NOTE: This program is not accessible for wheelchair use.

DAY 1

After arriving at Keflavík airport, you will transfer by private vehicle to your city-based hotel.

Check in time is at 3:00pm. Should your flight be scheduled to arrive sooner than this, you may wish to purchase an extra night, so your room is ready upon your arrival. Otherwise, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your room is available.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure with meals on your own.

The team at the Regent Seven Seas Hospitality desk can offer recommendations for sightseeing and dining.

Note: Iceland Parliament Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton is located in the city center, next to the Icelandic Parliament and across from Austurvollur Square. Reykjavik Cathedral, Harpa Concert Hall, and City Hall are within a five-minute walk. Enjoy first-class dining at the hotel restaurant or perhaps pamper yourself in the spa.

Couples or pairs will be transferred by private van or SUV (max 4 large bags total plus 1 carry-on per person); solo guests will use a sedan (2 large suitcases plus a carry-on). Extra luggage may require a larger vehicle at additional cost—notify your RSSC booking agent at least 14 days before sailing with this information. Transfers include driver only.

DAY 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for a full day of touring South Iceland. While traveling through a mountain pass and into fertile farmland, you will enjoy astonishing views of the countryside, especially along this section of the Ring Road, which is flanked by rugged mountains, glittering glaciers and towering volcanoes.

A comfort stop will be made at LAVA Center where you will see a short educational movie about volcanic activity that reveals the lava theme that is an integral part of Iceland especially now with the active eruption near Grindavik.

Enjoy panoramic views across South Iceland’s countryside from LAVA Centre’s observation deck, with views towards Hekla and glacier-capped Eyjafjallajökull in clear weather. Note: The Observation deck is accessible by negotiating approximately 80 steps.

Behold the beauty of Seljalandsfoss waterfall as it tumbles off Eyjafjallajökull Glacier into a deep pool below. If you don’t mind getting wet, you can walk behind the cascade to see it from the other side.

Just before lunch, an exterior visit is made at Vik Church, famous for its postcard views.

For lunch, savor traditional Icelandic cuisine at Berg restaurant in hotel Vik i Myrdal. A set menu includes Icelandic Smoked Salmon as a starter, Pan-Fried Arctic Char as a main course and Icelandic Rhubarb Cake for the dessert.

After lunch, take a short drive to discover striking black-sand coastline. Depending on local conditions and whether puffins are present, your guide will select either Reynisfjara Beach or Dyrhólaey Cliffs for your coastal stop. At Reynisfjara, admire the black volcanic sands and dramatic offshore sea stacks; at Dyrhólaey, enjoy sweeping views of the black-sand coastline from above, with the added opportunity to spot puffins. These distinctive seabirds add a special wildlife element to the day. Both options offer views of the black-sand coast, but only one stop is included. Beach access is subject to safety restrictions, and puffin sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Following a panoramic drive through Iceland’s dramatic southern landscape and a short 10—15-minute hike, pause for a spectacular viewpoint overlooking Sólheimajökull Glacier, an impressive glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier.

Following a panoramic drive through Iceland’s dramatic southern landscape and a short 10—15-minute hike, pause for a spectacular viewpoint overlooking Sólheimajökull Glacier, an impressive glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier.

Then visit Skógafoss Waterfall, one of the largest waterfalls in the country. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is frequently seen on sunny days.

Upon returning to your hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DAY 3

Today, experience the celebrated Golden Circle with added tastes, traditions and encounters that bring Iceland’s landscapes to life.

After breakfast, depart for Þingvellir National Park, where dramatic geology and the story of Iceland’s early parliament come together. Explore a rift-valley landscape shaped by the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates pulling apart.

Then discover a delicious use of the Icelandic natural heat during Laugarvatn geothermal bakery visit that is right by the shores of Laugarvatn lake. Learn how traditional Icelandic rye bread is baked underground, then taste the finished bread with butter and fish accompaniments. It is an opportunity to experience a local tradition as well as a distinctive Icelandic flavor arranged specially for Regent guests.

Bread is baked and removed from the ground at scheduled times; witnessing its removal cannot be guaranteed.

You will next visit Gullfoss Waterfalls, whose name comes from the golden color of its water as it churns up silt and sediment. These magnificent waterfalls in the Hvitá River are fed by Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest glacier. The cascades are more than 100 feet high and fall in two tiers making for a magnificent sight. If not for the tenacity of a local environmental activist, Gullfoss would have been covered by the waters of a proposed hydroelectric dam.

Enjoy a buffet lunch at the Geysir hotel restaurant, featuring smoked salmon, herring, baked fish, roast beef and fresh salads, alongside soups, homemade bread and Geysir rye bread. Choose from meat, fish, and vegetarian hot dishes, and finish with a selection of desserts.

At the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, explore steaming pools and watch for an eruption of Strokkur. The landscape offers a vivid introduction to the geothermal energy beneath Iceland’s surface.

Discover Iceland’s equestrian heritage at Friðheimar Farm with a horse show and stables visit arranged privately for Regent guests. Accompanied by lively Icelandic music, the show introduces this distinctive breed and showcases its celebrated gaits. Afterwards, visit the stables for a closer encounter with the horses.

Your final stop is Kerið, where a crater lake sits within striking red volcanic slopes. The contrast of water and colorful rock offers a final photographic highlight before returning to the city.

Once you return to the hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, enjoy a brief city tour. You’ll have a panoramic drive passing Höfði House and Harpa Concert Hall and short walk in the center. Stop for photos at Hallgrimskirkja church and to view the Parliament Buildings and their surrounding sites.

Next, drive to Perlan, a nature museum with a revolving observation deck that offers a stunning 360° view of Reykjavik.

Then, it’s off to the world’s only live lava show, a highly engaging experience that recreates a volcanic eruption by superheating real lava that slowly flows into a special area of the showroom. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows you to get so close to molten lava that you can hear it sizzling and feel its intense heat.

After the show, you will drive to the port of Reykjavik for embarkation.

Due to limited access as various sites, this program is not recommended for guests with mobility restrictions or for those who require the use of a wheelchair or scooter. Should guests need to participate with a wheelchair, they must have someone to push as well as load the chair into the coach as guides are not permitted to take on this task. Guests must be able to manage a few steps into the tour coach. Accessible rooms are quite limited and need to be requested in advance.

Sites with limitations:

Geyser bread experience: The site is located on a small hill with no vehicle access. Guests must walk a few meters but there is no pathway, and the gate is narrow so a wheelchair will not fit through.

Black sand beach: Gravel parking area

Solheimajokull: Not accessible and glacier cannot be seen from the parking area

Skogafoss: Gravel walking path

If you have any food intolerances or special dietary needs, please inform us prior to your departure for review by our local vendors. It is important that your land program extension reflects these details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. Unfortunately, we are unable to make changes to the menu on the day of the meal, so advance notice is essential.
