Begin your journey from Reykjavík in a comfortable small-group vehicle, heading toward the Golden Circle. Your first stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning landscapes and historical significance. Here, you can see where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet and enjoy scenic walking paths, crystal-clear fissures, and breathtaking views across the rift valley. Your guide will share stories about Iceland’s geology and its rich cultural history.
Next, visit the famous Geysir Geothermal Area, home to the world-renowned Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water high into the air. Explore bubbling hot springs and steaming vents while learning from your guide about Iceland’s geothermal energy and volcanic activity. This is a perfect spot for photos and experiencing Iceland’s raw natural power up close.
From Geysir, continue to Gullfoss, the iconic “Golden Falls.” Feel the mist on your face as the powerful waterfall cascades into the canyon below. Take time to walk along the paths and viewing platforms, capturing different perspectives of this dramatic natural wonder. Your guide will provide insights into the history and geology of the falls, enhancing your appreciation of this spectacular site.
Before leaving the Golden Circle, stop at Kerið, a striking volcanic crater with vivid red slopes surrounding a deep blue lake. Walk along the rim or down to the crater floor to admire the colors and textures created by centuries of volcanic activity. This short stop offers excellent photo opportunities and a chance to experience Iceland’s volcanic landscape up close.
After completing the Golden Circle, head to the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region shaped by volcanic activity and geothermal forces. Explore recent lava fields, steaming vents, and iconic landmarks like Reykjanes Lighthouse. Your guide will explain the peninsula’s unique geology, including its ongoing volcanic developments and fascinating natural features, providing context for this extraordinary landscape.
Finally, arrive at a specially chosen eclipse viewing site on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Here, enjoy a light picnic with snacks and nibbles while waiting for the celestial event. Receive high-quality eclipse glasses to safely observe the total solar eclipse, and listen to expert guidance on how to photograph and enjoy the phenomenon. Watch as daylight fades and darkness descends during totality — a moment you’ll never forget. For standard bookings, celebrate with a toast after totality. Cruise passengers on AIDAbella or AIDAluna will experience the full eclipse, but the toast will be skipped to ensure timely return to their ship.
