7 Nights on Star Pride

In the land of fire and ice, your Windstar voyage around Iceland brings you to an otherwordly landscape. Glaciers top mountains, even volcanos. Startlingly blue lagoons, heated by vents from under the Earth's crust. Your cruise begins in the capital city of Reykjavik. As your ship circumnavigates the island, Iceland cruise excursions reveal once-in-a-lifetime experiences, such as hikes on ice and on lava fields. You may explore lava caves with helmet and flashlight or take a flightseeing tour over icy glacial terrain. Nature tours by Zodiac provide up-close views of humpback whales. History tours include Viking lore. Under the near 24-hour Midnight Sun, your Iceland cruise takes you far beyond the typical tourist hot spots – including an overnight in Seydisfjordur, with its colorful chalet-style homes. The leisurely pace affords time to converse with the locals, sample Icelandic cuisine and craft beer.

Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church

Rugged and remote East Iceland is feathered with fjords and fishing villages, but few are as beautiful as Seydisfjordur. During our complimentary Destination Discovery Event: Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church, offered on this and select other voyages, you’ll get a rare insider’s look at both local landmarks and the culture of this small Icelandic community.

Located in the East Fjords between steep mountains, the settlement grew up in the late 1800s around the Norwegian herring fishery. Many of the colorful old timbered houses were imported from Norway by wealthy merchants and whalers. Perhaps the most remarkable building, though, is the Blue Church.

With clean, Scandinavian lines and a beautiful glacier blue color, the church is one of Iceland’s most recognizable landmarks. It was moved or rebuilt a few times over the years before finding its permanent home in Seydisfjordur in 1922. (Sometimes intentionally and sometimes at the whim of Mother Nature, through storms and fire.) Leading up to the church is the vibrantly colored Rainbow Street presenting a scene worthy of a fairytale.

During your exclusive Destination Discovery Event: Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church, you’ll enter the church to find it’s as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. In this idyllic setting you’ll be treated to an exclusive cultural performance by local entertainers. The singer and guitarist are natives of East Iceland and they’ll entertain you with stories and songs they grew up with. From tales of ghosts, elves and trolls to joyful songs and ballads about lost sailors, you’ll get a feel for the real Iceland and its people.

Please note: This Destination Discovery Event: Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church has been scheduled in a way that will allow you to book and experience another shore excursion on the same day and you will not miss anything.

Grundarfjordur: Wonders of the West

This full sweep of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula takes in its greatest landmarks in a single, well-paced day. The tour begins with a quick stop at Kirkjufell — Iceland's most photographed mountain, its distinctive peak rising straight from the sea — before heading west along the peninsula. A visit to the black church at Búðir is followed by time in Arnarstapi, where an optional coastal walk leads to the towering stone arch and the statue of the legendary guardian Bárður. The striking basalt sea stacks of Lóndrangar offer another otherworldly photo opportunity before the route continues to the Malarrif Visitor Centre, gateway to Snæfellsjökull National Park, and then to Djúpalónssandur — a black pebble beach scattered with the wreckage of a lost trawler and ancient lifting stones once used to test the strength of would-be fishermen. A comfort stop in Hellissandur rounds out the day before the return to port.

Please note: Dress in warm layers and wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Iceland's weather is unpredictable — be prepared for all conditions. Guests who prefer may remain on the coach at any stop.

Discover the natural beauty, history and culture of Iceland's Snæfellsnes Peninsula on this scenic full-day excursion. Departing Grundarfjörður, wind along a dramatic coastline dotted with small fishing villages, with the legendary Snæfellsjökull glacier — immortalized by Jules Verne in Journey to the Centre of the Earth — rising ahead among a landscape of striking mountains and volcanic formations.

The tour begins with a comfort stop at the Hellissandur Visitor Centre before continuing to Djúpalónssandur beach, where a short walk leads to a viewing platform overlooking the black-sand shore and open ocean — and the rusted remains of a Grimsby trawler wrecked here in 1948.

