48 Hours in Reykjavik Before My Arctic Cruise (Worth It?)
Join me in Reykjavik, Iceland as I spend 48 hours exploring this magical Nordic capital before embarking on the epic Viking Neptune Arctic Explorer cruise from Iceland to Norway! 🇮🇸➡️🇳🇴 Travel with me to Morocco https://trovatrip.com/trip/africa/morocco/morocco-with-sarah-errafay-oct-2026 In this vlog, I take you through my ultimate pre-cruise Reykjavik experience — from soaking in geothermal views to wandering colorful streets and enjoying cozy cafés with scenic views of the harbor. Before boarding the ship, I made the most of my time in Iceland’s vibrant capital, including: ✨ Sky Lagoon geothermal spa — a perfect way to relax and reset before cruising the Arctic. ☕ Cute local cafés like IDA and Reykjavík Röst — the best spots for coffee, pastries, and people-watching. 🐋 A chance to squeeze in whale watching or adventurous day tours right from the city’s edge — if you have the time! Then we set sail on the Viking Neptune — a smaller, luxury ship designed for deeper exploration — and begin the first leg of our 15-day Arctic adventure. 🌊❄️ Whether you’re planning a Nordic cruise, Arctic getaway, or just dreaming of Iceland, this guide is packed with must-do stops and practical tips for making the most of your pre-cruise days in Reykjavik.
