PORTS OF CALL
Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik is a capital city that feels more like a creative, welcoming town, set against a backdrop of dramatic, raw nature. Its compact, walkable core makes it an excellent port to explore on foot, offering a fascinating blend of contemporary design, Viking history, and quirky charm.
The skyline is dominated by the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church; ascending its tower provides a panoramic view of the city’s colorful rooftops and the surrounding bay. A short walk leads to the waterfront, where the stunning, glass-paneled Harpa Concert Hall glimmers beside the Old Harbour. This area is the departure point for whale-watching excursions and is lined with outstanding seafood restaurants. For a dose of history, the National Museum of Iceland offers a comprehensive look at the nation's past, from settlement to the present day.
With a single day, a choice must be made. You can either immerse yourself in the city's culture or venture into Iceland's legendary landscapes. The famed Golden Circle—a circuit including the tectonic plates at Þingvellir National Park, the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, and the erupting Geysir geothermal area—is a full-day commitment. It's an unforgettable experience but will consume nearly all your time ashore.
A more manageable alternative is a visit to the Blue Lagoon for a soak in its geothermal, silica-rich waters. It’s about a 50-minute drive from the port, and pre-booking is absolutely essential, often weeks or months in advance.
We recommend choosing one path for your day: either fully explore the vibrant streets, shops, and museums of Reykjavik, or dedicate your time to one of the major natural attractions. Trying to do both will likely feel rushed and incomplete.
Heimaey, Iceland
Seydisfjordur, Iceland
The arrival into Seydisfjordur is an experience in itself, a slow passage down a 10-mile-long fjord flanked by steep mountainsides streaked with waterfalls. The town that awaits is one of Iceland's most picturesque, a compact collection of colorful, 19th-century Norwegian-style wooden buildings nestled at the water's edge. The primary activity here is a simple, delightful walk through the village center.
The undeniable focal point is the iconic rainbow-painted path leading to the pale blue Seyðisfjarðarkirkja church, a scene of gentle charm. For its small size, Seydisfjordur has a surprisingly vibrant artistic soul, nurtured by a community of creatives and anchored by the Skaftfell Center for Visual Art. You'll find small galleries and workshops that lend a bohemian character to the historic streets.
For a dose of raw nature, an easy and accessible walk from town leads to the beautiful Gufufoss waterfall, a powerful cascade just off the main road. Alternatively, simply strolling the fjord's edge offers tranquility and the chance to spot seals. Seydisfjordur isn't a place of grand monuments; its profound appeal lies in its preserved character, creative spirit, and serene, dramatic setting.

Rotterdam, Holland
Rotterdam, Europe's largest port, is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. Where many European cities charm with centuries-old architecture, Rotterdam captivates with its bold, innovative spirit, having been almost entirely rebuilt after WWII. This dynamic metropolis is an open-air gallery of modern architectural marvels. Your day can begin with a stroll across the iconic Erasmus Bridge, nicknamed "The Swan," for stunning skyline views. Nearby, you'll find the surreal Cube Houses designed by Piet Blom; you can even step inside one to experience this unique living concept. A few steps away is the magnificent Markthal, an architectural wonder with a horseshoe-shaped arch filled with apartments, covering a bustling market of gourmet food stalls and restaurants—perfect for a culturally rich lunch.
For a taste of the city's pre-war past, take a short trip to the historic Delfshaven district. This charming pocket of Old Holland, with its gabled houses and canal-side windmills, miraculously survived the bombardments and offers a poignant contrast to the city's modern core. Art and maritime history enthusiasts will appreciate the world-class institutions in the Museum Park, such as the Kunsthal, or the comprehensive Maritime Museum, which details the city's deep connection to the sea. For a unique perspective, hop on a water taxi to zip beneath the city's famous bridges. Rotterdam offers a refreshing and intellectually stimulating day ashore, celebrating human creativity and the enduring power of renewal.
