A 12-day expedition circumnavigating Islanda<\/span><\/strong> aboard Ultramarin<\/span><\/strong>, exploring waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic coasts, black sand beaches, puffin cliffs, Arctic Circle waters, Zodiac<\/span><\/strong> landings, kayaking, helicopter perspectives and Icelandic culinary traditions.<\/em><\/p>\n Islanda<\/span><\/strong> is a country shaped by collision: fire and ice, lava and glacier, Atlantic weather and volcanic earth.<\/p>\n This 12-day circumnavigation offers a complete expedition perspective on the island, travelling roundtrip from Reykjavik aboard Ultramarin<\/span><\/strong>. Rather than treating Islanda<\/span><\/strong> as a sequence of overland highlights, the journey follows the coastline by small polar ship, combining Zodiac<\/span><\/strong> exploration, shore landings, hiking, kayaking, cultural encounters and, where conditions allow, aerial perspectives.<\/p>\n The result is an Icelandic journey seen from multiple angles: sea cliffs alive with birds, black volcanic beaches, immense waterfalls, glacial landscapes, remote villages, geothermal character and the dramatic meeting of the North Atlantic with one of the world\u2019s most geologically active islands.<\/p>\n Pentru C\u0103l\u0103torii exclusive de elit\u0103<\/span><\/strong> clients, this is the Islanda<\/span><\/strong> itinerary for travellers who want more than a classic land tour: a full island circuit with expedition access, expert interpretation and the comfort of a refined polar vessel.<\/p>\n Expedition Name:<\/strong> Islanda<\/span><\/strong> Circumnavigation: Mountains, Volcanoes and Waterfalls<\/p>\n Region:<\/strong> Islanda<\/span><\/strong>, Westman Islands, East Fjords, North Islanda<\/span><\/strong>, West Fjords, Arctic Circle waters and Reykjavik<\/p>\n Durata:<\/strong> 12 days<\/p>\n Start \/ End<\/p>\n Reykjavik, Islanda<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Ship:<\/strong> Ultramarin<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Ship Capacity:<\/strong> Up to 199 guests<\/p>\n Personalul \u0219i echipajul:<\/strong> 140 staff and crew<\/p>\n Clasa de ghea\u021b\u0103:<\/strong> PC6<\/p>\n Core Experience:<\/strong> Complete Islanda<\/span><\/strong> circumnavigation, waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic cliffs, black sand beaches, puffins, whales, northern seabirds, Zodiac<\/span><\/strong> cruising, kayaking, shore exploration, helicopter-supported perspectives, expert lectures and Icelandic culinary experiences.<\/p>\n Available on request, according to departure date, suite category, cabin availability and any special offers valid at the time of proposal or reservation.<\/p>\n Departure Availability<\/p>\n A selected departure operates in summer 2027.

Instead of moving from hotel to hotel, guests remain within a single expedition environment while the island unfolds around them.<\/p>\n This journey is ideal for travellers who want Islanda<\/span><\/strong>\u2019s drama without reducing it to a checklist: waterfalls, volcanoes, glaciers, birds, coastal communities, Atlantic weather and the deeper geological intelligence of the island.<\/p>\nPrezentare general\u0103 a c\u0103l\u0103toriei<\/h3>\n
