The best way to explore Iceland is to circumnavigate the island on a Windstar Cruise. Learn more here.

Iceland Highlights:

• Searching for puffins on Heimaey Island (Westman Islands) in the south.
• Absorbing the remote beauty in Skalanes Nature Reserve and crossing rivers in a big-wheeled truck in Seydisfjordur.
• Hiking to Hengifoss Waterfall (third tallest).
• Exploring lunar landscapes (steaming mud pots, thermal energy, pseudo craters, volcanic lava landscapes) and Godafoss Waterfall outside Akureyri.
• And the adventures continued, witnessing over 30 humpback whales up close on a 12-person rib boat off the Westfjords in Isafjordur.
• Slurping down fresh scallops and sea urchin right from the net dragged in back of the boat off Grundarfjordur.

The best way to travel with a parent is on a smaller luxury cruise like Windstar. Here’s why:

Unpack your bags once. No need to lug suitcases from one destination to the next.

If your parent has a bad leg or is slower moving in their 70s or 80s, they can move around the ship easily by taking the elevator on Windstar. Book a room near the elevator.

It’s a great way to make memories and bond with a parent over new exciting experiences.

Your parent can make new friends of similar age on the ship.

There are 5+ excursion options offered in each port so you can choose activities based on your fitness level.

Windstar offers separate beds.
