Whether you are an adventurous thrill-seeker, a lover of natural beauty, or someone who enjoys exploring unique towns and cities on your vacations, Iceland is the travel destination that can deliver everything you are looking for, and more!
“One of the best things about Iceland is that there are so many ways to experience it,” explained Expedia Cruises Sudbury Vacation Consultant Alyssa K. “Guided tours and escorted vacations make exploring Iceland easy and convenient. Cruises allow travellers to experience a little bit of everything that Iceland has to offer while combining luxury, comfort and once in a lifetime experiences.”
Iceland’s renowned Golden Circle offers an obvious way to see the highlights, including Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall.
Alyssa expanded, “Along the South Coast, travellers can discover powerful waterfalls, volcanic landscapes and the striking black-sand beach at Reynisfjara. Further east, Vatnajökull National Park showcases glaciers, mountains and the spectacular Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where icebergs float toward the sea.”
Debby M., a Vacation Consultant with Expedia Cruises Windsor had the opportunity to visit Iceland for four magical days in February, 2024. She traveled with Icelandair as part of a package that included flights, accommodations and a rental car.
“While four nights may sound short, we managed to experience an incredible variety of Iceland’s landscapes and attractions!” she exclaimed.
Debby and her travel companions bookended their trip with visits to two of Iceland’s geothermal lagoons, both very different: Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon.
Debby continued, “One of the highlights of our trip was a whale-watching excursion. It was a full-day adventure, beginning before sunrise and involving several hours of driving to reach our departure point. The long day was absolutely worth it. We were fortunate enough to see dozens of killer whale pods, an experience that remains one of the most incredible wildlife encounters I’ve ever had. Seeing these magnificent animals in their natural environment was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!”
Visiting Iceland in the winter allowed Debby the chance to have a tour of Iceland’s famous ice caves, something she described as akin to being on another planet. Iceland boasts an incredible variety of waterfalls, and Debby and her friends made sure to see as many of them as possible in the four days they were there. They also enjoyed an ice bar in Reykjavik, a unique attraction in this beautiful city.
“While four nights may sound short, we managed to experience an incredible variety of Iceland’s landscapes and attractions!” said Debby. She is already planning her next trip to this unique travel destination.
