Here’s an itinerary of Iceland’s 8-day journey:
DEPARTING SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 2025
— DAY 1 —
REYKJAVÍK,
ICELAND
In Iceland’s capital, the striking modern architecture of landmarks like Harpa concert hall takes inspiration from the surrounding natural beauty of geysers, waterfalls and thermal baths.
— DAY 2 —
HEIMAEY ISLAND,
ICELAND
The ruggedly beautiful island of Heimaey may be best experienced on Ilma’s open-air decks as you sail along volcanic landscapes and pristine waters inhabited by an array of wildlife including orcas, dolphins and puffins.
— DAY 3 —
SAILING THE
ARCTIC CIRCLE
As you sail the Arctic Circle under the summer sun, whales may breach the surface and seabirds dive for the day’s catch, providing a scenic backdrop for dining at Ilma’s alfresco grill.
— DAY 4 —
AKUREYRI,
ICELAND
Situated at the head of Eyjafjörður, the colorful streets of Akureyri are lined with quaint cafés, boutiques and galleries, while the countryside offers natural wonders like the thundering waterfall of Goðafoss.
— DAY 5 —
SIGLUFJÖRÐUR,
ICELAND
A hike along the fjord’s glaciated mountains and sandy black shores works up an appetite for fresh fish at a local restaurant in town and a tasting at Siglufjörður’s microbrewery.
— DAY 6 —
ÍSAFJÖRÐUR,
ICELAND
The dramatic scenery in and around Ísafjörður invites hiking to the top of Dynjandi waterfall, kayaking in the glacial fjord or taking a boat trip to Vigur Island, home to thousands of adorable puffins and eider ducks.
— DAY 7 —
GRUNDARFJÖRÐUR,
ICELAND
With a glacier-crowned volcanic crater and underground lava caves, the landscape of Snæfellsjökull National Park near Grundarfjörður is so striking that it inspired Jules Verne’s novel Journey to the Center of the Earth.
— DAY 8 —
REYKJAVÍK,
ICELAND
This journey comes full circle with a return to Reykjavík, where you might reflect on your voyage while relaxing in the soothing turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon.
