Itinerary
Akureyri Port
North Iceland’s waterfall road awaits
Leave the ship beneath the mountains of Eyjafjörður and travel east through changing scenery towards two of Iceland’s most celebrated waterfalls. This scenic opening sets a relaxed pace for the day.
Goðafoss
Legend and beauty on the Skjálfandafljót
Walk between viewpoints around the broad horseshoe cascade known as the Waterfall of the Gods. White water, black lava and a pivotal Viking-era story make Goðafoss both beautiful and deeply Icelandic.
Lake Mývatn region
Volcanic scenery on the journey east
Cross landscapes shaped by lava and geothermal forces, with views towards Lake Mývatn and the open northern highlands adding remarkable variety between the two waterfalls.
Packed lunch stop
A relaxed pause in the northern landscape
Enjoy the included packed lunch during the day, taking time to recharge while surrounded by the clear air and expansive scenery of North Iceland.
Dettifoss
Feel the force of Europe’s great waterfall
Approach the immense Jökulsá á Fjöllum as glacial water thunders into Jökulsárgljúfur canyon. The sound, spray and raw volume of Dettifoss create one of Iceland’s most powerful natural spectacles.
Return to Akureyri Port
A grand finale across North Iceland
Travel back to Akureyri with two contrasting waterfall icons behind you: graceful, historic Goðafoss and the overwhelming elemental force of Dettifoss.
