HIGHLIGHTS
A jaw-dropping landscape
Start your expedition cruise in Iceland’s capital,
Reykjavík, filled with art, culture, and history. We start
our circumnavigation of Iceland’s stunning coast by
journeying northward. Stykkishólmur is your doorway to the
breathtaking Snæfellsnes Peninsula National Park. Nicknamed
‘Little Iceland,’ this region is like an Icelandic
‘Greatest Hits’ album. Here, you’ll find
sheer cliffs, peaceful fjords, and volcanic peaks. After that, dive
into Iceland’s maritime history in the tranquil fishing
village of Patreksfjörður
Crossing the Arctic Circle
Akureyri will stand in stark contrast to the other sparsely populated
stops on your expedition. As Iceland’s second city,
you’ll have access to first-rate restaurants and museums.
Then it’s on to Grímsey, probably best known its
proximity to the Arctic Circle, which actually cuts across the
island—the only part of Iceland to do so. You’ll
have the opportunity to skip, step, or do whatever dance
you’d like across the line.
The land of elves
Take in the enchanting beauty of Bakkagerði, the land of elves.
With stunning rhyolite peaks on one side and the majestic
Dyrfjöll Mountain range on the other, its location could not
be more scenic. Finally, you’ll explore
Heimaey—Iceland’s Pompeii, which experienced a
volcano eruption in 1973, Discover this island’s fascinating
story before heading back to Reykjavík, where it all started.

MS Fram (Expedition, 200-guests)
MS Fram is purpose built as an expedition vessel with a higher ice-class, chart drawing tools, ship depth sounding database, extractable forward sounding sonar, iceberg search lights, autonomous tracking system, oversized oil retention system for self-sufficiency, and a full 'expedition tools-deck' equivalent to a car-deck that holds 25 vehicles. We believe that as an explorer you need an 'expedition base-camp' that is comfortable - something that combines 'all oceans capabilities' with safety, flexibility and environmental friendliness. That's Fram - simply the best expedition ship imaginable.
