Reykjavik, Iceland 

Iceland- Iceland's capital and largest city is located on the country's southwest coast at the head of Faxafloi Bay. Settled in 877 A.D., Reykjavik has grown into an important seaport and center of government and education with theatres, museums and observatories. Interestingly, this modern city still chooses to use water from nearby hot springs to heat all of its buildings.

And you’ll find on your cruise to Reykjavik that the culinary scene is eclectic and awesome. The seafood is amazing just about anywhere throughout the city and traditional Nordic salt cod or fish stews are readily available. But there is no shortage of international culinary favorites like French and all sorts of new Nordic fusion-style options as well. Explore the city’s artistic boutiques for authentic Icelandic souvenirs and trinkets, like music boxes, unique clothing, driftwood furniture and fish-skin handbags.
Travel Tips
1
The Skarfabakki cruise terminal is two and a half miles from the city center. Free shuttle buses run from here to the Harpa Concert Hall. There are public buses and taxis, too, as well as hop-on, hop-off bus tours. There’s no Uber in Iceland; if you want to use a ride-hailing service, you will need to download the Hopp app. You can walk to the downtown area in around 45 minutes.
2
The main shopping street in Reykjavik is Laugevegur, where you will find everything from Icelandic fashion to woolen jumpers, skincare products, and Viking-inspired jewelry. It’s quite a long walk from the port, around 50 minutes, so for the best shopping experience, take the free shuttle to the city center. In the port itself, you’ll find a few shops, but don’t limit your shopping experience to this.
3
When traveling in Iceland, you’ll use the króna, the official currency. Many establishments accept euros too, and the vast majority of places accept credit and debit cards, which are preferred to cash. Iceland has strong labor laws, and as such, tipping isn’t expected as workers are paid a good living wage.

Isafjordur, Iceland 

Isafjordur, the largest town in the Westfjords peninsula, is known for its breathtaking landscapes. Here guests can enjoy and wide variety of outdoor activities from biking, hiking, kayaking and horseback riding to whale watching. They can explore the history of the town that started as a trading post in the 16th century with growth triggered in the 19th century by salt fish production which is still the most important industry for the town.
Travel Tips
1
Almost everything in town is located within walking distance of the port, so you won’t need public transportation. If you choose to explore the Westfjords, there are several boat tour operators that will take you to nearby destinations, such as Vigur and the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve.
2
While the town of Isafjordur is small, you’ll find several shops within the Old Town that specialize in local goods, including handmade jewelry, ceramics, glassware, and wool knitted items.
3
The local currency in Isafjordur is the Icelandic krona (ISK). Credit cards are widely accepted in Iceland, even when paying for small amounts, but it’s never a bad idea to carry a little bit of local cash. Tipping is not expected in Iceland, as many bills already include gratuity and service charges in the final total. If you’d like to leave something extra, anything less than 10% of the total amount is acceptable.

Akureyri, Iceland 

Akureyri, Iceland is the country’s second-largest city and one of the country’s most important ports and fishing centers. Affectionately known as the Capital of North Iceland, it has a cool café scene, a growing gourmet movement, and a bustling nightlife that proves this city is more than meets the eye. From fabulous summer festivals fueled by the Midnight Sun, like the Akureyri Summer Arts festival (late June-late August), to some of the best skiing this side of the arctic circle, Akureyri, Iceland is a laid-back Nordic city and a study in contrasts. Soar into the blue sky to discover Grimsey Island, home to only 92 residents and thousands of sea birds. The city’s Botanical Gardens is famed for its collection of high-latitude plants and well worth a visit. Explore the ancient lava formations of Dimmuborgir and the geothermal landscape of bubbling mud and hissing fumaroles at Namafjall Mountain. The Great Fish Day of Dalvik, on the second Saturday in August, where revelers feast for free on the North Atlantic’s bounty is a paradise for seafood lovers.

The city is best known as the gateway to Iceland’s natural wonders – thundering waterfalls, gurgling lava fields, snow-capped mountains, sweeping fjords, and robust folk culture. Whatever you choose, it's sure to be the adventure of a lifetime.
Travel Tips
1

Otherwise, walking in the city center is the commonly chosen method of transportation to see the local sights. Bicycle rentals are available, too.
2
The most popular shopping items people buy when visiting the country are authentic Icelandic knit sweaters. Tax-free shopping is the norm in Iceland, and shops will have a sign in the window that indicates whether or not they’re tax free.

3
When traveling in Iceland on an Akureyri cruise, you’ll use the krona, which is the official currency of Iceland. Many establishments accept the euro as well.

Trek up the hills for a stunning panorama of the area, complete with migrating sea ice. Take an excursion out to the local hot springs. Ahhh, this is the life.
Travel Tips
1
Qaqortoq is compact and walkable; the center is easy to explore on foot. Taxis are available, too, although there are no ride-sharing services. There’s also a bus service. If you book a tour, you’ll most likely travel by boat. Local companies offer helicopter tours in summer for spectacular views down over the fjords and mountains of South Greenland.
2
Look out for locally made jewelry, soapstone carvings, local skincare products, and hats and scarves made from the exquisitely soft musk ox wool. More unusual souvenirs include ulu knives, traditionally used by women, and tupilaks, small carvings made from bone or antler, believed in Greenlandic mythology to ward off evil. You’ll find souvenir stalls dotted around the town and near tourist attractions, although there are no big shops as such.

The official currency of Greenland is the Danish krone (DKK), but you’ll find Euros and U.S. dollars may be accepted in some establishments.

A service charge is typically included in your bill at restaurants.
