Our walking holidays in Iceland are unlike any other in our programme. We take you around this extraordinary island by cruise ship, sailing to a new location each day and going ashore to walk through landscapes that feel like they belong to another planet entirely. It's a format that suits Iceland perfectly: the most dramatic and remote locations become reachable, and the ship becomes a warm, comfortable base from which to explore. Travel with a small group of fellow walkers and let our expert guides lead you into a country shaped by fire, ice and time.
Discover Iceland’s dramatic landscapes on a cruise combining scenic sailing with guided walks through volcanic terrain, waterfalls and remote fjords. From Reykjavík’s Golden Circle to the untouched Westfjords and peaceful eastern valleys, this journey blends natural wonders, wildlife and immersive exploration.
Iceland has a way of making you feel very small in the best possible way. Walking across ancient lava fields, standing beside Gullfoss as it thunders into the canyon below, or picking your way through the steam vents of a geothermal valley, you're reminded that this island is still being made. Our expert local guides bring Iceland's remarkable geology to life around you, explaining how its position on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge creates the volcanic drama that makes every walk here feel genuinely unlike anywhere else.
From Reykjavik we'll take you through the legendary Golden Circle, past the geysers of Haukadalur and the great rift valley of Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly pull apart beneath your feet. Further afield, the remote Westfjords and untouched eastern valleys offer a quieter, wilder Iceland that few visitors ever reach on foot. We reach them by sea, arriving each morning somewhere new.
Iceland is also a destination that changes entirely with the season. Walk in summer under the midnight sun, when the light never quite fades and the hours stretch out in a way that feels almost dreamlike. Return in autumn and the Northern Lights become part of the experience too, filling the sky above the ship in the small hours. Our small groups make it all feel intimate rather than overwhelming, sharing the kind of moments that are hard to put into words and easy to remember for the rest of your life.
