Iceland

Windstar's Around Iceland cruise sets off on a complete circumnavigation of one of the most diverse and dramatic island nations on earth. It is the perfect itinerary to immerse yourself in local culture, explore natural wonders, and relish in the Viking history of Northern Europe. You'll dance along the south rim of the Arctic Circle, crossing it only briefly as you round the north part of Iceland. You'll set foot in tiny villages dating back to the 8th century, you'll hear the sagas of the original Viking settlers, and you'll marvel at the natural wonders that each port offers. All while on the lookout for humpback whales and Atlantic puffins. Once ashore you'll have the chance to meet the Icelandic horse, hike to waterfalls, soak in thermal baths, take a culinary adventure, see black sand beaches, hike on the Berserkjahraun lava field and watch wildlife.
