Ports of Call

Reykjavik, Iceland

Your Icelandic journey begins in Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital and a city that hums with a unique blend of creative energy and profound natural connection. While it serves as your point of embarkation, to treat it as a mere starting line would be to miss the very soul of modern Iceland. We strongly encourage you to arrive one or two days early, allowing you to acclimate, unwind, and immerse yourself in a culture that is as warm and dynamic as the geothermal springs bubbling beneath its surface.

Iceland's capital and largest city is located on the country's southwest coast at the head of Faxafloi Bay. Settled in 877 AD, Reykjavik has grown into an important seaport and center of government and education with theatres, museums and observatories. Interestingly, this modern city still chooses to use water from nearby hot springs to heat all of its buildings, a testament to its innovative and sustainable spirit. Arriving early provides a crucial buffer against potential travel delays and allows you to begin your well-deserved vacation in a state of relaxed discovery, not a frantic rush to the pier.

A Suggested Pre-Cruise Itinerary: - Day 1: Arrival, Acclimation, and Architectural Wonders

Upon landing at Keflavik International Airport (KEF), your introduction to Iceland's otherworldly landscape begins. The 45-minute drive to Reykjavik takes you through vast, moss-covered lava fields that feel like another planet. Convenient and comfortable airport shuttles or pre-booked transfers will deliver you directly to your city hotel.

After settling in, take to the streets of this remarkably walkable city. Your first landmark should be the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja, the expressionist church whose design was inspired by the basalt columns formed by cooling lava. Take the elevator to the top for a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city's colorful rooftops, the surrounding bay, and the distant mountains—an excellent way to get your bearings.

From there, meander down towards the waterfront to see the striking Sun Voyager (Sólfar) sculpture, a gleaming steel ode to discovery that beautifully captures the city's Viking spirit. Continue your walk along the harbor to the Harpa Concert Hall, an architectural masterpiece of geometric glass panels that shimmer with the changing light. For dinner, explore Reykjavik's celebrated culinary scene. Move beyond the clichés and discover New Nordic cuisine, where chefs create magic with locally sourced lamb, arctic char, and skyr. From Michelin-recognized establishments to cozy, neighborhood bistros, the quality is exceptional.

Day 2: Geothermal Wellness and Natural Grandeur - Today is for experiencing the elemental forces that define Iceland. You have two superb options, each offering a different kind of rejuvenation.
  • Option A: The Blue Lagoon. Indulge in the ultimate pre-cruise relaxation. This world-famous geothermal spa is an iconic Icelandic experience. Immerse yourself in the mineral-rich, milky-blue waters, apply a silica mud mask, and feel the stress of your daily life melt away. It is the perfect prescription for a hardworking professional seeking tranquility before the intellectual engagement of your onboard conference.
  • Option B: The Golden Circle. For a day of profound discovery, embark on a tour of the Golden Circle, Iceland's most famous sightseeing route. This accessible loop from Reykjavik introduces you to three staggering natural wonders. First, Þingvellir National Park, a site of immense historical and geological importance where you can walk in the rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Next, witness the raw power of the Gullfoss waterfall, the “Golden Falls,” as it thunders into a deep canyon. Finally, experience the geothermal fields of Haukadalur, where the geyser Strokkur erupts with spectacular force every few minutes.
In the evening, enjoy a final Icelandic dinner or explore the main shopping street, Laugavegur, for unique souvenirs like a classic hand-knitted wool sweater (lopapeysa) or minimalist Icelandic design pieces.

By the time you board your ship, you won't just be starting a cruise; you'll be continuing an adventure that has already begun. You'll be rested, inspired, and carrying with you the unforgettable landscapes and creative spirit of Reykjavik.

Heimaey, Iceland

Seydisfjordur, Iceland

The arrival into Seydisfjordur is an experience in itself, a slow passage down a 10-mile-long fjord flanked by steep mountainsides streaked with waterfalls. The town that awaits is one of Iceland's most picturesque, a compact collection of colorful, 19th-century Norwegian-style wooden buildings nestled at the water's edge. The primary activity here is a simple, delightful walk through the village center.

The undeniable focal point is the iconic rainbow-painted path leading to the pale blue Seyðisfjarðarkirkja church, a scene of gentle charm. For its small size, Seydisfjordur has a surprisingly vibrant artistic soul, nurtured by a community of creatives and anchored by the Skaftfell Center for Visual Art. You'll find small galleries and workshops that lend a bohemian character to the historic streets.

For a dose of raw nature, an easy and accessible walk from town leads to the beautiful Gufufoss waterfall, a powerful cascade just off the main road. Alternatively, simply strolling the fjord's edge offers tranquility and the chance to spot seals. Seydisfjordur isn't a place of grand monuments; its profound appeal lies in its preserved character, creative spirit, and serene, dramatic setting.

At Sea - Cruising

Invergordon (Inverness), Scotland

South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland

Rotterdam, Holland

Rotterdam, Europe's largest port, is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. Where many European cities charm with centuries-old architecture, Rotterdam captivates with its bold, innovative spirit, having been almost entirely rebuilt after WWII. This dynamic metropolis is an open-air gallery of modern architectural marvels. Your day can begin with a stroll across the iconic Erasmus Bridge, nicknamed "The Swan," for stunning skyline views. Nearby, you'll find the surreal Cube Houses designed by Piet Blom; you can even step inside one to experience this unique living concept. A few steps away is the magnificent Markthal, an architectural wonder with a horseshoe-shaped arch filled with apartments, covering a bustling market of gourmet food stalls and restaurants—perfect for a culturally rich lunch.

For a taste of the city's pre-war past, take a short trip to the historic Delfshaven district. This charming pocket of Old Holland, with its gabled houses and canal-side windmills, miraculously survived the bombardments and offers a poignant contrast to the city's modern core. Art and maritime history enthusiasts will appreciate the world-class institutions in the Museum Park, such as the Kunsthal, or the comprehensive Maritime Museum, which details the city's deep connection to the sea. For a unique perspective, hop on a water taxi to zip beneath the city's famous bridges. Rotterdam offers a refreshing and intellectually stimulating day ashore, celebrating human creativity and the enduring power of renewal.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
  • Prescription replacements
