Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently onboard Saga Cruises in my cabin. This is the second time I've cruised to Iceland

going on a cruise is very logical. If you want to see Iceland by land, you have to drive around one key road

I think a cruise is a phenomenal way of seeing Iceland

The fact that I've come here for a second time cruising to Iceland probably answers the question!

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider a cruise to avoid the hassle of driving the Ring Road
βœ“Book excursions in advance as they are an additional cost
βœ“Take advantage of onboard enrichment lectures to learn about Iceland

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Additional cost of excursions β€” Bear in mind most cruise lines do not include excursions within your fare
Less immersion with local people β€” Choose excursions that offer cultural immersion and stay overnight in ports like Reykjavik

There are many good things about taking a cruise, and I explore the 6 best pros of cruising to Iceland before looking at the 3 top things you need to consider that may make a land-based trip a better option for you.
