Hamburg, Germany

Your adventure to Iceland begins. Your expedition cruise sets sail from Hamburg-a city full of history, art, and culture. There's plenty to see and do here, so take some time to explore before boarding your expedition ship. You'll discover many of the city's attractions in the old town, or Altstadt, including St. Nikolai Memorial and the historic street of Deichstrasse. Be sure to check out the interesting history of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Chilehaus and the world's largest warehouse complex. Once aboard, you'll collect your complimentary expedition jacket, meet your Expedition Team, explore the onboard comforts of your ship, and settle into your cabin as we set sail. ...

Enjoy a leisurely sea day aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen. As your expedition cruise travels from Hamburg toward Norway's Lysefjord, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the places you'll visit with your expert Expedition Team. Join them for lectures in the Science Center and learn all about the journey ahead. A day at sea gives you plenty of time to relax, and your modern expedition ship allows you to do it in style.

Cruising Lysefjord / Pulpit Rock, Norway

Cruising Lysefjord / Pulpit Rock, Norway

Today, we'll sail down Lysefjord, which is 25 miles long. Enjoy a day of remarkable landscapes from the observation decks, taking in the sublime scenery of the long and narrow fjord among striking vertical cliffs. From the fjord we can take a peek from below at the world-famous Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) and look out for the equally renowned Kjeragbolten, a giant boulder that seems precariously wedged into a mountain crevasse. If you're feeling adventurous, join the Expedition Team for small expedition boat cruising or kayaking and see the immense fjord from a new perspective. ...

Lerwick, United Kingdom

Discover the deep Norse roots of Scotland's Shetland Islands. We cruise northwest to the Shetland Islands. Lerwick, the capital, is a friendly, Victorian-influenced fishing town set in beautiful scenery. Navigate the narrow lanes on foot to discover little shops selling local whiskies, woolen sweaters, and fudge. By the old waterfront, you'll find the Shetland Museum, showcasing Pictish carvings and Shetland lace shawls. Nearby you can see Fort Charlotte and the regal-looking town hall. Keep your binoculars handy to scan for grey and common seals along Lerwick's beaches, as well as local birdlife such as red-throated divers, redshanks, and curlews. ...

Torshavn, Faroe Islands

A visit to Streymoy in the Faroe Islands. Torshavn is located on Streymoy, the largest of the Faroe Islands. Founded by Norsemen in the 10th century, Torshavn (Thor's Harbor) is one of Northern Europe's oldest capitals. Wander through the cobblestone alleyways and delight in the colorful, turf-roofed houses found here. In the local museums, you can learn about the city's origins and the flora, fauna, and geology of the Faroe Islands. About half a mile outside of town, the Svartafoss waterfall tumbles over mossy rocks. And as you walk along the seafront, look out for eider ducks and the distinctive Faroese starling with its beige-tipped wings. ...

Seydisfjordur, Iceland

Waterfalls and wildlife in special Seydisfjordur. At the end of a deep fjord with picturesque mountains and waterfalls lies the quirky village of Seydisfjordur. Colorful wooden houses line the streets, while the aptly-named Rainbow Road offers a vibrant photo opportunity. Walk to an unusual sound sculpture, Tvisongur, or take a longer hike in the hills above the town. You can also visit Skalanes, a private nature reserve that is home to reindeer, Arctic fox, and mink. Scan the skies here for black-tailed godwits, golden plovers, and gyrfalcons, Europe's largest falcon. ...

Grimsey Island, Iceland

Cross the Arctic Circle and see Atlantic puffins. If you've always wanted to visit the Atlantic puffin colonies of Grimsey, here's your chance. A remote, windswept and breathtakingly beautiful island, it's home to a wealth of wildlife and is steeped in myth and legend. Grimsey is probably best known for its proximity to the Arctic Circle, which cuts across the island-the only part of Iceland where it does so. You'll have the opportunity to step across that line, hopping over to the Arctic and back! By 2050, Grimsey will lie outside the Arctic as the Arctic Circle creeps northwards at a rate of about 48 feet a year. ...

