Reikiavik

Behold the seemingly endless natural beauty of Iceland by visiting thundering waterfalls, ancient glaciers, geothermal hot springs and a gorgeous black sand beach that attests to the country’s volcanic creation.

AVISO: This program begins in Southampton, England where guests will disembark the ship and ends in Reykjavik, Iceland. Guests need to fly out of Iceland’s Keflavík Airport (KEF) on the last day of the program. An economy class internal flight between England and Iceland is included in this program and will be booked by RSSC.

Nota Especial: This program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair. Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on the internal flight.

DÍA 1

Disembark the ship in London and transfer to the airport for a flight to Reykjavik, Iceland.

After arriving at the Keflavík airport, you will be met and transferred to the Fosshotel Reykjavík

Aviso: Although the rooms are comfortable, they are quite basic and may face an inner courtyard or the street.

Check in time at the hotel is at 3:00pm.

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.

If any flight delays are encountered while enroute, guests should proceed to the airline counter for updates. Downloading the free airline app will also keep guests current of any changes and in the event of a cancellation or delay, the airline will notify them, via the app, of their new schedule.

Should guests have any questions pertaining to the internal air segment on this program, please call RSSC at 1.844.519.9613 (weekdays: 08:30 - 20:00 EST, Saturday:09:30 - 17:30 EST, Sunday: closed). Dial 7 if after regular business hours

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn.

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.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, you will help extract a loaf of dark rye bread from the ground oven and sample it. If you wish, you can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout.

Later, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

Una vez que regrese al hotel, tendrá el resto del día libre y la cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

Later, you will 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.

You will also see the majestic waterfall Skógafoss and stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

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

DÍA 4

Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will be transferred to the REK airport for your flight home. Check out time at the hotel is at 12:00pm. There is luggage storage available at the hotel for guests with later flights. Airport transfers are booked in accordance with the flight details received.

View the staggeringly beautiful natural wonders of Iceland – known as the Land of Fire and Ice for its volcanoes and glaciers – and come away with a deep respect for the country’s strict environmental policies.

Nota Especial: Due to limited access as various sites, this program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair.

DÍA 1

Disembark the ship in Reykjavik, meet your guide and start out on a brief city tour en-route to your hotel.

Aviso: make sure to eat a hearty breakfast before your departure.

Begin with a 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 real molten lava that you can hear it sizzling and feel its intense heat.

Finally, transfer to your city-based hotel for check-in. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure with lunch and dinner on your own. The team at the Regent Seven Seas Hospitality desk will be glad to recommend further sightseeing and dining options.

Aviso: Described as “Modern Scandi Bliss”, your hotel is located in the heart of the city. Although the rooms are comfortable, they are basic. We have included access to the hotel’s spa.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel meet your guide and depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn. Visit Öxarárfoss Waterfall.

Continuing, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring.

The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, give it a try! You can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout. Aviso: The process of baking and extracting the bread from the ground is only done at certain times in the day. Seeing this process 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.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Friðheimar Farm which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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 the hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you are transferred to Keflavík International Airport for your flight. Transfers will be set up according to the flight details provided. Luggage storage is available at the hotel for guests with later flights. Check out time at the hotel is at 12:00pm.

View the staggeringly beautiful natural wonders of Iceland – known as the Land of Fire and Ice for its volcanoes and glaciers – and come away with a deep respect for the country’s strict environmental policies.

Nota Especial: This program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair. Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on the internal flight.

DÍA 1

Disembark the ship in Reykjavik, meet your guide and start out on a brief city tour en route to your hotel.

Begin with a drive to Perland, 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 real molten lava that you can hear it sizzling and feel its intense heat.

Transfer to the Reykjavík Grand Hotel (or similar) for check in.

Aviso: Although the rooms are comfortable, they are quite basic.

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.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn.

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.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, you will help extract a loaf of dark rye bread from the ground oven and sample it. If you wish, you can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout.

Later, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

Una vez que regrese al hotel, tendrá el resto del día libre y la cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

Later, you will 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.

