Traversing the world by cruise ship is an exciting way to visit foreign shores, and you don’t want to miss a single opportunity to explore new locations. An ever-increasing number of cruise ships cross the North Atlantic Ocean to visit Iceland from May-September. These are magical months to come to Iceland since visitors get to experience the midnight sun, which lights the night sky.

If you are lucky enough to be on a cruise that stops in Iceland, you’re going to want to use the opportunity to explore this island in the north. We have selected some tours which are tailor-made for cruise ship passengers to enjoy during their time on dry land in Iceland.

Read this article to find out about the best value tours departing from Iceland’s biggest ports. These tours are tailor-made for cruise ship passengers so you needn’t worry about timing, the tour guides will have you back on deck in good time for your ongoing voyage.

Shore Excursions from Reykjavik                                         

Reykjavík is Iceland’s capital city, so it naturally has the biggest ports and most opportunities for exploration. Walking around the city is an adventure in itself but if you want to be closer to Iceland’s gorgeous nature we recommend these day tours which take you out of the city.

Golden Circle Tour                                                                             

This day tour will bring you around Iceland’s best-known sight-seeing route, The Golden Circle . It is perfect for those docking in one of Reykjavík’s harbours and want a taste of nature and history, all in one action-packed day.

You will visit Þingvellir , the National Park which has a diverse history. From being the site of Iceland’s parliament for centuries to being a shooting location for the Game of Thrones television series. Þingvellir has a fascinating past and copious amounts of natural beauty.

The original geyser, Geysir Hot Spring , is another star attraction on the Golden Circle. Geysir and surrounding hot springs, along with the third Golden Circle stop Gullfoss Waterfall , which is a show-stopping force of nature, are sure to make your stopover in Iceland really special.

After all that you will return in time to board your cruise ship and continue your journey.

South Coast Tour                                                                                 

If the Golden Circle doesn’t tickle your fancy, perhaps this South Coast tour will persuade you to go ashore for the day. Iceland’s South Coast is a smorgasbord of beautiful sights and this tour won’t leave anyone dissatisfied.

Among the amazing sights you’ll see are Skógafoss Waterfall and Seljalandsfoss Waterfall . The two sight-seeing favourites really show the diversity of waterfalls. Skógafoss is a powerful waterfall and the spray from it usually has a rainbow or two in it for visitors to admire. Seljalandsfoss falls in front of a cavern which makes it possible for visitors to walk around the waterfall for a real 360° experience.

Reynisfjara black sand beach is a hauntingly gorgeous location you will be stopping at. If the darkness of the black sand isn’t enough to impress, the sea stacks which sit along the shoreline are sure to have you reaching for your camera.

You will also pay a visit to Sólheimajökull Glacier and some of the charming towns on Iceland’s south coast, like Hveragerði and Vík . You’ll have to bring a packed lunch to enjoy at one of your stops.

Cruise Excursion | South Coast Small Group from Reykjavik Port

Shore Excursions from Akureyri                                         

Akureyri , the unofficial capital of north Iceland, is the second largest town in the country. The town has many options for sightseeing and is a lovely place for a day trip. If your cruise docks in Akureyri for the day these tours will keep you entertained on dry land.

Lake Myvatn Minibus Tour                                                                                   

If you are stopping in Akureyri and are hoping to see some of Iceland’s beautiful nature this is the tour for you. The area around Lake Mývatn offers a variety of incredibly stunning spots, making this tour great value for your money. Get ready to take photographs to make anyone who stayed aboard the ship regret that choice.

You’ll be whisked off in a small group on a minibus. First, you will bear witness to one of the most majestic sights in the country, Goðafoss waterfall, an impressive 12 metre (39 feet) tall waterfall which is the most powerful waterfall in all of Europe. Next, you will stop at Skútustaðagígar pseudo craters, a curious geological phenomenon which your guide will be able to tell you all about.

Another attraction you’ll be able to see on your minibus tour is Dimmuborgir , also known as the Black Fortress, it is an area with rather dramatic looking lava formations and a great place to stretch your legs if you stop there.

Other notable stops in the Mývatn area are Grjótagjá Cave, which fans of Game of Thrones might be able to recognize and the Námaskarð geothermal area, where you’ll see hot springs.

North Iceland Culture Tour                                              

If you are in the mood to immerse yourself in the culture of Iceland during your short stopover, this is the tour for you. This tour will take you around the north of Iceland and stop at places which give you plenty of insight into Icelandic culture in just one day. This tour is especially exciting for beer lovers, as its last stop is a brewery.

