Information about Iceland

Iceland is an island, a European country, located midway between North America and mainland Europe. It lies just below the Arctic Circle between 64 and 66 degrees north. The capital is Reykjavik. It is the northernmost capital in the world and is located exactly halfway between New York and Moscow.

Iceland is one of the most volcanically and geologically active inhabited places in the world. Putting that vulcanism to good use to generate steam and hot water, Iceland is almost entirely self-sufficient in clean, renewable energy.

From the low-rise, old-world charm of the capital Reykjavic to the remarkable sights of geysers, glaciers and waterfalls on the famous “Golden Circle Tour”, visitors consistently rate Iceland one of the “must-see” destinations to visit on any North Atlantic expedition. Whether you start your journey here, take a shore excursion, or cruise along the beautiful coastline, Iceland is a destination not to be missed.

It was really a great trip. It was My first cruise, and that went better than expected. Great booking and pre-trip service by Polar Tours, specially Celia! At the Ocean Albatros, the experience was just amazing: from the little greenlandic villages and 4 days of northern lights at the top deck, to the zodiac cruise in the middle of huge icebergs, and also an ESPECTACULAR Expedition team, lead by Mark, an incredible guy. Food at the ship was good, the room was super comfortable, the captain is also an incredible fellow, deeply passioned about his profession. Long story short, a trip never to forget, really amazing and safe adventures. Really recommend to everyone. I wasn't sure how it was gonna go when I booked, due to the lack of reviews (even on Youtube), but I can now say it is worth it. You have my true review here and I'll also make one on youtube!

From start to finish, their organization was impeccable, ensuring every moment aboard our sturdy ship, with its exceptional hotel team, was filled with excitement and wonder. My favorite moment was witnessing polar bears and walruses against the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes. I have to highlight, the expedition team's deep insights into the region's history and culture enriched our journey profoundly. Their passion for adventure, respect for wildlife, and commitment to climate awareness made the experience unforgettable. I can't wait to embark on another adventure with them. Highly recommended for anyone craving an enriching Arctic experience aboard a ship that felt like home.