You will also see the majestic waterfall Skógafoss and stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

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

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you are transferred to the Reykjavik International Airport for your flight. Transfers will be set up according to the flight details provided. Luggage storage is available at the hotel for guests with later flights. Check out time at the hotel is at 12:00pm.

The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Just before lunch an exterior visit is made at Vik Church, famous for its postcard views and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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.

The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

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

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will 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.

Behold the seemingly endless natural beauty of Iceland by visiting thundering waterfalls, ancient glaciers, geothermal hot springs and a gorgeous black sand beach that attests to the country’s volcanic creation.

AVISO: This program begins in Reykjavik, Iceland and ends in Southampton, England where guests will board the ship. Guests need to fly into Iceland’s Keflavík Airport (KEF) for the start of this program. An economy class internal flight between Iceland and England is included in this program and will be booked by RSSC.

Nota Especial: This program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair. Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on the internal flight.

DÍA 1

After arriving at the Keflavík airport, you will transfer to the Reykjavík Grand Hotel for a 15:00 check-in.

Aviso: Although the rooms are comfortable, they are quite basic.

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.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn.

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.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, you will help extract a loaf of dark rye bread from the ground oven and sample it. If you wish, you can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout.

Later, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

Una vez que regrese al hotel, tendrá el resto del día libre y la cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

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.

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

DÍA 4

Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will transfer to the REK airport for your flight to the UK. Upon arrival in London, you will proceed through Customs and Immigration. After luggage claim, you will be met and assisted with a transfer to the port of Southampton where you will board the ship.

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.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide and depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn. Visit Öxarárfoss Waterfall.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, give it a try! You can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout. Aviso: The process of baking and extracting the bread from the ground is only done at certain times in the day. Seeing this process 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.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Friðheimar farm which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

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

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will 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.

Aviso: Although the rooms are comfortable, they are quite basic.

The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, you will help extract a loaf of dark rye bread from the ground oven and sample it. If you wish, you can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout.

Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, give it a try! You can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout. Aviso: The process of baking and extracting the bread from the ground is only done at certain times in the day. Seeing this process 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.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Friðheimar Farm which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

Una vez que regrese al hotel, tendrá el resto del día libre y la cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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 the hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you are transferred to Keflavík International Airport for your flight. Transfers will be set up according to the flight details provided. Luggage storage is available at the hotel for guests with later flights. Check out time at the hotel is at 12:00pm.

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 real molten lava that you can hear it sizzling and feel its intense heat.

Finally, transfer to your city-based hotel for check-in. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure with lunch and dinner on your own. The team at the Regent Seven Seas Hospitality desk will be glad to recommend further sightseeing and dining options.

Aviso: Described as “Modern Scandi Bliss”, your hotel is located in the heart of the city. Although the rooms are comfortable, they are basic. Your room type includes complimentary access to the hotel’s spa.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel meet your guide and depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn. Visit Öxarárfoss Waterfall.

Continuing, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, give it a try! You can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout. Aviso: The process of baking and extracting the bread from the ground is only done at certain times in the day. Seeing this process 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.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Friðheimar Farm which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

Una vez que regrese al hotel, tendrá el resto del día libre y la cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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 the hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you are transferred to Keflavík International Airport for your flight. Transfers will be set up according to the flight details provided. Luggage storage is available at the hotel for guests with later flights. Check out time at the hotel is at 12:00pm.

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

Later, you will 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.

You will also see the majestic waterfall Skógafoss and stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

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

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will drive to Perland, 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 real molten lava that you can hear it sizzling and feel its intense heat.

After the show, you will drive to the port and embark your cruise ship.

Behold the seemingly endless natural beauty of Iceland by visiting thundering waterfalls, ancient glaciers, geothermal hot springs and a gorgeous black sand beach that attests to the country’s volcanic creation.

AVISO: This program begins in Southampton, England where guests will disembark the ship and ends in Reykjavik, Iceland. Guests need to fly out of Iceland’s Keflavík Airport (KEF) on the last day of the program. An economy class internal flight between England and Iceland is included in this program and will be booked by RSSC.

Nota Especial: This program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair. Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on the internal flight.

