Arctic Cruises & Tours in Iceland

This 8-day Arctic voyage departs from Reykjavik aboard Scenic Eclipse and takes you to remote destinations like Ittoqqortoormiit above the Arctic Circle while navigating Scoresbysund's massive fjord that plunges 600 meters deep. Walk to Godafoss Waterfall in Akureyri, hike through Valagil Canyon's lava-layered cliffs in Isafjordur, and see Dynjandi Waterfall.

Head north to the remote Westfjords where you'll find dramatic cliffs at Látrabjarg teeming with puffins and other seabirds during summer months. The Arctic landscape here feels wild and untouched, with small fishing villages like Ísafjörður serving as gateways to fjord explorations. You can kayak through calm Arctic waters surrounded by towering mountains, or hike to Dynjandi waterfall which cascades down in multiple tiers. In winter, the northern town of Akureyri becomes a base for whale watching tours in Eyjafjörður fjord, where humpback whales and dolphins appear regularly. The midnight sun in June and July keeps the sky bright around the clock, letting you explore longer without needing artificial light.

This voyage takes you from Reykjavik to Grundarfjörður through Iceland's remote Arctic regions, crossing the Arctic Circle near Sauðárkrókur as you sail the northern waters. Check out the famous 1,350-foot cliffs on Ella Island in Northeast Greenland National Park, then visit Ittoqqortoormiit—a tiny town of just 350 people living traditional Inuit lifestyles in one of Greenland's most isolated spots. You can kayak among icebergs at Waltershausen Glacier in Nordfjord, where huge ice chunks break off from the Greenland Ice Sheet, and wrap up beneath the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain.
