Iceland

Iceland is an island shaped by extremes, where fire and ice have forged some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. Beyond the country's busiest tourist hubs, our Iceland expedition cruises explore quieter coasts and communities shaped by generations of local tradition, while many voyages continue across the wider North Atlantic to Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Scotland.

Along the way, veteran expedition teams and local Icelanders reveal the region’s landscapes and living traditions—whether you’re crossing the Arctic Circle at Grímsey, navigating soaring fjords or meeting the families who have stewarded Iceland’s puffin and eider colonies for generations. A National Geographic Photographer joins every departure and the exclusive National Geographic Explorers-in-Training program for kids and teens is available on select Iceland cruises, ensuring travelers of every generation experience this remarkable corner of the world through the spirit of exploration.
