Set sail aboard Fred. Olsen’s elegant Balmoral and embark on an unforgettable journey to Iceland, a land of dramatic landscapes, geothermal wonders, and charming coastal towns. This carefully crafted itinerary takes you to some of Iceland’s most breathtaking destinations, from the small fishing town of Akureyri to the spectacular fjords of Ísafjörður, all while enjoying Balmoral’s warm, welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service.
  • Your first stop will be Reykjavik, Iceland’s modern capital. Take a dip in the famous Blue Lagoon or stroll along the colourful streets lined with unique shops and cafés. You’ll also get to experience a Golden Circle tour, where you’ll visit three remarkable locations, including Thingvellir National Park and the cascading Gullfoss waterfall.

  • In Ísafjörður, nestled in the heart of the Westfjords, explore the untouched wilderness on guided hikes or kayak trips through calm waters. This charming town is surrounded by towering mountains and serene fjords, making it the perfect place to slow down and embrace nature.

  • You’ll also visit Akureyri, known as the ‘gateway to the north’. Don’t miss the chance to visit the nearby Goðafoss waterfall, often called the ‘Waterfall of the Gods,’ or take a whale-watching tour for an unforgettable encounter. Don’t forget to try traditional Icelandic dishes made with local ingredients like Arctic char and skyr.

  • After a day of exploring, return to the comfort of Balmoral. Indulge in exquisite dining at one of the ship’s restaurants, unwind in the spa, or enjoy live entertainment in the evening. With its intimate size and attentive crew, Balmoral ensures every moment on board is as memorable as your time ashore.
