Norway & Iceland Cruises

Lands of fire and ice.

Immerse yourself in true beauty on a Norway and Iceland cruise with Princess®. Sail past mountains, fjords and forest-lined valleys. Discover artifacts and architecture of medieval times. Or learn about legends from locals, whose stories have been passed down from generations before them. Between the rugged terrains and the Viking history, these lands echo the promise of adventure.

Featured Norway & Iceland Cruise Ports

Discover some of the world-renowned destinations that await you on an Norway & Iceland cruise with Princess.

• Grundarfjordur

Known to be the most pleasant town in Iceland, Akureyri is teeming with tranquility and beauty. On an Iceland cruise, take a dip in the Myvatn nature baths, known for their restorative powers. Or stroll through the Botanical Gardens, where you can admire over 2,000 species of flora from around the world. Experience the best of both fire and ice when you visit Akureyri with Princess.

Encounter beauty, history and culture when you visit Bergen on your Norway cruise. Marvel at the grandeur of Hardangerfjord, the third largest fjord in the world, on a scenic day tour. Or step into a medieval assembly room at the Schøtstuene Museum, and walk down Bryggen Wharf — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that preserves wooden buildings from the days of the Hanseatic League.

On a cruise to Iceland, unveil Grundarfjordur’s heroic past. Climb the "Holy Mountain," which once housed a temple dedicated to Thor. Tour the 4,000-year old lava fields of Berserkergata, and live through the stories of Iceland’s sagas — tales of migration, war, religion and mythology. Or spend the day birdwatching in the fishing village of Arnarstapi, where gulls, fulmars and kittiwakes reside.

Reykjavik is the gateway to natural wonders. On an Iceland cruise, warm up with a dip in the city’s Blue Lagoon, and cool down on a glacier walk across jagged ice formations. Ride across the countryside by horseback, soar over volcanic craters during a helicopter ride or snorkel through the waters of Thingvellir National Park. See the beauty of Iceland’s capital for yourself when you sail with Princess.

Stavanger is a true icon of Norway. As the nation’s capital of cuisine, learn how to smoke and can sardines, and then taste them yourself. Attend a musical performance in the chapel of Utstein Kloster, a 12th-century abbey that was once home to Augustine monks. Or visit Old Stavanger during your Norway cruise, and enjoy an architectural tour through Europe’s largest collection of wooden buildings.

As one of the best places to see the Northern Lights, Tromsø is teeming with wonders from the skies above to the fjords below. On a Norway cruise, learn about the city’s history of Arctic hunting at the Polar Museum. Visit the Husky Wilderness Camp to meet championship dogs and hear about their racing careers. Or ride a cable car to the peak of Mt. Storsteinen for sweeping views of the city.

Iceland, Norway and Greenland cruises

Arctic cruises offer a wonderful blend of experiences; from the awe-inspiring blue icebergs of Qaqortoq, walking in the footsteps of Erik the Red from the village of Narsarsuaq, Norway's Northern Fjords and the volcanic beauty of Iceland. Any passion for scenery, natural beauty and wildlife is easily satiated in breath-taking landscapes witnessed on an Arctic cruise, and the opportunity to catch a glimpse of whales, seals or a multitude of birdlife adds to the Arctic’s distinct personality. 

You will also have the opportunity to experience two extraordinary natural phenomena unique to the Arctic region - continuous days beneath the enigmatic midnight sun, or a dazzling encounter with the elusive Northern Lights.

Making the most of every single day

Husky Sledding

A husky-sledding tour is the ultimate Arctic experience. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Nordic landscapes and snow covered pine forests as these wonderful dogs guide you through the arctic wilderness during our winter cruises, as you go in search of the Northern Lights. You’ll even have the chance to spend time with the huskies and learn how they are trained to adapt to the wintry landscapes. 

Whale Watching

The coasts of Northern Norway and Iceland are popular hunting grounds for a plethora of whale species, including humpback and orca whales; which can often be seen from the decks of your cruise ship. Our on board programme includes talks and advice from marine conservationists from ORCA and OWE, who will provide guidance on the best way to spot these magnificent creatures, both from your ship and ashore.

Magical Northern Lights

The Aurora Borealis is one of Mother Nature’s most magical natural phenomena – a colourful display that illuminates the skies above with ribbons of green, pink and purple. For those wanting to get closer to nature, join us on a tour with a local guide into the mountains for the best chances of seeing the lights with little light pollution, as well as learningabout the myths, history, and science behind the Northern Lights.

Scenic Discoveries

Enjoy scenic cruising past some of the Arctic's most impressive sights, seen from the unique perspective of your ship, such as Torghatten or the Seven Sisters Mountain range in Northern Norway, the tranquil waters of Prins Christiansund, or the iceberg-filled Qooroq Ice Fjord in Greenland.

