Adventure of a Lifetime Experiencing travel in the past few months has been like riding a rollercoaster. The excitement of once again being able to travel has been thwarted by the need to produce passenger locator forms and adhere to ever-changing traffic light guidelines.

From the seasoned city break traveller looking for something new, to the adventurous family set on a road trip round, and the hedonistic party lover looking for an ‘Instagrammable’ hotspot – Iceland is a destination for all.

If there’s one upside for those who have reduced their travel in 20/21, it’s that most have increased funds available to spend on future holidays. The expectation of the travel industry is that we’re likely to be more discerning when choosing future holiday locations.

Iceland is also becoming an increasingly popular cruise destination, especially for those who want to reach Iceland’s natural wonders and wildlife. A selection of cruises from Fred.Olsen depart from Liverpool and allows tourists to explore Iceland’s most incredible highlights.

So, who’s ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Welcome to Iceland.

Here’s eight places that should be on your ‘Must Visit’ list for Iceland:

One of Europe’s most magical and unforgettable spots, Iceland is a picture-perfect destination for travellers. Dubbed the land of fire and ice, Iceland is a captivating country where volcanoes, glaciers come together to create a landscape that is like nowhere else on Earth. With friendly locals, spectacular scenery, lots of adventure, and a lively party scene, everyone should experience Iceland at least once in their life.

Reykjavik blends Nordic heritage with a contemporary, distinctly unique style, and this lively city is compact, cosmopolitan and refreshingly different. Its charming downtown of painted timber homes is watched over by the soaring and unforgettable spire of the Hallgrimskirkja church, while oodles of hearty Scandinavian vodka bars and taverns litter the streets.
