36 Hours in Iceland Before Our Cruise | Reykjavik, Diamond Beach, & Glaciers | Celebrity Silhouette
Welcome to our Iceland travel vlog! In this video, we're spending 36 hours in Reykjavik before embarking on our 7-night Iceland Intensive cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette. We kick off our very first visit to Iceland by sharing our travel details, including flying with Icelandair and navigating the best ways to get from Keflavík Airport directly into downtown Reykjavik. We check into Hotel Eyja, give a full room tour, and head out to explore the city while sampling iconic local foods along the way like authentic Icelandic hotdogs and delicious fresh pastries. Next up, we embark on a massive 14.5-hour pre-cruise day trip along Iceland's famous Ring Road. We booked this epic excursion through Viator to explore Southern Iceland's most breathtaking natural wonders, including the majestic Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, the famous black sand coastline around Vík, the spectacular Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and the shimmering ice sitting right on Diamond Beach. Stick around until the end of the video where we give our honest review of the Viator excursion, sharing our pros and cons to help you decide if it’s worth booking for your own Iceland pre-cruise itinerary.
