Basalt & Geysir – Reykjavik & Akureyri

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Rotterdam on June 11, 2028 and visits Invergordon, Seydisfjordur and Akureyri, with additional stops along the Iceland. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Iceland tour: 3 countries, from United Kingdom to Faroe Islands. Grundarfjordur stands out. It's Kirkjufell mountain's iconic silhouette. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Rotterdam has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
