The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
Our team has crafted this cruise to showcase Iceland’s volcanic landscapes, geothermal activity and fascinating culture while also timing your visit to offer the best chance of seeing some incredible wildlife – all in a shorter-than-usual duration. Venturing to Ísafjörður presents an opportunity to discover the way of life in one of Iceland’s most remote regions. Spurting geysers, thundering waterfalls and puffins are yours to admire from Reykjavík, while Akureyri is well-placed for visiting the mighty Goðafoss Waterfall or whale-watching. You can also search for marine life from Borealis with the help of wildlife charity ORCA, especially while cruising Eyjafjörður, a haven for cetaceans and birds.
