Akureyri, Iceland From a Cruise Ship. How to See it All in a Day

Watch this video to find out what to do and see in Akureyri, Iceland. It is the second largest city in Iceland, and the capital of the north. It is located in the Eyjafjordur Fjord and boasts a waterfront city with plenty to do in and out of town. Most visitors will head to Lake Myvatn and the @myvatnnaturebaths7746 , the Lava formations and troll hiding places, the active geothermal area, false craters, Godafoss, and the caves with iridescent pools.

In town, you can climb the church steps for views over the fjord, visit the new Forest Lagoon to bathe in warm waters freed by the building of the Akureyri Tunnel. Whale watching, kayaking and hiking make great outdoor activities.

@HollandAmericaLine ships sail to Akureyri throughout the summer. We were there twice on the Nieuw Statendam.

Love your video! We are going to Akureyri this August, Just wondering are there lots of local tours outside the cruise terminal? Thank you.

Thanks for the detailed video. I was considering the whale watching but I did it in Alaska already on a much more comfortable boat 😅

That was an amazing video. Really enjoyed it. The views are fantastic. So did you take the shore excursion from the ship or did you rent a car and tour independently? Was your cruise from Copenhagen round trip?

Hi, May be I missed this part of the video, but did you explain how to do everything in one day? I’m going there in August.
