Make your own way to the pier at Reykjavik Old Harbor. Put on your provided coveralls to stave off the Icelandic winter chill, and step aboard your vessel for your New Year’s Eve cruise.
Find a spot in the cozy indoor saloon or on the open-air deck. Then, enjoy the views over the glittering lights of Iceland’s capital as your boat cruises out into Faxaflói Bay.
Purchase drinks from the onboard bar and snap photos as your boat bobs around the bay, enjoying stellar views of Reykjavik’s main landmarks. Admire the floodlit Harpa — the contemporary concert hall — and pass islands such as Viðey and Engey as you listen to onboard commentary.
Receive a complimentary glass of Champagne as midnight approaches and, as the clock hits 12, raise a toast to the New Year. Head out on deck and sip on your bubbles as Reykjavik’s fireworks erupt over the city. While there's no official midnight display, the city’s residents set off their own fireworks after midnight, creating an extravaganza of color and noise, all best seen from the sea.
After 1.5 hours on the water, arrive back at the Old Harbor where your cruise ends.