Passing the towering Lóndrangar cliffs, the journey continues to the Malarrif Visitor Centre, followed by the picturesque village of Arnarstapi, known for its lava formations and, in summer, abundant birdlife. Enjoy photo stops at the harbor and the statue of Bárður (with an optional coastal walk), plus time to relax with refreshments at a local restaurant.

The final stop is Búðir, celebrated for its striking black lava fields and one of Iceland's rare golden-sand beaches, before returning to Grundarfjörður.

Grundarfjordur: A Journey to the Center of the Earth

Jules Verne chose Snæfellsjökull as the entrance to his fictional underground world for good reason — and on this tour, you'll understand exactly why. A scenic drive beneath the glacier brings you to the Malarrif Visitor Centre, where a comfort stop allows time to use the facilities before continuing the short distance to Vatnshellir, an 8,000-year-old lava tube that descends deep into the earth in two dramatic sections. Your guide fits the group with helmets and torches before leading the way into the upper cave, where extraordinary lava formations line the walls, and then down a long, narrow staircase into the lower chamber — a hidden world that has sat in total darkness for millennia. At the deepest point, your guide will switch off all the lights, leaving the group in complete and absolute silence. It is, for most people, unlike anything they have experienced above ground.

Please note: We will also make a short restroom stop at the Malarrif Visitor Centre before heading to the cave. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Small and easily walkable Isafjordur has one of the largest fisheries in Iceland. But the sever decline of the fishing industry has caused Isafjordur to look elsewhere for work. Despite its small size, this town has a school of music and has become a center for alternative music and they host a yearly festival that provides a platform for local musicians, band from around Iceland and the world to perform.

Isafjordur: History at Hesteyri

This boat tour goes to the beaches of Hornstrandir, one of the most beautiful and remote areas in Iceland. The abandoned village of Hesteyri can only be reached by boat and is therefore a wonderfully unspoiled land where time has stood still for several decades. Your boat ride will afford spectacular sceneries of the fjord and if the weather is clear you'll catch a glimpse of Drangajökull Glacier and maybe some puffins and arctic terns. On rare occasions whales are seen in the fjords and seals sometime swim alongside the boat. The 70-minute journey will take you to Hesteyri village. This s isolated spit of land is framed with steep cliffs and has two majestic mountains in its background. The area is now a nature reserve, where the arctic fox feels very much at home and you are likely to see some scurrying off. Until the 1950s Hesteyri had a small and scattered community supported by the industry of whaling and later by a herring processing plant. This visit will give you insights into the isolation and hardships the villagers faced that eventually proved too hard to bear. The villagers made the joint decision to abandon their homes and seek a new life elsewhere. A dozen houses are still maintained as summer residences for the former villagers and their descendants. Your guide will take you on an informative walk around this fascinating place. You'll have some refreshments in the former doctor's residence before heading back to Ísafjörður and your ship Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and warm layered clothing.

Isafjordur: The Trolls Throne

Wild and rugged, uncompromising and mesmerizingly beautiful, geologically and volcanically active, a place of thermal springs, mountains, valleys, rivers and waterfalls: the incredible island of Iceland is all of these things. In addition, - as everybody surely knows - the island's craggy mountainsides provide a comfortable home for the world's remaining trolls, those formidable creatures of Norse mythology. According to a legend told by the locals of Ísafjörður, a huge troll once lived in the area and one day, he decided to go for a walk in the fjord. However, soon getting tired from all the exercise, the troll spotted a nice tall mountain high above the town that looked like the perfect spot to have a rest. However, when the thickset troll sat down, his incredible weight squashed part of the mountainside, leaving a large indentation that remains visible to this day: the so-called Troll's Throne, or Naustahvilft, Its proper name. Situated only a few hundred feet up the mountain from the port, the Troll's Throne is a popular hiking destination for tourists and locals alike. Your walking experience up to the bowl-like "throne," which was actually formed by a glacier, will take you over ideal hiking terrain: a good mixture of grass, soil and sheep-trodden paths. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with wonderful views over the port and the picturesque fjord. Your return hike back down the mountain to your ship marks the end of this troll-themed tour. Please note : Wear sturdy walking shoes and warm clothing.
