Circling Iceland on the Viking Mars: A Natural Treasures Voyage
August 7–17, 2026 There’s something fitting about starting a trip to Iceland with a long flight over open water — by the time we touched down from Atlanta on August 7th, the endless grey of the North Atlantic had already primed us for ten days of dramatic coastline, black sand, and glacier-fed fjords. Reykjavik, On…
Photographing Reykjavik: Rainbows, Basalt, and a City Built for the Camera
Reykjavik surprised me. I’d come to Iceland chasing waterfalls and glaciers, but the capital turned out to be its own kind of photographic playground — a city of candy-colored rooftops, one unmistakable spire, and a concert hall that behaves less like a building and more like a living kaleidoscope.

The Golden Circle: Craters, Geysers, a Rift Between Continents, and Hidden Gems
If the South Coast had shown us Iceland’s wild, watery side, the Golden Circle promised something different — a day of geology, history, and a few delightful surprises tucked between the big-name stops.

The Town at the End of the Fjord: A Day in Ísafjörður
Our final day on the cruise brought us to Ísafjörður — another gorgeous day of weather and, once again, a town that felt like the quintessential slice of Iceland. Right near the harbor, a flower-and-branch arch spelling out “ISAFJÖRÐUR” frames the view straight down the fjord toward the mountains — a popular photo stop for…
