The company offers a full-range of cruise services including turnaround operations, expedition services, pre- and post-tours, and overland experiences. It operates in all Icelandic ports which, in 2019, included 23 ports and 412 calls.

Expedition cruising has been a recent noticeable trend: “Through years of experience Iceland Travel cruise staff have become experts in expedition cruising offering assistance with itinerary planning, excursions and community engagement to name a few,” she says.

Turnarounds in Reykjavik is also a recent trend. Next summer Iceland Travel is scheduled to operate the largest turnaround for Iceland next summer for Pullmantur’s Monarch with 2,700 passengers. Seabourn, Viking Cruises and the smaller expedition ships also have multiple turnarounds in Reykjavik every year. Pre- and post-tours have become increasingly popular.
