Perhaps join an exhilarating Hjørundfjord fjord cruise to absorb the breathtaking views of the majestic mountains which rise from the fjord to heights of more than 1500m. To be immersed in such a dramatic landscape will truly stir your soul.

Alesund is nestled atop a peninsula between two bright blue fjords. Today you will find yourself plunged into the intriguing fairytale atmosphere of Alesund – where winding streets are painted with pastel coloured facades and topped with turrets, spires, gables and dragon heads as the smell of fresh seafood fills the air. Maybe take a walk to reach the Sukkertoppen, the “sugar peak” where you can ascend the mountain via a narrow trail during a spectacular 1 hour hike. Be enchanted by views of beautiful Ålesund, the magnificent Borgund Fjord and the distant Sunnmøre Alps and enjoy a scenic drive back through the Nordic countryside to Ålesund’s vibrant town.

Maybe admire traditional architecture on the fascinating island of Godøy and visit Alnes, a picturesque fisherman’s village. If Art Nouveau is your style then consider a visit to the Jugendstilsenteret - the National Art Nouveau Centre - admire the magical town of Ålesund from above by climbing up 418 steps to the panoramic heights of Mount Aksla with a view of the picture perfect islands that surround the town and marvel at the Sunnmøre Alps.

DAY 12 Explore Akureyri (Iceland)

Iceland is an epic symphony of natural splendour. Here you can witness the majesty of Europe’s largest glacier, take a front row seat to the Northern Lights or sip on Brennivín in the midnight sun. One of the most volcanically active landscapes on the planet, where natural hot springs steam, geysers gush and glistening glaciers and vast ash deserts will take your breath away. This ‘fire and ice’ Nordic nation is astonishingly unique.

Today experience the northern Eyjafjörður Fjord and the small city of Akureyri, the spectacular gateway to nearby Lake Mývatn, Húsavík and the Jökulsárgljúfur National Park.

Step ashore today into the land of legend. Perhaps start your day of exploration at the breathtakingly spectacular “Waterfall of the Gods”. According to folklore, in the year 1,000, Law-speaker of the Althing made the decision that the nation of Iceland would convert to Christianity. He ceremoniously disposed of Norse pagan idols (Thor, Odin and Freyr) into the falls – which angered the Gods and split the falls in two.

Maybe discover the natural wonders of this dazzling land in the Lake Myvatn region – be enchanted by the incredible variety of colours, varying from the bright green meadows to the red minerals erupting from the depths of the island. Reveal the pseudo-craters of Skutustaðir, generated by underground vapours produced by an eruption 2500 years ago. Explore Dimmuborgir, an incredible labyrinth of lava, where amidst peculiar formations rises the Kirkjan, reminiscent of a Gothic Church with two pointed-arch portals and, inside, real chapels with altars. You could complete your extraordinary day at the Viti crater, known also as the Inferno, one of the many mouths of the central Krafla volcano and enjoy a warm soak in its pristine internal lake.

Perhaps explore Akureyri – Iceland’s “capital of the north”. Just 60km shy of the Arctic Circle, this small city is nestled amidst dreamy snowcapped peaks at the head of Iceland’s longest fjord. With a surprisingly mild climate, cool cafes, quality restaurants and modern art galleries adorn this charming town; geothermal swimming pools, historic 19th century wooden houses and the twin spires of a modern Lutheran church adding depth to the build landscape, beyond which volcanic natural glory abounds. Being this close to the North Pole – thoughts of Santa will surely have crossed your mind – so maybe take the opportunity while you can to visit Santa Clause’s house, a delightful Christmas toy shop, with the largest Advent calendar in the world.

Arrive into Akureyri at 8am for a full day before setting sail again at 6pm. You can spend a fascinating day exploring Akureyri your own way – or perhaps take one of the optional tours like Best of Akureyri ($335), Godafoss Waterfall, Lava Labyrinth & Hot Springs ($280), Godafoss Waterfall, Botanical Gardens & City Drive ($155), Godafoss, Botanical Gardens & Laufas Folk Museum ($210), Godafoss Waterfall & Myvatn Nature Baths ($335), Siglufjordur, Herring Era Museum & Salting Show ($280), Akureyri Adventure: Waterfalls & Mountain View by 4x4 ($810), Whale Watching Adventure ($280) or Flightseeing Over Lake Myvatn Area ($1125).