The Sky at Sea

There's very little in the natural world more beautiful than a clear night sky, sunrise or sunset seen from the sea. On our fantastic Northern Lights cruises our on board teams will be out on deck helping guests spot Mother Nature’s most imitable light show. During the summer months, join us out on deck to experience the celestial event of the midnight sun, when the sun never sets once you have crossed the Artic Circle. 

" Northern lights made a star appearance on numerous occasions which made for a wonderful experience". Mr Young, In Search of the Northern Lights - Feefo Indpendent Review

Cruises to Arctic Norway, Greenland & Iceland

Home to some of the most incredible scenery on Earth, these regions make for rewarding exploration. With their surreal natural wonders and unique cultures, Iceland and Greenland are perfect for those with a taste for adventure, while Norway’s labyrinthine fjords are made for smaller ship cruising. With our Norwegian heritage and knowledge of these waters, we know the most scenic routes to take, away from the usual cruising route, offering outstanding scenic cruising of destinations above the Arctic Circle.

WHY YOU NEED TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

The Northern Lights truly are nature's most impressive light show. Here's a description of what they are, and how to visit them in comfort with Fred. Olsen Cruises.

Explore the Land of Ice and Fire where snow-capped peaks rise above glaciers and active volcanoes rumble. Walk along a black sand beach strewn with glittering bergy bits and discover geysers and fumaroles and bubbling mud pools, or explore spectacular fjords and impressive waterfalls, in one of the most geologically active places on earth. Our specialist naturalists and historians will reveal the Iceland below the surface - a land rich in wildlife, culture and fascinating human history.

Luxury Cruises to Iceland

On a cruise to Iceland, experience the island’s magnificent natural wonders. Tumbling waterfalls, otherworldly lava fields, vast glaciers, and plunging fjords are breathtaking sights just waiting to be explored.

Dip into the mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon. Discover Viking history at the National Museum of Iceland, or snap a photo in front of the Sun Voyager, a modern sculpture inspired by a Viking ship. In Akureyri, sports and alpine trails at Hlíðarfjall are huge draws for travelers. See the “Waterfall of the Gods,” Godafoss, or take a relaxing mud bath at Lake Myvatn. On one of our Europe cruises that visit Iceland, you’ll discover that there really is nowhere on Earth that compares.

Iceland Cruise Highlights

Natural hot springs.

Enjoy the healing properties of Iceland’s famous hot springs. There are springs of all sizes, from Kvika Footbath, a tiny pool near the Grótta Lighthouse perfect for dipping your feet in, to the Blue Lagoon, Iceland’s most famous geothermal pool. Here, restorative, mineral-filled waters, billowing steam, and therapeutic mud transport you to what feels like another world entirely.

Beautiful Fjords

Iceland is renowned for its breathtaking fjords, carved over the millennia by glaciers. In summer, ribbon-like waterfalls tumble over the rocks, and the hills are ablaze with the color of purple lupines. Hvalfjörður is a popular fjord just a short drive from Reykjavik, opening out to black-sand beaches and hikes with sweeping views. Explore the uninhabited islands along Borgarfjordur, or visit Siglufjordur, a colorful fishing village nestled alongside its namesake fjord.

Viking History

Head to the National Museum of Iceland in Reykjavik and discover the secrets of Viking settlement on the island. Admire the Sun Voyager, a futuristic sculpture that celebrates the significance of the Vikings in Icelandic history. At the Akureyri Museum, you can explore local history from the Viking era all the way up to modern settlement. Before taking in the geological wonders of Lake Myvatn, head to the visitor center to understand the storied lore and myths surrounding Akureyri.

Featured Iceland Cruise Ports

Reykjavik, iceland.

Cool, compact Reykjavik is one of Europe’s most exciting capitals. This cultural hub is filled with innovative museums, striking architecture, and fine dining. Admire the futuristic architecture of the Harpa Concert Hall and the Hallgrímskirkja church, and browse the shops for chunky Nordic knitwear and striking jewelry. The famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is easily accessible, while the dramatic scenery of the Golden Circle, including the plunging Gullfoss waterfall, is a popular day trip.

Akureyri, Iceland

Located at the head of a deep fjord, Akureyri is the gateway to the wild natural beauty of northern Iceland. Visit Godafoss to marvel at the magnitude of the thundering, 40-foot-tall waterfall. Experience an authentic Icelandic mud bath at Lake Myvatn, or join a whale-watching cruise to spot humpback and minke whales and orcas. A day trip to Siglufjordur is a chance to visit the quirky but wonderfully informative Herring Era Museum, one of Iceland’s best cultural attractions.

Isafjordur, Iceland

Framed by a dramatically sweeping U-shaped valley, sleepy Isafjordur is the gateway to the starkly beautiful Westfjords. Visit the Dynjandi bridal veil waterfall, which is more than 300 feet tall. Kayak the glassy waters of the fjord, or spend time at a traditional turf farm to learn about rural life in the “Land of Ice and Fire”. At the nearby fishing village of Sudavik, you can make your own chocolate at Saett & Salt, and learn about Iceland’s only native land mammal at the Arctic Fox Center.
