” with every view revealing a touch of Iceland’s mystical soul.

    • Day 4 - Dynjandi Waterfall —Suðureyri—Western Iceland

      We explore Iceland’s remote Westfjords, the island’s oldest and most untouched region. A Zodiac landing brings us to Dynjandi—the “Thunderous” waterfall —a 100-meter cascade spilling over basalt steps like a giant wedding cake. Later, we visit Suðureyri, a charming fishing village where we can enjoy authentic local flavors.

    • Day 5 - Siglufjörður and Grímsey Island — Northern Iceland

      Known as the “Herring Capital of the World” in its heyday, Siglufjörðuris rich in maritime history and local character. We’ll visit the award-winning Herring Era Museum, taste fresh herring with Brennivín, and stop by Frida’s famous chocolate shop and the local brewery.

      This afternoon, we take Zodiacs north to GrímseyIsland, which lies directly across the Arctic Circle. Here, steep cliffs teem with thousands of seabirds, emerald meadows stretch across the island, and a small 19th-century driftwood church stands as a unique Arctic landmark.

    • Day 6 - Akureyri — Lake Mývatn, Northern Iceland

      Surrounded by snowcapped peaks and the deep blue Eyjafjörður, Akureyriis the vibrant heart of the north. From here we head to the volcanic landscapes of Lake Mývatn—steaming vents, lava fields, and surreal scenery.

      We visit Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods,” and continue to Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, an unforgettable force of nature.

    • Day 7 - Seyðisfjörður, Eastern Iceland

      Sailing along Iceland’s rugged eastern coast, we arrive in Seyðisfjörður—a hidden gem nestled among waterfalls and misty mountains. Its colorful wooden houses, built by XIX-century Norwegian traders, line the peaceful harbor, their reflections shimmering in the still fjord waters.

      Later, we visit Lake Urriðavatnto soak in a geothermal pool with sweeping views of the lake and surrounding peaks. As warm thermal waters meet the crisp mountain air, you’ll feel a close connection with Iceland’s raw and untouched beauty.

    • Day 8 - Djúpivogur, Eastern Iceland

      We anchor near the peaceful fishing village of Djúpivogur, surrounded by rugged cliffs and calm fjords. A guided walk takes us along black-sand beaches and quiet lagoons, where puffins, Arctic terns, and other seabirds can be spotted.We explore small islands linked by natural sandbars, visit a traditional birdwatching hut, and enjoy the gentle rhythm of village life —a perfect way to experience Iceland’s serene coastal beauty.

    • Day 9 - Vestmannaeyjar Archipelago, Southern Iceland

      The volcanic Westman Islands are among Earth’s youngest landscapes, shaped by recent eruptions, dramatic cliffs, and thriving seabird colonies. On Heimaey, we see the impact of the 1973 Eldfelleruption, which buried part of the town in ash, and explore the EldheimarMuseum, where interactive exhibits bring this event to life.

    • Day 10 - Reykjavík —Disembarkation

    SEA SPIRIT

    Like some of the birds we see in the Arctic and Antarctica, our m/v Sea Spirit is migratory and follows the sun, northbound in the summer and southbound in the winter, always ready for spontaneous discoveries – a pod of whales, a family of polar bears or a glaciated mountain vista. She is highly maneuverable and capable of navigating the narrow fjords of East Greenland and entering the small bays of Spitsbergen. Onboard, we create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. They are united by one goal – to have a memorable wilderness experience and to become real polar adventurers. We believe that first-hand travel to such places makes one an ambassador for conservation, and helps strengthen our resolve to protect these natural environments for future generations. Providing spacious suite accommodation of 114 passengers the Sea Spirit at the same time features maneuverability and friendly atmosphere of small ships. The vessel has an ice-strengthened hull, a fleet of Zodiacs, and a set of retractable fin stabilizers for smoother sailing.
