  • Depart

Route Information

Embark: Reykjavik, Iceland

Disembark: Reykjavik, Iceland

Destinations: The east coast of Greenland and the north and west coasts of Iceland, including the Westfjords, Siglufjörður, Húsavík and the Mývatn country, Grímsey on the Arctic Circle and the Westman Islands

Ships: National Geographic Endurance and National Geographic Explorer

Duration: 10 or 11 days. The 11-day version runs on the 2028 departures

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 Reykjavik, embark

Arrive in Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, and explore the harbour city at your own pace before boarding your ship and sailing out into the North Atlantic.

Day 2 Iceland's Westfjords

Explore the deep inlets and green cliffs of the Westfjords, with fjord hikes and waterfalls, and a call at Vigur Island, a tiny farmed island alive with puffins, eider ducks and guillemots.

Day 3 Siglufjordur

Call at Siglufjordur on the north coast, once the herring capital of the Atlantic. Visit the award-winning Herring Era Museum and walk the harbour of this handsome, mountain-ringed town.

Days 4 - 5 East Greenland

Cross the Denmark Strait to the east coast of Greenland, into a world of drifting icebergs and sheer mountains. Where ice and weather allow, cruise the fjords by Zodiac, land to hike the tundra, and watch for whales, seals and, with luck, a polar bear on the floes.

Day 6 Husavik and the Myvatn country

Back in Iceland, call at Husavik, gateway to some of the island's finest natural wonders. Choose your day ashore, whether the waterfalls of Godafoss and the volcanic landscapes of Lake Myvatn, the canyon of Asbyrgi and the thundering Dettifoss, or a gentler day of coastal forest and the GeoSea thermal baths.

Day 7 Grimsey and the Arctic Circle

Sail to Grimsey, the small island off the north coast through which the Arctic Circle runs, and mark your crossing of the line. The cliffs teem with Arctic terns, fulmars and puffins, and the island's few hardy residents make you welcome.

Day 8 Borgarfjordur Eystri

Reach the remote east coast at Borgarfjordur Eystri, a village beneath rhyolite peaks. Hike to a summit, ride the backcountry by bike, or simply watch the puffins at one of Iceland's most accessible colonies before exploring the village and its craft shops.

Day 9 Westman Islands

Cruise the volcanic Westman Islands off the south coast. On Heimaey, walk the lava flows that all but engulfed the town in 1973 and climb a crater rim, with views to Surtsey, the island born of an undersea eruption in the 1960s and now a protected natural laboratory.

Day 10 Reykjavik, disembark

Sail into Reykjavik, disembark after breakfast and transfer to the airport for your onward journey. Note: the 11-day voyage spends an additional night in East Greenland.
