island landscapes, creating the youngest mountain in the world and the new “Pompeii” of the north. A walk around the crater rewards with spectacular views of volcanic landscapes, the sea and often puffins. Your ship also sails past one of the world’s newest islands, Surtsey Island, created by an eruption in 1963, and named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meals BLD
7. ICELAND’S “GOLDEN CIRCLE” Embark on a tour of the “Golden Circle,” encompassing the country’s “Big Three” landmark sights. Visit Thingvellir National Park – named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also Iceland’s most important historic landmark as it is where the Vikings established the world’s first democratic parliament, the Alping, in 930 AD. View magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, dropping down 96 feet in two roaring falls and arched with rainbows. Continue on to the spouting hot springs of Geysir, where many of its geysers erupt with clockwork precision in impressive flumes. Schedule permitting, stop at a power plant to learn how Iceland’s natural resources are put to work before arriving back at the dock for your last night aboard ship. Meals BLD
8. BLUE LAGOON/DISEMBARK/JOURNEY HOME After disembarking your ship this morning, a parade of natural wonders awaits on a drive from the town of Hafnarfjördur, nestled atop a lava flow, and enchanting Kleifarvatn Lake to the geothermal fields of Krysuvik-Solfataras, the volcanic plateau of Reykjanes and the incomparable Blue Lagoon. Schedule permitting, you’ll be able to take a dip in the healing waters of the lagoon before joining us for a farewell lunch in the Lava Restaurant. Visit the Viking Museum and the Viking ship, Islendingur, a fully seaworthy replica of an ancient 70-crew Viking vessel, en route to the airport. Tour ends: 2:00 PM at Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport. You should allow 3 hours for your flight check-in at the airport. Meals BL
