Itinerary

Mark the start of 2025 with a world-class fireworks display over Reykjavik!

Set sail from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour at 11 PM aboard a comfortable luxury vessel for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve. As you cruise into Faxaflói Bay, you’ll get the best views of Reykjavik’s stunning coastline. From the open sea, watch as the city bursts into color, with fireworks lighting up every corner of Iceland’s capital. With a little luck and clear skies, the Northern Lights may add their glow to our celebration!

With a cozy indoor saloon to keep you warm or an open-air deck for clear, unobstructed views, you’ll be in the ideal spot to experience the show. As midnight nears, enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne, and at the stroke of 12, raise a toast to 2025, surrounded by the sparkling lights of Reykjavik!

The boat returns to the harbor about 30 minutes after midnight, dropping you off in the heart of the city to continue your celebration in Reykjavik’s electric atmosphere.

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family. Whale Watching with our partner company Elding has been a favorite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).

Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs. Most of our super jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour.

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.

The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.

Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain the storage of carbon in the soil.
