Day by day
Day 1 · March 30, 2028
Overnight Flight
You're on your way to Iceland, a land and culture forged by fire and ice — where steaming lava fields and massive glaciers sculpt mountains and valleys, leaving thundering waterfalls and plunging fjords. In this land of many natural wonders, enjoy the rare opportunity to search for the aurora borealis, one of nature's most dazzling light displays, also known as the northern lights.*

Gather with your fellow travelers at a popular restaurant for dinner featuring Icelandic cuisine.

Connect with the resilient spirit of Iceland at the Skógar Museum, where its farm, domestic artifacts, and preserved turf-built houses bring rural Iceland to life. Afterward, stand in awe before the impressive Skógafoss Waterfall, one of Iceland's biggest and most beautiful waterfalls. Cap off your day with a visit to Sólheimajökull Glacier, Iceland's fourth-largest glacier. After dinner, gaze at the sky in search of the northern lights.*

Witness the breathtaking sight of an iceberg calving from a glacier and floating serenely towards the Atlantic Ocean. Keep an eye out for seals swimming in cold waters. Explore the "Diamond Beach," where ice sculptures from the lagoon wash ashore and glitter brilliantly against the stark black sand. After soaking in this unforgettable landscape, return to Vík.