DÍA 1

Disembark the ship in London and transfer to the airport for a flight to Reykjavik, Iceland.

After arriving at the Keflavík airport, you will be met and transferred to the Reykjavík Grand Hotel.

Aviso: Although the rooms are comfortable, they are quite basic.

Check in time at the hotel is at 3:00pm.

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.

If any flight delays are encountered while enroute, guests should proceed to the airline counter for updates. Downloading the free airline app will also keep guests current of any changes and in the event of a cancellation or delay, the airline will notify them, via the app, of their new schedule.

Should guests have any questions pertaining to the internal air segment on this program, please call RSSC at 1.844.519.9613 (weekdays: 08:30 - 20:00 EST, Saturday:09:30 - 17:30 EST, Sunday: closed). Dial 7 if after regular business hours

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn.

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.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, you will help extract a loaf of dark rye bread from the ground oven and sample it. If you wish, you can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout.

Later, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

Discover the natural wonders of southwestern Iceland, a gorgeous landscape of thundering waterfalls, ancient glaciers, geothermal phenomena and unspoiled national parks.

Día 1

After disembarking the ship in Reykjavik, you will depart for a full day tour along the magnificent west coast of Iceland.

Your first stop is at Deildartunguhver, Europe´s most powerful hot spring. It provides 180 l/sec of 100°C hot water.

Most of the water used for central heating in the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes is taken from Deildartunguhver. The hot water pipeline to Akranes is 64 km long, the longest in Iceland and the water is about 78 - 80°C when it reaches Akranes. If you take a shower anywhere within a 65 km radius of the spring, you have already bathed in the hot water from this powerful spring!

Next, get to know little bit about Iceland’s past heroes with a visit to Snorralaug (Snorri’s Sturluson bath) in the small town of Reykholt. Snorri was a poet, historian and politican born into a powerful chieftain family in the 13th century. Although you can no longer bathe here, you will learn how the thermal water from the hot spring Skrifla is led to the basin through a conduit.

Continue your drive to Hraunfossar Lava Falls, a beautiful and unusual natural phenomenal that has been protected since 1987. Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and run as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River.

Next, stop at another waterfall, Barnafoss “Children´s Fall”, a magical site in and of itself, twisting, turning, foaming and churning as it races down a narrow valley, from which you can view it from above. Barnafoss has also been a protected site since 1987. You will then head to lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, another adventure awaits you at the largest of all caves in Iceland, Víðgelmir. It is the size of 148,000 cubic meters, and one of the largest lava caves in the world. It has beautiful ice formations and deep inside there are lava stalactities and stalagmites. Víðgelmir lava cave is considered by specialists to be one of the most remarkable caves on earth.

Finally, you will reach your accommodation for the evening - Hótel Húsafell or similar countryside hotel. A three-course dinner is included.

Día 2

Following breakfast and check- out, you will depart for the Golden Circle tour ending in Reykjavík.

Drive towards Þingvellir National Park, a remarkable geological phenomenon and the most important historical site in Iceland. Þingvellir is situated by the biggest lake in Iceland called Þingvallavatn, the site of the world`s oldest democratic parliament founded in the year 930. The beautiful canyon running through the park is actually the meeting point of two of the earth`s tectonic plates and the area`s combination of natural phenomena and historical significance make it inseparable from the fabric of Icelandic national life. In 2004 the site of Þingvellir was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

The next stop is Gullfoss Waterfall, which roars through a rugged canyon before plummeting more than 100 feet down. The water from the White River falls in two stages, which adds even more drama to its descent. Gullfoss means Golden Waterfall in Icelandic because of the color of the water, which originates from a sediment-rich glacier.

Drive to Geysir, geothermal area where your will have the opportunity to see hot springs in abundances as well as the famous geyser "Strokkur" that spouts every few minutes, shooting column of piping hot water up to 20m (60 feet). After exploring the highlights on the Golden Circle, the group will enjoy a unique food experience at Friðheimar, a family-owned restaurant.

