Viking Voyages & Volcanoes – Reykjavik from Southampton

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from June 21, 2026. This one's 11 nights from Southampton, and the route visits Leith (Edinburgh), Invergordon and Måløy, with additional stops along the Iceland. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You wind up in Reykjavik, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Iceland route takes in United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Star keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
