Arctic Splendor – Reykjavik & Akureyri

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Reykjavik on August 1, 2026 and visits Seydisfjordur, Akureyri and Isafjordur. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The landscape looks like another planet: steam vents, lava fields, waterfalls dropping off cliffs. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Silhouette takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Reykjavik has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
