    This magical seven-night journey explores the extraordinary landscape—glittering glaciers, towering fjords, spouting geysers and simmering volcanoes—of Iceland, while cruising round trip from Reykjavik aboard the intimate m.s. Le Boreal, a deluxe vessel that will set unprecedented standards in small ship cruising when it launches in 2010. Discover a naturalist’s paradise and encounter Iceland’s treasures up-close—abundant birdlife, world-renowned geological marvels and ancient cultural traditions. Immerse yourself in fascinating Viking heritage and traditional Icelandic life in the old Norse fishing ports of Isafjördur and Grundarfjördur and the charming seaside town of Akureyri. Cross into the Arctic Circle on Grimsey Island. See legendary Godafoss, “Waterfall of the Gods,” and Gullfoss, the “Golden Waterfalls;” majestic Snaefellsjökull glacier, the introductory setting of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth; and the lava fields of Heimaey Island’s “Fire Mountain.” Walk among the picturesque geysers and hot springs in Geysir. Join the special one-night Pre-Cruise Option in Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital city, and/or the unique five-night Greenland Post-Cruise Option to explore more of the North’s geological phenomena and human history.