Followed by lunch guests can opt to take a dip at The Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, located in the geothermal area near the village of Flúðir. The Secret Lagoon was made in 1891 and is one of the oldest swimming pools in Iceland. The pools natural surroundings and steam rising into the air give the place a magical feeling. Around the lagoon you will find several hot spots and a walking path so guests can have a closer look at the boiling hot springs.

AVISO: There are change facilities at the Secret Lagoon and towels will be provided

Proceed to your hotel for check in and dinner on your own.

Overnight at Hótel Borg or similar hotel

Día 3

The Reykjanes Peninsula holds many geological wonders – one of the country’s deepest lakes, bubbling and steaming earth and the world-renowned Blue Lagoon.

After breakfast, your journey commences with a pleasant drive through the lively port town of Hafnarfjörður, situated picturesquely on an ancient lava flow. Head towards the renowned Blue Lagoon which is in the middle of a beautiful lava field, seemingly in the middle of nowhere in an otherworldly landscape. The Lagoon’s aquamarine colored water, the steam and the lava landscape surrounding it succeed in creating a unique and memorable atmosphere.

After relaxing in the warm waters of the lagoon you will head across the impressive volcanic plateau of Reykjanes, driving through the bustling fishing village of Grindavík before arriving at Krýsuvík, where the striking landscape has been shaped by volcanic eruptions and violent movements of the earth. In the geothermal field, powerful jets of steam escape from deep below the earth’s crust and the multicolored pools of boiling mud bubble and pop continuously.

On your way back to the city you will drive along the enchanting Kleifarvatn Lake, one of the deepest lakes in Iceland. To stretch your legs, snap a few photographs and enjoy the rugged but scenic landscape.

Return to your hotel where the afternoon and evening are at your leisure and lunch and dinner are on your own.

Your hotel overlooks the beautiful square of Austurvöllur, in the heart of Reykjavík, across from Althingi, the Icelandic parliament and the cathedral. The Borg, which has become one of Reykjavik’s landmarks, is conveniently located within walking distance of variety of restaurants, businesses, souvenir shops, art galleries and specialty shops.

Día 4

Following breakfast and check-out, you will transfer to the Keflavik Airport based on your flight departure time.

Explore the wilds of the Icelandic highlands in a Super Jeep and a snowmobile, during which you will visit historical sites, hot springs, ancient glaciers, roaring waterfalls and mountain lakes steeped in eerie legends.

AVISO: This program involves three days of being driven in 4x4 off-road vehicles called “Super Jeeps”, as well as a snowmobiling tour. Guests with back injuries should not participate as the roads and trails may be quite bumpy.

Día 1

After disembarking the ship in Reykjavik, your group will drive off in 4x4 vehicles. Crafted for uniquely tough conditions, these vehicles are custom-built with up to three transmissions, two steering systems, turbocharged engines, an array of radio equipment, marine-type satellite navigation and the world’s biggest road-legal tires. Only professional drivers, who are often the owners, are allowed to pilot them. Super Jeeps have been used off road to cross Antarctica and traverse the wild Icelandic highlands. They are just as suitable for highway driving.

Your caravan of Super 4x4 vehicles will head towards Þingvellir National Park, a remarkable geological phenomenon and important historical site. Located by Þingvallavatn, the biggest lake in Iceland, Þingvellir is where the world’s oldest democratic parliament was founded in 930 AD.

The beautiful canyon running through the park is the meeting point of two tectonic plates. UNESCO deemed the area a World Heritage site because of its combination of natural phenomena and historical significance.

After Þingvellir, you will drive to the Geysir geothermal area, where you will see abundant hot springs, as well as the famous geyser Strokkur, which erupts every few minutes, shooting a column of hot water high into the air.

After lunch, another extraordinary adventure awaits you at Langjökull glacier, where you will go on a snowmobile safari on Iceland’s second-biggest glacier. Langjökull is an endless source of adventure with plenty of off-road opportunities.

Snowmobiles are great fun and easy to operate. They are two-seated touring sleds with hand warmers and high windshields. The guides will lead the snowmobile adventure into the Icelandic highlands, where you will be treated to majestic views of the Langjökull glacier and its surroundings.

