Norway & Iceland
Norway & Iceland have a voice all its own. It shouts in glaciers and geysers, groans in lava fields and fjords and sings in the deep baritone of grinding geological stresses and the ringing soprano of hissing steam vents. On an Iceland cruise, you’ll chase waterfalls, bathe in hot springs and walk through towns that have probably seen their share of viking longboats. In other words, when Iceland calls, you’ll want to answer.

Featured Norway & Iceland cruise ports
Norway & Iceland doesn’t do boring. Every port is a mood — sometimes that mood is ‘volcanic chaos,’ sometimes it’s ‘peaceful fishing village with 80,000 puffins.’ Either way, these stops bring the adventure (and the scenery) in a big way.
- Reykjavik
- Akureyri
- Isafjordur
- Grundarfjordur
- Seydisfjordur
- Haugesund
- Skjolden
- Alesund
You dock in the northernmost capital in the world, where modern architecture rubs shoulders with Viking sagas and geothermal power. From this departure point you can zip off to the Blue Lagoon, wander through lava‑fields or stand in the Mid‑Atlantic Ridge at Thingvellir National Park. The salty harbor air mingles with the scent of hot springs as you explore the town, a reminder you’re on the edge of big things. The cruise terminals at Skarfabakki, Miðbakki and Kornagarður give solid access to the city and beyond.
Just south of the Arctic Circle sits Akureyri — small town feel with big scenery. Mountains and fjords frame the harbour of the ‘Capital of North Iceland,’ and you’re within walking distance to town from the jetty at Oddeyrarbryggja. Visit Goðafoss Waterfall to see powerful glacial waters rushing into a canyon and hit the Botanical Garden where flowers from around the world thrive despite the climate.

In the West Fjords region you’ll find Isafjordur — rugged, remote and wild. The town sits tucked in the narrow Skutulsfjörður fjord and some excursions may involve tendering. Expect dramatic scenery, steep mountains and fewer crowds.
Journey into the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and arrive in Grundarfjordur, one of Iceland’s oldest settlement areas. The landscape is raw and dramatic — volcanoes, lava fields, glacial remnants — and the legends of the sagas still linger in the air.
East Iceland’s gem: Seydisfjordur sits at the head of a narrow fjord flanked by towering mountains. Wooden architecture from the 19th century, cultural life and wild nature converge here. From the harbour you’re stepping from ship into scenery that looks like it's straight out of a storybook.
Calling all Viking lovers! If you’re a history buff, nature lover or seafood aficionado, you won’t want to miss Haugesund — the birthplace of Norway and ancient Viking village. Explore the reconstructed Viking village or see the very spot where a Viking king unified Norway before dining on delicious seafood.
Tucked deep inside Sognefjord, the village of Skjolden feels like it was dropped straight into the middle of a Norwegian fairy tale. Mountains tower above, waterfalls crash down cliffsides and stave churches silent and strong (as if they’ve gotten used to posing for centuries’ worth of visitors). The village may be small, but the experiences here stretch in every direction — including access to Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European mainland.
Built across a chain of islands stretching into the sea, Ålesund is all contrast: delicate turrets and swirling Art Nouveau flourishes, surrounded by the raw drama of the Sunnmøre Alps. Reimagined after a devastating 1904 fire, this pedestrian-friendly port now wears its Jugendstil architecture like a crown, with colorful towers and ornamental facades at nearly every turn. Beyond the beauty, you’ll find fishing boats hauling in the day’s catch, trails leading into fjord country and seabirds circling nearby Runde Island. This isn’t just one of Norway’s prettiest cities; it’s a front-row seat to nature and design operating in perfect sync.

Viking Culture & Old Norse Heritage - reflective of the enduring legacy of a seafaring people who explored, traded, raided, and settled across Europe and beyond.
