Welcome to Reykjavík, the northernmost capital city in the world and the starting point of your Icelandic adventure, rich in character and creativity.
This afternoon, board your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, where the Captain and crew will greet you with a glass of Champagne. Settle into your spacious suite and begin familiarizing yourself with the world-class facilities on board. Join fellow guests in the Scenic Lounge to toast the beginning of an extraordinary voyage.
Please ensure your flight arrives in Reykjavík by 2:00 PM.
Welcome to Flatey, a private island off Iceland’s northwest coast, where time appears to stand still. The island’s century-old wooden houses are remarkably well-preserved, creating the impression of a living museum. Today, only a few farmers reside on this peaceful outcrop, surrounded by untouched beaches and a quiet village atmosphere.
This evening, sail past the towering Látrabjarg cliffs—the westernmost point of Iceland and among Europe’s largest bird cliffs. These dramatic sea-facing bluffs are home to millions of seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, guillemots, fulmars, and kittiwakes, nesting along the sheer rock face.
Known as the fjord of adventures, Patreksfjörður is the largest town along the southern part of the Wesrfjords region. See millions of seabirds nesting on the dramatic Látrabjarg bird cliffs. Walk along its spectacular beaches, where the sand ranges from powder white to rich gold.
Weather permitting, this afternoon, visit the jewel of the Westfjords, Dynjandi Waterfall. Feel the cold mist on your face as you admire the cascading bridal veil falls and discover why it was nicknamed ‘the thunder’. Tumbling down seven tiers over 100 meters, it is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland.
Welcome to Vigur Island, a tranquil oasis where time seems to stand still. This private island is a wildlife sanctuary and protects an enormous colony of birds, including puffins, Arctic terns, eider ducks, black guillemots and razorbills, many of which you can appreciate from a distance on a guided tour.
Explore this remote sanctuary, dotted with charming houses and lush landscapes, and take in panoramic views of the surrounding fjords. The island is home to the smallest post office in Europe and you can sample a traditional hjónabandssæla cake at the small cafe.
The friendly town of Sauðárkrókur is located in a fertile valley along the south-western shore of Skagafjörður Fjord. Although Sauðárkrókur was officially settled in 1871, it is linked to history dating back to the ancient Grettir’s Saga of the 13th century. It’s the largest town in northwest Iceland, though is home to just over 2,500 people. The charming downtown will welcome you as you stroll through the small collection of distinctive, traditional buildings where the past seems to be brought back to life.
A true culinary journey awaits every day on board with up to 10 extraordinary all-inclusive dining experiences and nine bars and lounges. As dusk falls, choose between steak and seafood at Elements, channel the spirit of Asia at Koko’s or journey to France at Lumière.
Akureyri is the country’s second largest settlement after Reykjavik, but with only around 20,000 residents it still feels like a friendly small town. Though it sits just 60 km below the Arctic Circle, the climate is pleasantly mild and picturesque, with colorful homes set on green hills at the base of a volcanic mountain chain.
See the striking Akureyri Church and stroll through one of the world’s most northerly botanic gardens, home to endemic Icelandic flora and hardy foreign species. Keep an eye out for the elves and hidden people that are said to dwell in the town.
Grímsey is a small island north of the Icelandic mainland, home to only 100 people and one million seabirds. Nesting on the high cliffs that surround the whole island, the chatter of seabirds here is constant, especially during the 24 hours of sunshine in summer. This grassy outcrop straddles the Arctic Circle, making it one of the few places on earth where you can cross the Arctic Circle on foot – truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Your Discovery Yacht will set sail just after lunchtime to across the Arctic Circle on your way to Vopnafjörður.
Vopnafjörður is a hidden gem along Iceland's stunning eastern coast. It’s long been a busy trading port and is still a flourishing village, home to around 600 people. Many people with Icelandic heritage can trace their history here as it was the largest emigration point for North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The highlight here is the sprawling, pristine fjordlands that wind along the coast. Embark on outdoor experiences like hiking and birdwatching in the surrounding mountains, offering a true taste of Icelandic wilderness.
In a country with an abundance of natural drama, Seyðisfjörður may steal the show. Set at the mouth of a beautiful fjord, this is East Iceland’s heart of culture, heritage and hospitality – and then there’s the architecture. The center of town is known for 19th-century timber houses perched on the side of the lagoon, built by fisherfolk when the region was booming.
There’s plenty of culture to go with the small-town country charm, complemented by plentiful wildlife, including reindeer and porpoises drawn by the verdant setting of cascading waterfalls and snow-capped mountains.
The earth is always rumbling beneath Iceland. Today, you can see a perfect example of nature’s ability to both create and destroy. When the volcano Eldfell, meaning ‘Hill of Fire’, erupted here in 1973, parts of the island were covered in lava and ash, sealing them in a virtual time capsule. Walking through the town, you can be able to see signs of the eruption and fallout.
Keep your eyes open for your black and white friends, with more Atlantic puffins nesting here than anywhere else in the world.
This is your final day on board your Discovery Yacht, so take the time to return to your favorite spots. That might mean one last treatment in the luxurious Senses Spa or stretching out in a class at the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio.
Spa treatments at additional cost.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues.