Langjökull has several enormous ice-filled volcanic craters, rimmed in by imposing volcanoes and set in the breathtaking Icelandic interior. The views from the flanks of Langjökull are spectacle. You will also see Eiríksjökull glacier, the highest mountain in west Iceland, dome shaped Hofsjökull glacier in middle of the highlands and the Kerlingafjöll mountain range.

Back in your vehicle, you will next drive to Gullfoss waterfall, which roars through a rugged canyon before plummeting more than 100 feet. The water from the White River falls in two stages, which adds even more drama to its descent. Gullfoss means Golden Waterfall in Icelandic because of the color of the water, which originates from a sediment-rich glacier.

After this day of rugged adventure, your accommodation for the night will be the Land Hotel or similar in the south of Iceland.

AVISO: Guests on Splendor's 7 ago sailing, 2023 will stay at Grimsborgir Hotel as Land Hotel is not available.

Día 2

Following breakfast, depart for the Secret Lagoon where you will learn how Icelanders use geothermal hot water to nourish both their body and soul.

Your first stop is for an optional dip in The Secret Lagoon which is located in the geothermal area near the village of Flúðir. The Secret Lagoon was made in 1891 and is one of the oldest swimming pools in Iceland. The pools natural surroundings and steam rising into the air give the place a magical feeling. Around the lagoon you will find several hot spots and a walking path built so you can have a closer look at the boiling hot springs.

Next you will visit the greenhouse Friðheimar which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace). Four- and five- gaiters are prized. Later you can visit the stable, enjoy a hot drink and meet the riders and their steeds.

Lunch follows in the greenhouse Friðheimar where you will be surrounded by lush tomato plants.

When you arrive back to Reykjavík, check into the Hilton Hotel or similar and spend the reminder of the day as you please. La cena corre por su cuenta.

AVISO: there are change facilities at the Secret Lagoon and towels will be provided.

Día 3

Following breakfast and check out from the hotel, you will meet your Super Jeep driver for another adventure in the volcanic countryside. It will start with a pleasant drive through Hafnarfjörður town, situated on an ancient lava flow. Driving towards Kleifarvatn Lake, you will take an interesting off-road shortcut that will show off the capabilities of your 4x4 vehicle. The tuff stone mountains, reflected in the waters of the lake, lend an eerie stillness to the surroundings that make the folk tales of serpent-like lake monsters sound almost believable.

After pausing for photos, you will continue to the multicolored deposits from the hot springs of Seltún, where you can walk among the boiling mud pools and hissing steam vents. It looks like an otherworldly landscape with bright yellow, red and green steamy soil.

Another stop will be made at photogenic Grænavatn or “green lake,” a crater from a volcanic eruption that filled with bright green water. Grænavatn is one of the most noteworthy phenomena of its kind in Iceland.

You will then continue across breathtaking lava fields with a stop at Strandarkirkja Church prior to lunch of Icelandic lobster at a restaurant by the ocean. Afterwards, you will head off the beaten track by following a trail known as The Thousand Waters, where the road winds through numerous rivers, mud banks and streams.

Return to Reykjavik where the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Día 4

Following breakfast and check-out, you will transfer to the Keflavik Airport based on your flight departure time. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your transfer.

Guests will be permitted to bring 1 suitcase and any carry on’s with them throughout the journey. Excess large pieces will be stored in Reykjavik during the program.

Please make sure to pack accordingly before disembarking the ship as excess luggage will be collected on the pier before you depart in the Super Jeeps.

Any luggage that will be stored will be taken to your hotel in Reykjavik where you will receive it back on Day 3 upon your return to the hotel. Note that the cruise line, the hotel, nor our local ground operator are liable for any lost or missing items. We do not recommend leaving valuables behind.

DÍA 2

Following breakfast and check out at the hotel, you will depart for a full day of touring on the magnificent west coast of Iceland.

Your first stop is at Deildartunguhver, Europe´s most powerful hot spring. It provides 180 l/sec of 100°C hot water.

