Iceland's Natural Beauty: A Traveler's Guide

Iceland is the ideal location for you, whether you're seeking for adventure or just want to take in some of the most stunning scenery on earth.
How to Travel to Iceland:
There are plenty of land options and escorted tours if you would like to spend more than two days in Iceland. You can also consider a cruise (seasonal) that will stop for a day or so in Iceland along it's itinerary. We recently were onboard Norwegian Prima for the Transatlantic voyage from Southampton to New York and spent 2 days in Iceland. We opted for a private tour for our group during the day, and we sailed out in the evening to try and catch the Northern Lights. It was an amazing place to visit, and we will definitely go back!
When to Travel:
The best time to visit Iceland depends on what you want to see and do, although it can be visited all year long. The greatest time to explore the nation's picturesque landscapes is during the summer months of June through August because they are the warmest and have the longest daylight hours. The Northern Lights may be viewed and Iceland's distinctive winter sports can be enjoyed during the winter, making it a fantastic time to travel there.
Moving About:
Due to Iceland's well-developed road system, renting a car is a common and practical means of getting across the nation. There are many tour options available if you don't feel comfortable driving, including bus tours and guided day trips. Additionally, Iceland boasts an efficient public transportation system that includes aircraft and buses that connect the nation's outlying regions with the capital city of Reykjavik.
What to See and Do:
There are many interesting and unusual things to see and do in Iceland. Among the most popular attractions are:
The Northern Lights: Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, and the best time to see them is from September to April.
