Iceland Cruises

Cruise into Iceland's colourful capital, Reykjavík, which stands on a promontory jutting into the crystal-clear waters of Faxaflói Bay, and discover city of colourful buildings and striking architecture with a host of restaurants, bars, cafés and shops that easily justify its claim to be among Europe’s most ‘happening’ cities.

Soak in natural thermal pools, absorbing the mineral-rich waters, or indulge in a purifying algae mask at the Blue Lagoon, or journey into the pristine Icelandic countryside to see the great lava arena that was site of the world’s oldest national parliament at Þingvellir, the "original" Geysir after which all others are named, or the stunning Gullfoss waterfall. As night falls, search skies free from light pollution for signs of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), and watch awe-struck as licks of purple and green flicker overhead.

Far smaller, but just as lovely, the Northern Isles are cruise destinations you also mustn't miss. Get a taste of life on the Faroes in the small communities of Tórshavn or Klaksvik, where iconic turf-roofed houses stand surrounded by breathtaking scenery, and provide a unique, unforgettable haven for bird-watchers and lovers of marine wildlife.

Take an Icelandic cruise with Newmarket Holidays, and discover landscapes full of dramatic scenery, ancient history and legends, quaint towns, striking cities and plenty of real "wow" moments.