Most of the water used for central heating in the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes is taken from Deildartunguhver. The hot water pipeline to Akranes is 64 km long, the longest in Iceland and the water is about 78 - 80°C when it reaches Akranes. If you take a shower anywhere within a 65 km radius of the spring, you have already bathed in the hot water from this powerful spring!

Next, get to know little bit about Iceland’s past heroes with a visit to Snorralaug (Snorri’s Sturluson bath) in the small town of Reykholt. Snorri was a poet, historian and politican born into a powerful chieftain family in the 13th century. Although you can no longer bathe here, you will learn how the thermal water from the hot spring Skrifla is led to the basin through a conduit.

Continue your drive to Hraunfossar Lava Falls, a beautiful and unusual natural phenomenal that has been protected since 1987. Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and run as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River.

Next, stop at another waterfall, Barnafoss “Children´s Fall”, a magical site in and of itself, twisting, turning, foaming and churning as it races down a narrow valley, from which you can view it from above. Barnafoss has also been a protected site since 1987. You will then head to lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, another adventure awaits you at the largest of all caves in Iceland, Víðgelmir. It is the size of 148,000 cubic meters, and one of the largest lava caves in the world. It has beautiful ice formations and deep inside there are lava stalactities and stalagmites. Víðgelmir lava cave is considered by specialists to be one of the most remarkable caves on earth.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast and check- out, you will depart for the Golden Circle tour ending in Reykjavík.

Þingvellir is situated by the biggest lake in Iceland called Þingvallavatn, the site of the world`s oldest democratic parliament founded in the year 930. The beautiful canyon running through the park is actually the meeting point of two of the earth`s tectonic plates and the area`s combination of natural phenomena and historical significance make it inseparable from the fabric of Icelandic national life. In 2004 the site of Þingvellir was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

The next stop is Gullfoss Waterfall, which roars through a rugged canyon before plummeting more than 100 feet down. The water from the White River falls in two stages, which adds even more drama to its descent. Gullfoss means Golden Waterfall in Icelandic because of the color of the water, which originates from a sediment-rich glacier.

Drive to Geysir, geothermal area where your will have the opportunity to see hot springs in abundances as well as the famous geyser "Strokkur" that spouts every few minutes, shooting column of piping hot water up to 20m (60 feet). After exploring the highlights on the Golden Circle, the group will enjoy a unique food experience at Friðheimar, a family-owned restaurant.

Followed by lunch guests can opt to take a dip at The Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, located in the geothermal area near the village of Flúðir. The Secret Lagoon was made in 1891 and is one of the oldest swimming pools in Iceland. The pools natural surroundings and steam rising into the air give the place a magical feeling. Around the lagoon you will find several hot spots and a walking path so guests can have a closer look at the boiling hot springs.

AVISO: There are change facilities at the Secret Lagoon and towels will be provided

Your overnight is back at the Hotel Borg or similar and dinner is on your own.

DÍA 4

Pronóstico del tiempo:

The weather in Iceland can be extremely unpredictable however June, July and August are the official summer months. Also note that it’s bright all day and night in the summer months. In June, Iceland celebrates their longest days of the year. And literally, for a few weeks – the sun simply doesn’t set at all.

The average temperature in June is 48°F / 9°C

The average temperature in July is 51°F / 10.7°C

The average temperature in August is 56°F / 13°C

Qué debe traer:

Warm layered clothing such as thermals, fleece and a good jacket, good sturdy shoes, cameras, medicines.

Electricidad:

European standard 220 Volts. Se recomienda traer un adaptador de viaje para dispositivos eléctricos.

Equipaje:

Guests will be able to leave excess luggage at the Borg Hotel. Although staying in the best hotels in the area, porterage service is not a standard service in Icelandic hotels.

View the staggeringly beautiful natural wonders of Iceland – known as the Land of Fire and Ice for its volcanoes and glaciers – and come away with a deep respect for the country’s strict environmental policies.

Nota Especial: Due to limited access at some sites, this program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair.

DÍA 1

After arriving at the Keflavík airport, you will transfer 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.

