Ride the waves of the North Atlantic as you observe marine creatures in the waters beyond Reykjavik's Old Harbour. Engage with the educational aids on your ship as you learn about the aquatic environment, and keep your eyes peeled for whales and seabirds as your captain steers you to the best locations.
Board your vessel for the day and leave the port of Reykjavik behind. Head to Faxaflói Bay, where you can glimpse species like humpback and minke whales, harbour porpoises, and white-beaked dolphins in their natural habitats. En route, train your binoculars on the sky to see a wide variety of bird life, such as gannets, guillemots, and puffins, and check out exhibits of baleen plates, whale teeth, and whale bones.
Throughout the cruise, you can warm up in the ship's comfortable and spacious interior or grab a warm drink from the cafe to enjoy the bracing sea air on the outdoor deck. Friendly onboard marine experts plus interactive reference materials mean you're sure to find the answers to all of your questions, whether you want to know about efforts to conserve Iceland's precious natural beauty or learn about less common species—like orca whales or basking sharks—that you might spot during your time on the high seas.
