Grundarfjörður’s rich history abounds with stories and legends of Viking warriors. The nearby village of Stykkishólmur is rife with folklore connected to sagas that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Snow-capped mountains, glaciers and icebergs of Prince Christian Sound beckon to you and your fellow explorers as you make a possible landing in the tiny village of Aappilattoq. Lush hiking trails resplendent with wildflowers in the summer make the Greenland Arboretum of Narsarsuaq an enchanting adventure to share with new friends. Greenland’s hot springs are renowned, but the outdoor spa on the uninhabited island of Uunartoq near Qaqortoq stands out with mountain peak views in the distance. Lying off the beaten path amid a scene of wild fjords, the village of Paamiut truly embodies the essence of exploration. As you and your new friends hike the paths of ancient trails, white-tailed eagles may soar above. It’s said if you spot one, it will bring luck.

In the southwest of Iceland near Faxaflói Bay lies the capital of the country, Reykjavík, simultaneously cosmopolitan and charming.

Kaleidoscopic views await you at the Harpa Concert Hall, a glittering, glass structure that perfectly exemplifies Iceland’s modern design and will fascinate your inner architect.

Amid the wondrous features of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula lies the small town of Grundarfjörður, home to fewer than 1,000 inhabitants. Its shining star of a landmark, Kirkjufell, translating to "Church Mountain," beckons explorers to come and discover the beauty of Iceland. Together with the mountain, a three-pronged waterfall called Kirkjufellsfoss creates an exquisite scene straight out of fantasy. Taking a walk through the center of town, you will come across an orca on land. It’s actually a sculpture created by Unnsteinn Guðmundsson and it was modeled after Thunderstorm the orca, a male whale who often greets visitors during whale watching tours.

Around the sound wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of fin, minke and blue whales, as well as bearded and ringed seals.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE — Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a spontaneous sense of exploration as your Captain works with our expedition team to determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris.