Aviso: Described as “Modern Scandi Bliss”, your hotel is located in the heart of the city. Although the rooms are comfortable, they are basic. Your room type includes access to the spa.

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.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide and depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn. Visit Öxarárfoss Waterfall.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, give it a try! You can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout. Aviso: The process of baking and extracting the bread from the ground is only done at certain times in the day. Seeing this process 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.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Friðheimar farm which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

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

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will 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.

Discover the natural wonders of southwestern Iceland, a gorgeous landscape of thundering waterfalls, ancient glaciers, geothermal phenomena and unspoiled national parks.

Day 1 - 5 de julio de 2024

After disembarking the ship in Reykjavik, you will depart for a full day tour along the magnificent west coast of Iceland.

Your first stop is at Deildartunguhver, Europe´s most powerful hot spring. It provides 180 l/sec of 100°C hot water.

Most of the water used for central heating in the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes is taken from Deildartunguhver. The hot water pipeline to Akranes is 64 km long, the longest in Iceland and the water is about 78 - 80°C when it reaches Akranes. If you take a shower anywhere within a 65 km radius of the spring, you have already bathed in the hot water from this powerful spring!

Next, get to know little bit about Iceland’s past heroes with a visit to Snorralaug (Snorri’s Sturluson bath) in the small town of Reykholt. Snorri was a poet, historian and politican born into a powerful chieftain family in the 13th century. Although you can no longer bathe here, you will learn how the thermal water from the hot spring Skrifla is led to the basin through a conduit.

Continue your drive to Hraunfossar Lava Falls, a beautiful and unusual natural phenomenal that has been protected since 1987. Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and run as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River.

Next, stop at another waterfall, Barnafoss “Children´s Fall”, a magical site in and of itself, twisting, turning, foaming and churning as it races down a narrow valley, from which you can view it from above. Barnafoss has also been a protected site since 1987. You will then head to lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, another adventure awaits you at the largest of all caves in Iceland, Víðgelmir. It is the size of 148,000 cubic meters, and one of the largest lava caves in the world. It has beautiful ice formations and deep inside there are lava stalactities and stalagmites. Víðgelmir lava cave is considered by specialists to be one of the most remarkable caves on earth.

Finally, you will reach your accommodation for the evening - Hótel Húsafell or similar countryside hotel. A three-course dinner is included.

Day 2 - 6 de julio de 2024

Following breakfast and check- out, you will depart for the Golden Circle tour ending in Reykjavík.

Drive towards Þingvellir National Park, a remarkable geological phenomenon and the most important historical site in Iceland. Þingvellir is situated by the biggest lake in Iceland called Þingvallavatn, the site of the world`s oldest democratic parliament founded in the year 930. The beautiful canyon running through the park is actually the meeting point of two of the earth`s tectonic plates and the area`s combination of natural phenomena and historical significance make it inseparable from the fabric of Icelandic national life. In 2004 the site of Þingvellir was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

The next stop is Gullfoss Waterfall, which roars through a rugged canyon before plummeting more than 100 feet down. The water from the White River falls in two stages, which adds even more drama to its descent. Gullfoss means Golden Waterfall in Icelandic because of the color of the water, which originates from a sediment-rich glacier.

Drive to Geysir, geothermal area where your will have the opportunity to see hot springs in abundances as well as the famous geyser "Strokkur" that spouts every few minutes, shooting column of piping hot water up to 20m (60 feet). After exploring the highlights on the Golden Circle, the group will enjoy a unique food experience at Friðheimar, a family-owned restaurant.

Followed by lunch guests can opt to take a dip at The Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, located in the geothermal area near the village of Flúðir. The Secret Lagoon was made in 1891 and is one of the oldest swimming pools in Iceland. The pools natural surroundings and steam rising into the air give the place a magical feeling. Around the lagoon you will find several hot spots and a walking path so guests can have a closer look at the boiling hot springs.

AVISO: There are change facilities at the Secret Lagoon and towels will be provided

Proceed to your hotel for check in and dinner on your own.

