AROUND ICELAND
In the dramatic land of fire and ice, your Windstar voyage around Iceland unveils a landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Towering glaciers crown rugged mountains and even dormant volcanoes, while vivid blue lagoons—warmed by geothermal vents beneath the Earth’s crust—invite awe at every turn. Your journey begins in Reykjavík, Iceland’s vibrant capital.
From there, your ship circumnavigates the island, revealing extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Hike across ancient lava fields and shimmering glaciers, venture into lava caves equipped with helmet and flashlight, or soar above icy expanses on a breathtaking flightseeing tour. Zodiac nature excursions bring you thrillingly close to humpback whales, while immersive history tours share tales of Viking legends and heritage.
Basking in the glow of the near 24-hour Midnight Sun, you’ll explore far beyond the usual tourist paths—including an overnight stay in picturesque Seyðisfjörður, known for its colorful chalet-style homes. With a relaxed pace and intimate atmosphere, there’s time to connect with locals, savor Icelandic cuisine, and sample distinctive craft beers—experiencing the true spirit of this remarkable island nation.

Complimentary Windstar Destination Discovery Event – Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church
In rugged, remote East Iceland—where dramatic fjords cradle charming fishing villages—few places are as picturesque as Seyðisfjörður. During our complimentary Destination Discovery Event, Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church, offered on this and select voyages, you’ll enjoy a rare insider’s glimpse into the landmarks and living culture of this intimate Icelandic community.
Tucked between soaring mountains in the East Fjords, Seyðisfjörður flourished in the late 1800s alongside the Norwegian herring trade. Many of its colorful, timber-clad homes were imported from Norway by prosperous merchants and whalers, giving the village its distinctive Scandinavian character. Most iconic of all is the beloved Blue Church.
Painted a striking glacier blue and designed with clean Nordic lines, the Blue Church is one of Iceland’s most recognizable landmarks. Over the years, it was relocated and rebuilt several times—sometimes by design, other times at the mercy of storms and fire—before settling permanently in Seyðisfjörður in 1922. Leading up to its doors, vibrant Rainbow Street creates a storybook setting worthy of legend.
During this exclusive event, you’ll step inside the charming church to discover an interior as captivating as its exterior. In this serene setting, local performers—an East Icelandic singer and guitarist—share the stories and songs of their homeland. Through haunting tales of ghosts, elves, and trolls, and heartfelt ballads of seafarers and village life, you’ll experience the spirit, history, and warmth of authentic Iceland.
Please note: Sagas & Songs at the Blue Church is thoughtfully scheduled to allow ample time to enjoy another shore excursion the same day, so you won’t miss a moment of your Iceland adventure.