Today we explore Iceland’s remote West Fjords and cruise into magnificent Skutulsfjörður fjord to visit Isafjordur. It’s hard to imagine a much more dramatic location; built on the L-shaped spit, which stretches out into the narrow icy waters of the fjord. Here you can discover huge waterfalls, spectacular mountain scenery or explore the township.

Ísafjörður is surrounded by steep mountains and blessed with wildlife and scenery that is simply breathtaking. Maybe experience waterfalls cascading down majestic mountains, stand beneath the awesome power of ancient glaciers and within the fields once traversed by Vikings. One of Iceland's most spectacular waterfalls and some of the most stunning landscapes are found at Dynjandi waterfall. See puffins and even a red and gold sand beach that has to be seen to be believed. Maybe relish the opportunity to learn about avalanches, arctic foxes and the vibrant food and culture of the traditional fishing village of Suðureyri. Perhaps glide across the pristine glassy waters of an Icelandic fjord on a kayak or cruise across the harbour to behold the incredible grandeur of the resident whales.

Maybe explore this quaint yet cosmopolitan township, spectacularly surrounded by astounding natural beauty and enveloped by lush mountain peaks. This historic settlement is a charming web of old tin-clad and timber buildings, many unchanged from their heyday in the 18th and 19th century when tall ships and Norwegian whaling crews filled the harbour. Located in the sparsely populated region of northwest Iceland and built around a thriving fishing industry, Ísafjörður is a small town of ancient origins where history and legend unite. Perhaps discover the oldest standing Icelandic house, built in 1743 or visit Ósvör, once a fisherman’s village and now an open-air museum. Maybe investigate the legend of the “troll’s seat” – a large depression shaped like a half moon in the flat mountains that surround the Isafjordur fjord.

Maybe release the secrets of an earlier time on Vigur Island and admire the resident sea lions who feed on marine birds such as the puffin, the black guillemot, the aggressive arctic tern and the common eider - or witness the past re-emerging in the historic town of Nedstikaupstadur, where in the mid-15th century Icelandic and Norwegian merchants first, and then British and German would meet in the bay of Isafjord.

Arrive into Isafjordur at 7am for a full day before setting sail again at 6pm. You can spend an exciting day exploring this alluring region your own way – or perhaps take one of the optional tours like Best of West Fjords – Dynjandi Waterfall & Villages ($525), Bolungarvik Church, Osvor Museum & Maritime Museum ($235), Arctic Fox Center & Icelandic Folk Music Performance ($235), Skrudur & Flateyri Village ($225), Cruise to Vigur Island ($380), Hesteyri & Glacier Fjord Cruise ($335), Whale Watching & Wildlife Cruise ($350), Local Connections: Fish of the Westfjords ($180), A Walk Through Isafjordur ($125) or Calm Fjord Kayaking ($255).

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, overnight Sky/Majestic/Emerald Princess

DAY 14 Explore Grundarfjordur

Today we arrive in Grundarfjordur, a quaint Icelandic town nestled between the dramatic peaks of Kirkjufell Mountain and the shimmering waters of the fjord – exuding a serene beauty that feels almost otherworldly. The town's splendid rows of colourful houses stand in stark contrast to the wild volcanic peaks and mesmerising lava fields that encircle the idyllic streetscapes of the village. Waterfalls cascade down rocky cliffs and the Northern Lights dance across the sky in winter, painting an ethereal glow above the tranquil village. One of the oldest settlements on the island, Grundarfjörður invites you to experience the untouched splendour of Iceland's natural wonders and immerse yourself in the tales of the ancient Icelandic “sagas” – one of the oldest literary traditions in Western Europe. Weaving tales of Norse gods, fierce battles and enduring legacies, the sagas echo the village’s deep connection to a thousand years of tradition.