Overnight at Hótel Sand or similar hotel

Day 3 - 7 de julio de 2024

The Reykjanes Peninsula holds many geological wonders – one of the country’s deepest lakes, bubbling and steaming earth and the world-renowned Blue Lagoon.

After breakfast, your journey commences with a pleasant drive through the lively port town of Hafnarfjörður, situated picturesquely on an ancient lava flow. Head towards the renowned Blue Lagoon which is in the middle of a beautiful lava field, seemingly in the middle of nowhere in an otherworldly landscape. The Lagoon’s aquamarine colored water, the steam and the lava landscape surrounding it succeed in creating a unique and memorable atmosphere.

After relaxing in the warm waters of the lagoon you will head across the impressive volcanic plateau of Reykjanes, driving through the bustling fishing village of Grindavík before arriving at Krýsuvík, where the striking landscape has been shaped by volcanic eruptions and violent movements of the earth. In the geothermal field, powerful jets of steam escape from deep below the earth’s crust and the multicolored pools of boiling mud bubble and pop continuously.

On your way back to the city you will drive along the enchanting Kleifarvatn Lake, one of the deepest lakes in Iceland. To stretch your legs, snap a few photographs and enjoy the rugged but scenic landscape.

Return to your hotel where the afternoon and evening are at your leisure and lunch and dinner are on your own.

Day 4 - 8 de julio de 2024

Following breakfast and check-out, you will transfer to the Keflavik Airport based on your flight departure time.

Should you have a late flight, luggage can be stored at the hotel until your transfer time.

The weather in Iceland can be extremely unpredictable however June, July and August are the official summer months. Also note that it’s bright all day and night in the summer months. In June, Iceland celebrates their longest days of the year. And literally, for a few weeks – the sun simply doesn’t set at all.

View the staggeringly beautiful natural wonders of Iceland – known as the Land of Fire and Ice for its volcanoes and glaciers – and come away with a deep respect for the country’s strict environmental policies.

Nota Especial: Due to limited access at some sites, this program is not recommended for guests with extreme walking difficulty or for those who require the use of a wheelchair.

DÍA 1

After arriving at the Keflavík airport, you will transfer 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.

Aviso: Described as “Modern Scandi Bliss”, your hotel is located in the heart of the city. Although the rooms are comfortable, they are basic. Your room type includes complimentary access to the hotel’s spa.

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.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide and depart for Þingvellir National Park, an attraction of great historical, geological and cultural significance. It is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The site is also where Iceland’s Parliament was founded in 930 AD. Thingvellir became Iceland’s first national park in 1930 and is home to Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn. Visit Öxarárfoss Waterfall.

Continuing on, you will head for the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, home to the Geysir hot spring. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt often, it is surrounded by bubbling cauldrons of superheated mud, steaming pools and Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 6-10 minutes. The geothermal activity at this popular destination is much like that happening all across and beneath Iceland that naturally powers countless hot tubs, swimming pools and greenhouses.

That same energy is used to bake bread underground at the aptly named Geothermal Bakery. After learning about the process, give it a try! You can slather on butter and top the bread with a piece of herring or trout. Aviso: The process of baking and extracting the bread from the ground is only done at certain times in the day. Seeing this process 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.

After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Friðheimar farm which offers a horse show called Meeting with the Icelandic Horse. The show gives you an insight into the story of this remarkable horse breed which was brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Scandinavia around 900 AD. The Icelandic horse is small, sturdy breed, famed for its five gaits: in addition to the walk, trot and gallop, Icelandic horses have the tölt (a smooth run) and skeið (flying pace).

Finally, you will see Kerið, a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area that is one of the most visually stunning geological wonders in the country. This vibrant blue gem, which is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, is it one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland because of its unique red rock.

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

DÍA 3

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.

Depending on the weather conditions, you may see Eyjafjallajökull, the site of a volcanic eruption in 2010 that was so enormous that its ash cloud halted Europe’s air traffic for several days.

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 and after lunch you will stroll along the black volcanic sand beach at Reynisfjara. The basalt sea stacks rising out of the water there are absolutely spectacular.

From a distance, view Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull – the 4th largest glacier in Iceland and 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.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will 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.
