why this journey works
Iceland by sea makes more sense when the route builds toward it. From Southampton, Greencastle covers Ireland's Donegal coast and Stornoway the Outer Hebrides — two stops most itineraries skip — before the crossing lands you in Seyðisfjörður, with Akureyri and Reykjavik to finish. We like ending, not starting, in Iceland: the geothermal chapter gets the trip's final energy, and Explora IV's suites make the North Atlantic sea days part of the appeal.

Port: Seydisfjordur | Arrival Method: tender | Arrival: 09:00 | Departure: 17:00
A 'slow travel' sanctuary, Seyðisfjörður exudes small-town Icelandic charm where panoramas are big and population is pleasantly sparse. Considered the heart of the lesser-travelled Eastfjords, where a heady mix of magnificent mountains shelter a well-preserved village of timber houses. Follow the rainbow-painted road to a steeple-topped blue church then rub shoulders with locals in a café over coffee. Explore a wealth of wildlife in Skálanes Nature Centre where puffins patrol the craggy fjord cliffs. Gush over Gufufoss, where water streams over a stone escarpment, exploding into a vapor mist, giving rise to its Icelandic name. Hike Viking Trail or Waterfall Lane; kayak in the calm lagoon; angle for herring; and experience the unspoilt beauty of this remote region.

Contact us for pricing.
What is a Typical Trip Investment?
To help you plan, many of our sample itineraries include a Typical Trip Investment rather than a fixed price.
Because every Evyssa journey is custom designed, pricing varies based on your travel dates, availability, room category, airfare (when included), exchange rates, and the experiences you choose. Instead of providing a price that may no longer be available when you’re ready to book, we offer a realistic investment range based on what similar trips typically cost.
Our Typical Trip Investment reflects the itinerary shown and is generally based on:
Double occupancy
Luxury accommodations similar to those featured
The private transfers, tours, and experiences described
Typical seasonal pricing at the time the itinerary was created
Standard service levels unless otherwise noted
Final pricing is confirmed only after your travel dates and preferences are finalized and suppliers confirm availability. During the planning process, we’ll present the best available options and pricing for your specific trip, along with any alternatives that may offer greater value.
Our goal is complete transparency—so you’ll always understand what is included, what may affect pricing, and how to make informed decisions before booking.