You could stand beneath the iconic Kirkjufell mountain (hailed as one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland), explore the stunning Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, embark on a whale watching tour (in season see orcas and humpback whales), admire Gerðuberg (stunning basalt columns and lava formations) or discover Vatnshellir Cave, descending into the heart of an ancient lava tube. Alternatively, choose to take a trip to the nearby cliffs of Lóndrangar (home to a variety of seabirds including puffins), perhaps immerse yourself in Icelandic folklore and history at the Bjarnarhöfn Shark Museum (learn about the traditional process of fermenting shark meat) or simply slip into a local hot pot to experience the Icelandic tradition of bathing whilst enjoying the spectacular views.

Arrive into Grundarfjordur at 7am for a full day before setting sail again at 6pm.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, overnight Sky/Majestic/Emerald Princess

DAY 15 Explore Reykjavik

Today we enjoy remarkable Reykjavik, where you can experience Iceland’s renowned Blue Lagoon, dramatic glaciers, huge volcanoes, stunning lava tunnels and captivating Viking history. There is so much to experience here, it’s known as Iceland’s Golden Circle.

Perhaps experience the healing warm waters and otherworldly atmosphere of the famed Blue Lagoon. The beautiful milky-blue water of this subterranean natural spa is unlike anything else found on earth and starkly contrasts with the surrounding black lava fields and creeping gray moss. The temperature of the Blue Lagoon is a consistent 39 C year-round, making it the perfect bathing temperature.

Immerse yourself in Iceland’s dramatic landscapes carved by the forces of nature and time, to experience the huge volcanos, giant glaciers and ice caps. You can make your way through fumaroles, hot springs, and steam vents enroute to one of Iceland’s tempestuous volcanos. Marvel at multi-coloured pools of boiling mud, uncover the secrets of daring Viking history, be swept away by the magic of Langjökull Glacier and walk through a man-made ice cave. Perhaps head out into the icey blue ocean waters with the chance to see 11 different whale species which call Icelandic waters their home.

Uncover the powerful forces of geothermal activity and be inspired by this intriguing phenomenon. From providing the most economical heating in all of the Nordic countries to the enormous pressure behind the erupting geysers speckled throughout this magical land. Maybe take the opportunity to be amazed by Geysir in the Haukadalur valley, the oldest known and tallest of the erupting hot springs from which the term originates. Its dramatic eruptions spray boiling water from 60m to 100m into the air.

Mirrored in the waters of its bay, the vibrant small city of Reykjavik is alive with a rich arts and culture scene, deliciously eclectic culinary scene and pumping live music. The world’s northern most capital city, and a designated City of Literature, was first settled by the Vikings. Encircled by awe inspiring natural beauty, this geothermal urban gem, graced with natural hot springs, Viking history museums and quirky, creative and community minded locals is the compelling, cosmopolitan gateway to Iceland. Perhaps commence today’s discovery by meandering along the seafront to discover a variety of unique shops, live music clubs and cafés. Take a stroll down Frakkastigur up to Lækjartorg, to admire the Sólfar, (Sun Voyager), a large modern steel sculpture depicting a Viking vessel. Wander into the historic town centre, in the districts of Aðalstræti and Suðurgata to reveal the intriguing remains of primitive Icelandic dwellings. Look up in wonder at the spectacular church of Hallgrímur as it stands guard over the dazzling city of Reykjavík. Ensure you do not miss the opportunity while you are here to take your taste-buds on a journey through some of the Icelandic traditional fare. Bread was scarce here in days gone by so meals were accompanied with a chewy piece of dried and salted Hardfishkur or stockfish. Taste this old-fashioned staple with Plokkfiskur - an Icelandic fish stew or "Humar" an Icelandic lobster. Delight in traditional Hangikjot - smoked lamb, Kjotsupa – an old-fashioned meat soup or the infamous Pylsa – a Hot Dog made from a blend of lamb, beef, and pork. But it would not be a trip to Iceland without dipping your spoon into a tub of the renowned Icelandic Skyr - a traditional dairy product that resembles yogurt but is technically classified as cheese - introduced to Iceland by the Vikings.

Arrive into Reykjavik at 7am for an extraordinary day before setting sail again at 6pm.
