Iceland Charter Itinerary

Iceland Itinerary

Iceland Yacht Charter
A week around Iceland, the land of fire and ice, where glaciers, volcanoes and bird cliffs meet a wild North Atlantic coast. This is expedition cruising through raw, elemental scenery, remote fjords and puffin colonies, whale-rich seas and volcanic islands born of eruption. Expect the world’s northernmost capital and empty Westfjords, millions of seabirds and breaching whales, a voyage to a landscape unlike any other.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Reykjavik

Step aboard in Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital, a colourful, creative city set between mountains and sea. Explore its galleries and geothermal pools, then set sail along the wild coast.
Day 2

Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Cruise to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, often called Iceland in miniature, crowned by the glacier-topped volcano that inspired Jules Verne. Anchor beneath the ice cap, explore the lava shore, and take in the scenery.
Day 3

Breidafjordur & Flatey

Sail into Breidafjordur, a vast bay scattered with countless islands and skerries alive with birdlife. Anchor off the tiny, timeless island of Flatey, wander its single lane, and watch the puffins.
Day 4

The Westfjords

Cruise into the remote and spectacular Westfjords, a wilderness of sheer-sided fjords, tumbling waterfalls and few roads. Anchor beneath the cliffs, hike to a cascade, and savour the deep isolation.
Day 5

Latrabjarg Bird Cliffs

Sail to the immense Latrabjarg cliffs, Europe’s largest bird cliff, where millions of puffins, razorbills and guillemots nest along fourteen kilometres of rock. Watch the spectacle from the water.
Day 6

Whale Coast

Spend the day in waters rich with marine life, watching for humpback, minke and even blue whales that feed in the cold, productive seas. Keep watch for spouts, then anchor in a sheltered fjord.
Day 7

Vestmannaeyjar

The voyage ends at the Vestmannaeyjar, the Westman Islands off the south coast, a dramatic volcanic archipelago born of fire. Cruise the new lava shore, visit the puffin colonies, and toast a week in Iceland.
