Isafjordur, Iceland
Additional Information:
- Class: Town
- Activities: If evaluating cruise destinations is like going to the movies, Ísafjörður is a brilliant, atmospheric indie film shot on location at the edge of the world. It lacks the massive, sprawling urban sets of a blockbuster capital city, but it earns its high scores through incredible authenticity and raw, jaw-dropping cinematography. It is a rugged, highly rewarding stop for cruisers who want to experience the true, untamed wilderness of Iceland. - kayak the calm waters of the deep fjord, hike the steep avalanche-barrier trails overlooking the town, or take specialized boat trips out to the completely uninhabited Hornstrandir Nature Reserve for Arctic Fox spotting. - visit the Westfjords Heritage Museum, housed in some of the oldest timber buildings in Iceland, or take a boat to Vigur Island to learn about sustainable eiderdown harvesting. - cozy cafes (bakeries here are renowned) and is incredibly peaceful, it is an isolated, active exploration destination in a frequently cold and windy climate.