Before that, you will visit a village named Dalvík . You’ll have time to browse around the Hvoll museum, a lovely collection of objects pertaining to Icelandic heritage and natural history collected by local people. The next town you’ll visit is Siglufjörður , there you’ll find the Herring Era Museum, among other quaint things.

There is one more stop before you can reward yourself with a beer, and it’s a spooky one. You’ll stop at a deserted farm in Héðinsfjörður, the perfect place to tell your travel companions a ghost story. Then it’s finally time to visit the Kaldi Brewery in Árskógssandur, the perfect end to your culture tour.

Cruise Excursion | North Iceland Culture Tour Museums and the Microbrewery

Shore Excursion from Isafjordur                                          

Ísafjörður is the largest town in the west fjords, an area known for its stark beauty. If you plan to step ashore and explore, we recommend joining a tour to get the benefit of a guide’s expert knowledge.

Dynjandi Waterfall Tour                                                      

This tour is the perfect choice for cruise passengers in west Iceland. The expert local guide will take you and your fellow travellers around on a tour bus. The destination is a gorgeous waterfall but the journey there will bring you past equally impressive views so keep your eyes peeled out the window.

Dynjandi Waterfall is named after the loud rumble of the plummeting water, its name translates to ‘thundering’ and that’s what it sounds like. There is a possibility to hike up to the top and get a bird's eye view of this impressive aquatic feature.

On your way back to the cruise ship you will stop at Hrafnseyri, an old town which will give you an idea of what living in Iceland during the settlement era was like. After that, you will once again sail away.

Cruise Excursion | Dynjandi Waterfall & Westfjords from Isafjordur Port

Westfjords Super Jeep Tour                                                  

Another excellent choice for a stop in Ísafjörður is this Svalvogar Circle Tour . The Westfjords region has some of the most unique and beautiful sights in all of Iceland and your local guide will drive you to the best spots to see and photograph the natural beauty.

From the comfort of a Super Jeep you'll marvel at mountain ranges as you drive along the coastline, weaving in and out of fjords. Among the spectacular sights you'll see is Kaldbakur , the region's tallest mountain. This tour is not specially made for cruise ship passengers, so make sure to double-check that you have enought time to return on board.

Svalvogur Circle | Westfjords Sightseeing Tour 

Shore Excursion from Seydisfjordur                                       

Seyðisfjörður is a small town in East Iceland, surrounded by mountains and waterfalls, it is a lovely place to visit. East Iceland has a lot to offer so if you’re lucky enough to dock in Seyðisfjörður, you should use your time wisely and take a tour, like the one below.

East Iceland Tour                                                                                           

This tour will bring you around some of the most exciting locations in east Iceland. Lake Lagarfljót is best known for being the home of a mythical creature known as the Lagarfljót Wyrm , a giant serpent which has reportedly been sighted in the lake. You will be visiting Fellbær a tiny town which overlooks Lake Lagarfljót.

Your guide will also take you to an archaeological site at Skriðuklaustur , the Kárahnjúkar power station, where you’ll learn about Iceland’s renewable energy, Hallormstaðaskógur Woods and Gufufoss Waterfall.

After visiting all these different and exciting places you’ll return to your cruise ship with some great memories of your time in Iceland.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik is the gateway to a jagged land of fire and ice. With its widespread lava fields, massive glaciers, deep fjords, lush lowlands and high plains, Iceland is a haven for geology and nature lovers. The city is the region's cultural and financial center. The most popular tours visit the Golden Waterfall, the Strokkur Geyser, Thingvellir National Park, the Blue Lagoon and The Pearl, a domed building offering exceptional views of the city.

After exiting the airport, head north on Route 41, and follow Route 41 for 49km. Turn right toward Vatnagardar, then left onto Vatnagardar. Turn right onto Sundagardar, and at the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto Klettagardar. Turn right onto Skarfagardar, and you will reach the harbor.

Shore Excursion in Reykjavik

We regularly receive requests for shore excursions from cruise ship passengers who want to maximize their short docking time in Reykjavik. Cruise ship passengers may have different needs, but most have three general requirements that we consider when planning our excursions:

• You must be sure to return to the cruise ship on time
• You don’t want to take part in big bus tours
• You would like to be picked up and dropped off at the pier in the port

At the same time, many travelers have enough time before entering the port to plan something extraordinary.

