Iceland ProCruises Catalogue 2020

20 NORTHERN LIGHTS AND WHALES Experience Iceland on Land and Sea Get to know the island of “Fire and Ice” in autumn on this special journey that gives the opportunity to witness Northern Lights and different species of whales. Look forward to a 3-day-cruise with shore excursions and interesting lectures with local experts, before an exciting bus tour along the Northwest coast and back to Reykjavik follows. This voyage is also possible in reverse order (Tour 2). DAY 1 | REYKJAVIK Our optional “Air & Ground” - package provides a convenient arrival. Use your leisure time in Reykjavik in order to get to know the unique charm of the city. Your “floating hotel” awaits you. The OCEAN DIAMOND docks in the old harbor, located in the heart of town, which is a 5 minute walk to the inner city. In the evening the ship sets course for the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Tonight you may already have a first opportunity to see the Northern Lights! DAY 2 | STYKKISHOLMUR In the morning the OCEAN DIAMOND reaches the small village of Stykkisholmur, the starting point for our exploration of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Snae- fellsnes is also known as “Iceland in miniature” since this region contains nearly all different kind of Icelandic scenery. A dark clear sky might offer great opportunities for the Northern Lights. DAY 3 | ISAFJORDUR Today‘s destination is the idyllic town of Isafjordur, capital of the Westfjords region. This secluded peninsula is connected to the rest of Iceland by only a narrow strip of land. Even by Icelandic standards, the area can be described as unusually isolated. The landscape is characterized by mesas and dramatic fjords that cut deep into the landscape. Mystical Northern Lights Whale fin Photo: PeterNeumann
