Main trip
Day 1 : Reykjavik, Iceland
There's a good reason that Iceland is considered a photographer's dream destination. Its terrain is visually stunning, offering views of lava flows, hot springs, unspoiled nature – and colorful, fascinating cities like Reykjavik. The world's most northerly capital brings together quaint villages, exciting museums, a flourishing music scene and restaurants that rival Europe's finest. If you are not joining us for our pre-cruise tour, meet up with us aboard the ship.
Day 2 : Isafjordur, Iceland
We head directly to the Dynjandi Waterfall. This waterfall is a majestic icon of the Westfjords. It is a series of seven waterfalls falling like a bridal veil from the edge of a cliff. On our way to the Dynjandi Waterfall, we enjoy the breathtaking coastal vistas of jagged fjords, towering cliffs and lush rolling valleys. Upon arrival at the waterfall, we have some time to take a short hike to the base of the falls. As we make our way back to the port, we stop at a charming sheep farm along the Dyrafjordur coastline. Here we learn about Iceland's rural life and agricultural history. We see up close the well-preserved turf houses and barns. We enjoy a traditional Icelandic treat before continuing our journey to our ship. Price - $300
Day 3 : Akureyri, Iceland
We spend time in the Lake Mývatn area. Some consider this the most beautiful place in Iceland. Highlights of today include the Goðafoss Waterfall, Skútustaðagígar Pseudo Craters, Dimmuborgir Lava Formations and Earth Lagoon Mývatn. Godafoss plays an important role in Icelandic history and the introduction of Christianity. We see the warm underground river in Grjótagjá Rift. This is where the rift between the Eurasian and American Continents is visible. We visit the Mt. Krafla volcano area.

We enjoy a presentation on the making of cheese and the traditional wooden clogs. We have time in the picturesque city of Volendam where you can find food and opportunities for shopping. We go to the small village of Marken and feel the authentic island atmosphere. Experience a very small part of Amsterdam as we stroll along, but look out for the bicyclists. Pedestrians do not have the right of way here. Our guide shares the history of Amsterdam as we walk to our canal boat. We board the boat and enjoy a guided tour of the canals of Amsterdam. We learn all about the unique houseboats and other watercraft as well as the unique aspects of the architecture of the buildings found along the waterway. Following our boat ride we head back to our cruise ship. Price - $150 per person
Day 10 : Brussels/Bruges (Zeebrugge), Belgium

This medieval city has been declared UNESCO World Heritage sites. You may wish to enjoy a boat ride on the city's narrow canals and learn more about the history of the area. Belgian waffles and chocolate are available here. You are responsible for any costs incurred today, including the many pounds of Belgian chocolate you buy. Although it is hard to leave, we catch the shuttle bus back to the port.
Day 11 : London, England
Optional 2-night post-cruise tour of London is available. We attend church with a local congregation.
Norwegian Cruise Line · Norwegian Prima
The Norwegian Prima anchors NCL's newest class of ship around Ocean Boulevard — a walkway that wraps the full deck, ringed with lounges, seating, and an open view of the water on every side. Dining ranges from Cagney's Steakhouse and Le Bistro to Onda by Scarpetta and the Indulge Food Hall's many stations. Shows fill the three-story Prima Theater, and the Mandara Spa adds a two-story waterfall, salt rooms, and a thermal suite for quieter afternoons. With fewer guests than the mega-ships, it stays easy to keep our group together and find room for good conversation.