If your stay in Reykjavik is less than one day

Many cruise ships dock at Reykjavik for less than one full day and passengers only have 7-8 hours to explore local attractions. For example, you arrive at 8:00 am and must be back on board by 4:00 pm. It is challenging for guests to stretch their legs on the shore and explore more than downtown Reykjavik. Many passengers choose a taxi to the city center to wander through the streets. Or they end up joining a bus tour planned by the cruise ship (not much fun, in our opinion). To meet the time constraints, get a taste of Iceland and return at least 1 hour before departure; we can offer you two excursions:

• Golden Circle. Express tour (6 hours)
• Excursion in Reykjavik and Sky Lagoon (6 hours)

Full day in Reykjavik

If you have the whole day at your disposal or there are no restrictions on the time of returning to the ship in the evening, then there are more opportunities to spend this day with maximum impact. You can choose the classic Golden Circle tour or spend more time in Reykjavik and visit some of the highlights of the Reykjanes Peninsula en route to the Blue Lagoon. Return to Reykjavik by 18:30.

• Golden Circle. Private Day Tour (8 hours)
• Reykjanes Peninsula & Blue Lagoon (8 hours)

For those who would like to explore more and further from Reykjavik, we can suggest a slightly more adventurous option, heading the South Coast east of Reykjavik or northwest on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. You will spend a full day on the trip and return to Reykjavik by 8:00 pm.

• South Coast. Private Day Tour (10 hours)
• Snaefellsnes Peninsula. West Iceland (10 hours)

A couple of days off before or after the cruise

Are you planning to spend a few days in Iceland before or after your cruise? Perfect! Be sure to get outside of Reykjavik. And here you have two options. You can take one or more day trips from Reykjavik or a multi-day tour package. You can also suggest your route, which we will develop according to your wishes. We take care of everything from hotel reservations to comfortable vehicles and a qualified guide.

For a two-day trip, we recommend routes:

• Golden Circle & South Coast. 2-Day Trip
• South Coast & Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. 2-Day Trip
• Golden Circle and Landmannalaugar (July-August)
• Snaefellsnes Peninsula and Silver Circle (West Iceland)

Plan your tour and offer it to other passengers to reduce the price

It’s worth noting that joining a small group tour is a great way to keep your costs down. We love it! Many travelers prefer this option as it lets them meet new people. Don’t worry about the “big bus” effect on our tours; the maximum group size is 12 people. And your passionate guide will treat you more like friends than clients. Therefore, be sure to ask a lot of questions.

So, you’ve created the perfect trip that fits your cruise ship’s schedule. And you have friends on the cruise who may also be interested in this tour. Why not invite them to join you instead of leaving them to pay for separate but similar private trips? If your group of 4 joins up with another group of 4, it can substantially reduce your expenses as you will use one vehicle and one guide during your trip. Most importantly, it will significantly reduce the cost per person.

How do you negotiate this with us? The plan is something like this

• Choose a customized tour for your group.
• Ask us about the “price per person” change if you find someone willing to join your group.
• Recommend the tour to your friends on the boat and save money. The more people join the trip, the cheaper the trip will cost you!

Cruise Iceland on the New Norwegian Prima

Written by theresa russell, cruises | iceland | travel.

What better way to see Iceland than by cruise ship? Here is what you need to know when you cruise Iceland on the Norwegian Prima .

What a thrill to embark on a new ship in Reykjavik . Iceland seemed like an old friend since I had been there just a month prior. I was excited to sail on Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, Prima . Come along as we cruise Iceland on the New Norwegian  Prima .

What's in This Article:

Boarding Norwegian Prima in Reykjavik

On this particular cruise, guests were welcome to spend the day before departure on Prima .

I took advantage of this offer as my stress levels dropped when I arrived a day early at a port. I flew into Iceland on schedule and headed to the port where Prima was docked. Although not in the center of the city, like the dock for smaller ships, this dock is on the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus route making it a good option for exploring Reykjavik. I tried adjusting to this new time zone on that first day. It was a perfect opportunity to get a closer look at Prima.

On my second day, I chose to explore an area of Iceland that I hadn’t yet visited. Easy to access from Reykjavik, the popular Golden Circle tour includes waterfalls, geysers, and tectonic plates.

The tour passed quickly, with stops that were too short to enjoy the attractions thoroughly. I recalled why I prefer touring on my own. Running to see something that I may never see again because other passengers didn’t abide by time constraints annoys me.

Getting to Know Prima

Having sailed on all but one Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) ship, I wondered how different Prima would be. It’s the first ship in the new Prima class. I anticipated many changes as I kept track of the construction, float-out, and other Prima milestones. But plans often change, and renditions don’t always do justice.

When I first set foot on Prima , I immediately noticed the openness of the three-story Penrose Atrium.

With its subtle décor and modern effect, Prima made a provocative first impression. What else would be different? Were the changes practical? Would I feel at home here?

I admit that I felt frustrated that I didn’t immediately know my way around this ship as I did around others in the fleet. It took a bit longer for my inner compass to reboot and send me in the right direction. After boarding the ship, I proceeded to my stateroom.

