Creator's Key Takeaways

We had the best time. We had so much fun. We got soaking wet.

It was super impressive and a lot of people were in the pool. a lot for it being that cold and that windy.

Don't get fermented shark. Please don't do that to anybody around you. It's awful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear hiking boots for waterfall excursions, not sneakers.
Book tender times early, especially if you have an excursion.
Try the basil gimlet drink in Iceland.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting off the ship at tender portsDon't worry if you don't get a time right away; you will get off, and excursions include tender.
Cold weather on Scarlet NightRent a cabana for a front-row spot, but dress very warmly.

YouTube Video Description

In Part 2 we finally made it to Iceland and wow, this was the highlight of the cruise. After a relaxing sea day and a quick stop in Lerwick, Shetland Islands, we sailed into Akureyri, where the excursions were some of the best we’ve ever done. Think rushing down river rapids, visiting Icelandic ponies, and standing in front of incredible waterfalls! From there, we headed to Ísafjörður, a small town tucked between dramatic fjords that instantly felt like stepping into another world. Between the scenery, the fresh air, and the charm of the town itself, this stop completely surprised us! Just like Part 1, we’re talking through what was worth it, what wasn’t, and what we’d do differently if we went back. If you’ve ever thought about booking a Virgin Voyages Northern Europe cruise, this episode will give you a feel for what exploring Iceland by ship is like! Stick around for Part 3, where we wrap it all up with Reykjavík, our final thoughts, and what we’d change next time! Shop Virgin Voyages essentials!
