Planning a trip to Iceland can be quite challenging. After you've picked the right time of the year and the perfect, your next challenge is packing. Since none of us like to pay extra luggage fees to the airlines and shlep around Iceland with huge suitcases, you have to pack appropriately and smart. It is essential to consider the following three factors: the time of the year you travel, the outdoor activities you are planning to take and your health. We have put together a short guide that will help you prepare for the trip.

If you are interested in cruising to Iceland and Greenland read a short excerpt from a survey conducted on board Ocean Diamond ship in 2017. We interviewed a total of 350 English speaking guests over 11 voyages. The majority of Iceland Procruises reviews are very positive, and the ship management will strive to make them even better in 2018.

Greetings from Iceland! We have just opened sales for a new 2017-2018 season of Iceland Northern Lights Tours. We receive more and more requests for northern lights tours during the summer (May-August) which is a time of the year with up to 24 hours of day light, and therefore Aurora Borealis cannot be seen.

If you're coming to Iceland only for five days, you can still experience the best this country offers, regardless of the time of year. While you do not have quite enough time to encircle the country without rushing the sites, you can still visit the highlights across the South, West, North, and even the Highlands if you know where to go. You can explore its beautiful landscapes, stunning waterfalls, thermal pools and the fascinating history and culture.

You can visit Norway is all year round - depending on what you want to do and see. Summer is ideal for hiking, cycling or cruising. May and September offer colourful landscapes. Springtime is particularly beautiful in the fjords. Winter is brightened  by Northern Lights and becomes magic.
 

Iceland can offer an abundance of experiences to a traveler: beautiful nature, tasty cuisine, and inspiring art and culture. Prepare for your trip, and you will be able to get the most of it. Our short list of essentials has been specially designed to teach you the essentials of Iceland travel.