My Balcony Stateroom

My eyes widened as I entered my cabin. Wowed by what seemed like an excessively large space, I realized that much of that impression was created by the design concepts in this room. All of the balcony cabins have a bed near the exterior sliding doors. That gave a direct sightline to the outside. In addition, the high bed with no bed skirt allowed for a long unobstructed view to the far side of the room. A coffee table in front of the sofa was missing, allowing a continuous open view.

The naturally dyed carpets with a tinge of color contributed to the neutral tone. Behind the bed and sofa, large colorful artwork added a touch of elegance. Plenty of USB ports and electrical outlets made recharging batteries and electronics a simple matter. A small desk provided adequate space for laptops, chargers, and other essentials.

The Bathroom

Whether it was the vibrant backsplash or the neutral colors, the bathroom seemed to have more space than most. I often find that some ship bathrooms with exceptionally small doorways to get into equally small spaces can turn some passengers into contortion artists. This bathroom seemed wider, with more floor space area to move around. The glass-enclosed shower gave the illusion of openness and elegance.

Initially, I didn’t notice that the towel rack for hand towels also functioned as a drawer pull, I almost thought there should be more storage space for toiletries. The vanity seemed quite stylish with its striking backsplash.

A New Look for The Haven

The Haven appeals to those looking for a more upscale and inclusive experience on Prima . Spread out over several decks, this luxurious enclave is restricted to Haven guests. Those guests enjoy the use of a private elevator. This retreat includes bars, a private restaurant, a sundeck, a butler and concierge service, and plenty of cozy lounges.

Dining on the Norwegian Prima

Always an innovator, Norwegian Cruise Line created some new dining options on Prima . Old favorites like Cagney’s, Le Bistro, Surfside Café, two main dining rooms, and others remain on Prima. Norwegian’s first Mediterranean restaurant, Palomar, specializes in seafood. Meat lovers need not worry as there are several choices for them. Pricing is à la carte.

One of my favorite new dining venues on Prima is Indulge Food Hall. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 11 different spots offer a variety of options to choose from. Indian, Latin, Rotisserie, BBQ, and Tapas are just a few choices. Selections vary depending on which meal you choose. I frequented Tamara, the Indian option, because it was tasty and had the added advantage of providing entertainment by watching the chefs and the servers interact.

Some of the restaurant choices copy those on other ships. For example, the Seaside Rotisserie is much like Moderno, the meat fest on other ships. Q Texas Smokehouse offers some of the same foods that cost extra on other vessels. Except for Starbucks and Coco‘s (fancy desserts and ice cream), the restaurants are included in your cruise fare.

Entertainment on the Norwegian Prima

The headliner show on Prima , “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical,” certainly attracted my attention. More than 20 of her songs were performed, and the musical engagingly told her life story.

In addition to this show, others featured the music of Kool & The Gang and Chaka Khan. If you have plans to see any of the shows, be sure to make your reservations early. The same is true for the comedy club, Improv at Sea, and the new game shows on Prima.

Passengers can win prizes on shows like “The Price is Right LIVE on NCL.” It mimics the television show, as I remember it. Other shows that are coming soon are “Supermarket Sweep LIVE on NCL,” “Press Your Luck LIVE on NCL,” and “Beat the Clock LIVE on NCL.”

Even More Entertainment

Prima upgraded the Speedway found on its other ships by making the course longer while racing along three decks. The Galaxy Pavilion provides enough virtual reality experiences to keep the dedicated fan happy. For puzzle solvers, there are two Escape Rooms on the ship. If all of that is not enough, Bull’s Eye offers a suite of parlor rooms for playing darts and other games. Tee Time is the interactive golf game next to the darts action. All of the above come with a fee.

Try The Drop, which takes riders 10 stories down on a fast dry slide for free thrills. The Rush is a duo-racing dry slide if you are the competitive type. And if you prefer waterslides, The Wave, with its wave action, is the place to go.

Final Thoughts About Cruising on the Norwegian Prima

Honestly, I wasn’t sure I would like Prima, but in the end, I enjoyed most of the changes. Some spaces, like the comedy club, were small, so I never could get a seat. The music venue, Syd Norman’s Pour House, was standing-room only whenever I tried to enjoy that venue.

I loved the new outdoor deck now known as Ocean Boulevard. A connection to the sea ranks high on my cruising requirements. That expectation was exceeded. I appreciated the thought put into this new design.

My Thoughts on Prima

As much as I worried that I was a creature of habit, who felt so comfortable on other NCL ships, I realized that change could be a good thing. Prima belongs in the premium category of ships.