Akureyri, Iceland

See dramatic moonscapes and waterfalls. Gaze at snow-capped peaks as we sail Eyjafjordur, Iceland's longest fjord. It's one of the best places in Europe to spot humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises. Look out for orcas, and blue and fin whales as well. "The Capital of North Iceland", Akureyri, sits at the base of the fjord. Enjoy the peaceful oasis of the botanical gardens in addition to a selection of top-notch eateries and museums. Farther afield you can visit iconic Godafoss waterfall, where turquoise waters pound against black rocks. You can also seek out eider and harlequin ducks at Lake Myvatn, one of Iceland's more active volcanic areas. ...

Day
9

Northwestern Region, Iceland

Exploring northwest Iceland, expedition-style. One of the best things about expedition cruising is the feeling of freedom. We plan to spend the day in Iceland's Northwestern Region, but as conditions can vary, there's no preset plan. Rest assured, because your captain and Expedition Team will find the best opportunities for adventure on the day. We may go cruising in our small expedition boats or take you ashore for a hike, swim, or beach clean-up. Or perhaps we'll launch our kayaks. If we spot a pod of whales as we sail, we may stop to enjoy the sight. Be ready for anything! Don't forget: you can also join onboard lectures, visit the Science Center, get tips from a professional photographer, or enjoy the sauna. ...

Patreksfjordur, Iceland, Iceland

A stunning beach, waterfalls, and superb birdwatching. Patreksfjordur is unforgettably beautiful. You'll learn all about the fishing traditions here in Europe's most westerly village. Explore the surrounding area on a hike through the fjords, or visit Raudasandur beach and see seals. You can also join a tour to Dynjandi waterfalls-six falls combined that together make the largest and most spectacular in the Westfjords. Birdwatchers shouldn't miss a visit to Latrabjarg, where puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, and razorbills cling to Europe's largest bird cliff. ...

Stykkisholmur, Iceland

Gateway to spectacular Snaefellsnes. It's as though time has stood still at Stykkisholmur, the small fishing town in Breidafjordur bay, where colorful houses stand out in contrast to distant mountains. Nearby, you'll find Snaefellsnes Peninsula National Park, with the striking, ice-capped Snaefellsjokull volcano at the peninsula's western tip. It's nicknamed "Little Iceland" for its array of volcanic landscapes. At the national park you can visit Djupalonssandur's black sand beach and the Londrangar basalt cliffs. You can also ride a snowcat to the top of the Snaefellsjokull glacier, or take a guided coastal hike with a glacial cave tour. ...

Heimaey, Iceland

Discover the town that defied a volcano. Heimaey is the only inhabited island in the Westman Islands, which are found off the south coast of Iceland. It has a fascinating history and still bears the scars of the powerful volcanic eruption that nearly destroyed the island. Visit Eldheimar, a museum that features an excavated home frozen in time, and learn more about the eruption and its aftermath. You could also take a hike to see puffins at Storhofdi, where around eight million of them nest every summer. Don't pass up the chance to climb Mount Eldfell to the volcano's summit, where you'll have incredible views of the town below. ...

Reykjavik, Iceland

Enjoy Reykjavik at your leisure. As your Iceland expedition cruise reaches its conclusion, you still have one last terrific destination to explore: Iceland's art-, culture-, and history-packed capital, Reykjavik. Stroll along Laugavegur with its boutiques and galleries, admire the striking Hallgrimskirkja church, and peruse Reykjavik Art Museum. Consider visiting the Blue Lagoon-one the true natural wonders of the world-and experience the blend of silica, algae, and minerals in its famous geothermal waters. You can also join a Post-Program and explore Iceland's beautiful south coast, with waterfalls, black-sand beaches, geothermal pools, and majestic mountains. ...
