Small-ship expedition specialists Zegrahm Expeditions are offering two special new voyages to Iceland in 2014, with the chance to experience the Land of Fire and Ice in extraordinary close-up.
Since nearly 75% of Iceland can only be reached by ship, travelling aboard the 100-guest, all-suite Island Sky offers an ideal opportunity for personal exploring, with her small size and fleet of Zodiacs allowing guests to get closely acquainted with the sheer cliffs and isolated fjords that larger ships simply can’t access to view the country’s phenomenal bird and marine-life.

Departing on June 13, the 14-day Circumnavigation of
Iceland also allows travellers to explore the country in depth. Highlights include
exploring the fabled Golden Circle, Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss
Waterfall and the Geysir Center; taking an exhilarating snowmobile ride across
Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier; and photographing Iceland’s stunning
landscapes, from bubbling hot springs and glittering glaciers to soaring
volcanoes and plunging waterfalls. This expedition is priced from $10,970 per
person.
Alternatively, Zegrahm’s 20-day Across the Arctic Circle: Iceland &
Svalbard voyage departing June 24, will spend six full days exploring
Iceland before venturing up to Svalbard, crossing the Arctic Circle en route.
Travellers will receive a great introduction to the wonders of Iceland on this cruise and then be treated to more than a week of true Arctic exploration. Seeking out Svalbard’s iconic polar bears will be the main goal while exploring this Norwegian archipelago. Additional highlights include visits to historic research and whaling stations and opportunities to spot thousands of breeding seabirds such as kittiwakes and puffins. This expedition is priced from $13,970 per person.
