Cruising Iceland (The Icelandic): Akureyri to Reykjavik
Overview
Highlights
- Icelandic tourism is booming, but it’s still mostly land-based around the famous - yet well-worn - golden circle route. we’re the only adventure company offering this unique coastal itinerary.
- While bigger cruise liners have to moor out at sea and commute into shore via tender, we’ll drop anchor in the middle of port towns like akranes or isafjodur. you can hop on or off the boat as you please.
- Sail directly beneath the incredible latrarbag cliffs, a sheer 450 metre wall of volcanic rock, home to millions of puffins and northern gannets.
- Many land-bound iceland itineraries never make it to the stunning west fjordlands, and rarely to the fishing villages of the north coast. you’ll meet native herring fisherman and get a feel for the local way of life.

Tour Operator
It’s been more than 36 years since our first small group set out to discover Nepal. It’s this heritage and our reputation that keeps travellers coming back time and time again.
We appeal to the well-travelled, discerning traveller. The one who chooses value over price, and wants to immerse themselves in a place instead of just ticking landmarks off a bucket list. The type of person who would rather stay in a family run B&B built in a 16th century Venetian convent than a forgettable hotel. We’re for travellers who want inclusions along the way instead of fiddling around for loose change.
Almost 20 years ago, Peregrine led an industry revolution by solely employing locally born leaders. This innovative approach gives our travellers a deeper insight into the countries they visit. Doorways are opened and a true understanding of the place is fostered.
At Peregrine, we travel in intimate groups and take the time to get under the skin of a destination. Of course we all want to see the Taj Mahal in India. But imagine then heading to a remote Rajasthani village and learning about rural life while in the company of locals. Seeing the famous sites is a must, but it’s often the memory of wandering through a small village or sharing dinner with a local family that will leave a lasting impact.
We promise to share our knowledge and expertise with you, and ensure you will come home with stories you will tell for years to come.
