Discover the Land of Fire & Ice with Windstar

ICELAND

MEET US AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

Many of Windstar’s voyages in Iceland, like the 7-night Around Iceland itinerary, give you the opportunity to explore the region in depth:

Circumnavigate the entire island of Iceland, visiting remote ports and fjords with no sea days aboard a yacht-style cruise.
Sail past Surtsey, one of the world’s youngest islands, and step on volcanic Heimaey — the dramatic “Pompeii of the North.”
Search for whales and puffins as you explore rugged coastlines and seabird-rich cliffs by Zodiac boat.
Enjoy an exclusive folk music performance by local artists at the iconic Blue Church in Seydisfjordur; part of complimentary Destination Discovery Event.
Extend your adventure with a combined itinerary through Iceland, Greenland and Canada.

What Makes Iceland Unforgettable? Come See for Yourself

Known as the Land of Fire and Ice (and the Land That Gave Us Björk),
Iceland is one of the most unique destinations in the world.

It’s home to more than 100 volcanoes, 13 major glaciers, some of the world’s most powerful waterfalls and a population that still believes in elves (or maybe just a population with a great sense of humor — you decide).

It’s a land of dramatic extremes where the people are anything but — and it’s a place that we go to again and again. Find out what makes it so special…

Future Voyages

Leave the crowds behind and experience a different kind of cruise; where the allure, beauty and magic of the places you sail to is equalled only by the ship that takes you there. Windstar Cruises’ small ships are exactly the right size with only 148 to 312 guests; they are large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into the tiny harbours and hidden coves others can’t reach.

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your next holiday,
