Iceland - Land Of Ice & Fire

The jewel in the Atlantic’s crown, Iceland’s super-sized landscapes will leave you breathless. A magnet for walkers, nature lovers, and northern lights enthusiasts, the land of fire and ice has it all. Hear the cracking and low thunder of glaciers creaking, observe super-charged geysers exploding upwards, and see volcanoes rise against the Arctic sky. Iceland's fragile crust creates some of nature's greatest spectacles and we aim to show you the finest remote fjords of the northern and eastern coasts. You may even spot the Aurora Borealis as early as our September tour departure!

This Cruise and Walk holiday delivers the best of the natural world, an artistic capital, spectacular scenery, geothermal eruptions, glaciers and fjords. Iceland offers so much to tick off your bucket list. Its volcanic landscape, rugged coastline and wild vastness exert a deep pull on the imagination. A bonus is the chance to observe the diverse bird life which we hope to see in the north of the island including puffins. Iceland has a reputation for being expensive however, on a Ramblers Cruise & Walk holiday, you benefit from excellent value and all the amazing scenery you would expect from a land-based holiday.

One of the great things about Cruise & Walk is the opportunity to visit the more remotely located areas such as Isafjörður in the northwest, and Seydisfjörður on the northern coast. Plus, we are sure you will be amazed by the natural scenery on the Golden Circle tour and Akureyri. From Reykjavik, we visit the continental divide and some of the more dramatic waterfalls for which the country is well known, plus walk in areas where the earth’s crust is so thin that steam fills the air. Whilst you will not experience 24 hours of daylight or the ‘midnight sun’, it is unlikely you see darkness. For example, in Akureyri on 28th June the sun sets at 00.42 and rises just over an hour later. 

At the end of each day’s activities you will return to the comfort of the ship to enjoy excellent food, evening entertainment and facilities to enjoy during your free time as we sail towards another incredible destination.

Please note, ports of call may change between different departure dates. It is important to check the individual tour date proposed itinerary for details of your cruise.
