Small Ship Cruises in Iceland
A small-ship cruise is a wonderful mode of transport for exploration, and there are few better locations to discover from this unique vantage point than Iceland.
During a small-ship cruise in Iceland, you won’t have to worry about the hassle of overland travel and instead, you’ll enjoy a far more personal approach visiting this country’s incredible natural wonders.
Exploring Iceland via a small-ship cruise allows you to reach smaller ports, often inaccessible by large cruise liners, so you get an authentic insight away from the larger flocks of tourists. You’ll also travel onboard with a group of like-minded travellers, all looking to experience Iceland in the same way.
A small-ship cruise in Iceland with Artisan Travel has been carefully crafted with the help of our local partners and Travel Experts to bring you an itinerary that shows off the very best of the ‘Land of fire and ice’. Unsurprisingly, it’s the country’s natural wonders that draw the majority of tourists here, along with the vibrant city of Reykjavik. That’s why we’ve ensured our small-ship cruises in Iceland include both, as well as some extra hidden gems too.

Iceland small-ship exploration
What better way to see the best of Iceland than to do a full circumnavigation tour? During this small-ship exploration cruise, you’ll start and end in Reykjavik so you’ll have the opportunity to spend plenty of time in this small, yet bustling capital city.
There are also all the incredible natural highlights along the way. You’ll see the Snæfellsnes Peninsula which is known as ‘Iceland in miniature’ due to its diverse landscapes. There will be a visit to the spot where the Arctic Circle crosses Iceland, and you’ll enjoy locations that are known for their immense wildlife watching opportunities.
Of course, the beauty of a small-ship cruise is the personal touches, so we’ve left plenty of time for you to add your own bucket list moments. Talk to our Artisan Travel Experts at the time of booking to hear from the long list of experiences waiting to be had during your holiday.
