For cruise passengers, Reykjavik is a unique destination - a city of contrasts, where local people enjoy the lifestyle of a high-tech Scandinavian city in a pollution-free environment with spectacular countryside on their doorstep. By tradition, Reykjavik is a popular summer destination, offering long hours of daylight and an ideal base for excursions to see geysers, glaciers and other natural wonders. This makes it a perfect call for cruise ships during the summer season, which nowadays extends from mid May to mid September.
Reykjavik is known internationally for its culture, music and nightlife - complemented by the health-enhancing properties of its spas and thermal pools.
