Voyages to Iceland, the land of fire and ice 

Our small ship expeditions travel to the land of fire and ice, where snow-capped peaks rise above glaciers and active volcanoes rumble. 

With Aurora, expeditioners can venture beyond the beaten path – whether it’s discovering the untouched beauty of Iceland’s remote Westfjords, one of the country’s most pristine and secluded regions, or hiking across Grímsey Island, perched on the edge of the Arctic Circle and teeming with vibrant seabirds. Passengers will enjoy more time ashore, travel in small group sizes, and discover the myths and folklore that bring this captivating land to life.
