Cruise Highlights:
During your call on Isafjordur, Iceland, visit Önundarfjörður Pier on the way to Dynjandi. It’s one of those natural landmarks everyone should see when they’re in the area. Local lore tells a story of supernatural beings living in each of the falls (there are seven total) and it’s easy to believe once you set eyes on the hypnotizing free fall—the largest in the Westfjords. Located 50 minutes south of Ísafjörður, there’s one pit stop you’ll must make on your way to the waterfall: the white sand beach at Önundarfjörður Pier. Iceland may be known for its swaths of black sand, but this nook looks like it belongs in a much warmer climate. More often than not, you’ll have the pier and surrounding beach to yourself, offering a rare opportunity to gaze at the mountains and bay without any distractions. When you arrive at Dynjandi, make the most of the multiple viewing platforms (it’s a 30-minute journey from the parking lot to the top at a stroller’s pace) and be sure to wear a water-resistant layer if it’s windy; more often than not, a fine mist will find its way to you.
Itinerary Highlights:
Reykjavik, Iceland
Discover this fascinating land where the forces of nature hold sway as you visit the modern capital with its thermally heated outdoor swimming pool, remarkable botanic gardens and folk museum. Explore the starkly beautiful countryside of lava formations, glaciers and incredible waterfalls and the site where the first parliament sat in 930 A.D.
Grundarfjordur, Iceland
This Icelandic fishing community is set amidst the spectacular scenery of a dramatic bay embraced by soaring cliffs and plunging waterfalls. The town’s most famous landmark is the striking Kirkjufell, an isolated mountain that juts out of the sea. Stroll along the surrounding beaches and hiking trails, enjoy a boat trip to observe the local seals and puffins, or take a guided walk to Kirkjufell Waterfall.
Isafjordur, Iceland
Although remotely located in northwest Iceland and surrounded by ruggedly beautiful fjords, Isafjordur is surprisingly cosmopolitan. The capital of the Westfjords has long been a cultured oasis in the midst of this haunting beauty, fueled by the rewards of being one of Iceland's largest fishing centers.
Narsaq, Greenland
One of the most stunning agricultural locales in Greenland, Narsaq offers a rich blend of Norse history and gorgeous South Greenlandic landscapes. The valleys, mountains and surrounding fjord system offer great hiking trails and other opportunities for outdoor exploration.
Paamiut (Frederikshab), Greenland
This colorful fishing village is rich with Inuit culture and a strong connection to the sea. Learn about the town’s history and culture on a guided tour revealing archaeological discoveries that indicate the area was inhabited as far back as 1500 BC. Explore the stunning coastline on a ferry and perhaps catch a glimpse of the minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales and orcas that swim in pods in the surrounding waters.
Nuuk, Greenland
The largest city in Greenland, Nuuk is the cultural and economic center of the country. Explore the picturesque colonial harbor with its quaint old buildings and the newly renovated market where locals sell their daily catch. Greenland’s history comes alive in the National Museum, and its culture thrives in the Nuuk Museum of Art and the Katuaq Cultural Centre.
St. Anthony Nfld, Canada
The quaint, unassuming fishing village of St. Anthony lies near one of history’s most significant archeological finds, L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Park. In this UNESCO World Heritage site, an excavation revealed what could very well be the first European settlement in North America. Browse carefully preserved 11th-century Norse artifacts, explore recreated sod-roofed buildings and learn from engaging Viking-era reenactors.
Corner Brook, Canada
Start by taking in the breathtaking view from the monument honoring Captain James Cook, the first to map the area in 1767. More history awaits you in the Corner Brook Museum and its marine artifacts, forestry exhibits and collections from aboriginal people.
Sept-Iles, Canada
Once a quaint fishing village, Sept-Îles rose to prominence during the World War II boom, becoming one of Canada’s premier ports. Graced with majestic scenery, beautiful beaches and an attractive archipelago just offshore, Sept-Îles provides plentiful opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
Saguenay, Canada
Head to La Baie and tour the Musée du Fjord, admire the frescoes covering every nook and corner of barber and painter Arthur Villeneuve’s home, tour a goat farm or travel the Craftsman Road to see artisans in their element creating cheeses, glass-blowing and soap-making.
Quebec City, Canada
Surrounded by several miles of granite walls dating back hundreds of years, Quebec City’s fabulous Old Town exudes European character, exemplified in the iconic Château Frontenac. Another architectural gem is the fascinating Musée de la Civilisation, a treasure trove of items recreating the French-speaking city’s early days.
French-speaking, thoroughly romantic and exquisitely cultured, Montreal definitely warrants a pre- or post-cruise stay. The Old Port is a hub of entertainment, while the Museum of Fine Arts is revered for its collection of more than 30,000 objects. For a respite from the vibrant city, stroll the Montreal Botanical Garden, a draw since 1931.
