Explore East Iceland
& Tórshavn
East Iceland
East Iceland is a captivating region with plenty of interesting sights and experiences to offer. Explore the breathtaking Hengifoss waterfall, Iceland’s second highest, located near Egilsstaðir. Immerse yourself in the unique beauty of Stuðlagil, a basalt canyon in Fljótdalshérað’s Efri-Jökuldalur. Take a leisurely walk in the Hólmanes Nature Reserve, where you can admire the natural wonders of rock formations and diverse bird species. Lastly, experience the ancient Icelandic tradition of geothermal bathing.
Vök
Visit the Vök Baths, where you can soak in the rejuvenating waters of a natural geothermal pool and embrace Iceland’s age-old tradition of geothermal bathing. Located just minutes from the town of Egilsstaðir, Vök Baths overlook the tranquil waters of Lake Urriðavatn.
Mývatn Area
The Mývatn area is a must-see, offering a glimpse into Iceland’s geothermal activity at Námaskarð and the unique lava landscapes of Dimmuborgir. Relax in the milky-blue waters of the Earth Lagoon while taking in the breathtaking surrounding scenery.
Seyðisfjörður
The small town of Seyðisfjörður is famous for its colour and creativity. One of its best-known features is the Rainbow Street in the heart of town, which can best be described as a beautiful community project. Close by are some great restaurants, the local handcraft market and Blóðberg, a design boutique, all worth checking out. For a snack or pizza you should visit the Skaftfell Bistro.
Tórshavn on Foot
Go for a stroll in the oldest part of town, á Reyni, and around Tinganes, which is the seat of the Faroese government. From here you can continue to Skansin, which is a historic fortification. Guðrun & Guðrun, Ullvøruhúsið and Einstakt are great for shopping designer brands in town centre. Østrøm at the waterfront, is also a treasure trove of local designer brands. Next to Østrøm you will find Steinprent Galleries, a lithographic workshop. New works are exhibited here as they come into being. Tórshavn also has a diverse range of cafes and dining options.
Life Aboard Norröna
With seven nights aboard Norröna, there’s plenty of time to enjoy life at sea. Relax in your cabin, enjoy a meal in one of the restaurants or take in the North Atlantic views from the deck.
