WATERFALLS
Godafoss and Gullfoss are two of the
most famous waterfalls but you'll also
see plenty of others. In the port of
ĺsafjördur we took an included Viking
tour to a nearby waterfall for a sip of the
ice cold water that's believed to grant
everyone who drinks it 10 years of good
luck. On another afternoon, we watched
a waterfall across from where the ship
was docked grow bigger and bigger as
the snow in the mountains melted under
the summer sun and ice cold water
tumbled down the cliff.

WILDLIFE GALORE
On a small ship like Viking Star, we were able to dock right in the heart of town and
slip into small bays and coves along the way. Watching puffins nesting in the nearby
cliffs and zooming past us from the comfort of our balcony was an unexpected trip
highlight made possible by Iceland's deep harbours and our captain's skill. Just when
we thought our trip couldn't possibly get any better, a whale waved its tail in the air in
front of the Explorers' Lounge during the cocktail hour on the last night, providing a
grand finale for seven wildlife packed days.
