Cruising Iceland
All Inclusive Windstar Cruise:
August 17th to 24, 2026
CRUISE AROUND ICELAND
This August 17–24, 2026, join Elite Travel and Events Inc. aboard Windstar Cruises’ all-suite Star Pride for an extraordinary circumnavigation of Iceland.
This is a journey few travelers will ever take—an intimate voyage around a land of thundering waterfalls, remote fjords, and colorful fishing villages. You’ll meet Iceland’s fiercely independent and creative people, witness whales and seabirds at play, and explore landscapes so dramatic they feel otherworldly.
Sailing with Windstar means traveling aboard a boutique yacht built for discovery. With just a small number of guests, you’ll go far beyond the tourist trail while enjoying every comfort at sea. Imagine stepping ashore to hike volcanic coastlines, soaking in natural hot springs, or gazing at endless midnight-sun skies from your private suite balcony.
Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged so you can relax and fully immerse yourself in Iceland’s beauty and culture. And because only a limited number of cabins are reserved for our Elite World Escape guests, this is a rare opportunity to experience Iceland in true style and comfort.
Secure your place today and get ready for memories that will last a lifetime.
Onboard Windstar Cruise's All-Suite Ship,
Star Pride!
CRUISE ITINERARY
MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 2026
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
The world's most northerly capital enjoys almost 24-hour sunlight in summer, all the better to show off the city’s eclectic architecture and dazzling natural wonders. Soak in the milky Blue Lagoon, visit Guilfoss Waterfall, find Pingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site , or explore the surprisingly vibrant local museum and art scene.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2026
HEIMAEY ISLAND, ICELAND
Witness a world still in transition. Circle Surtsey Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which rose from the sea in the 1960s. Next up, Heimaey, where a volcanic eruption created a modern-day Pompeii in 1973.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2026 TO THURSDAY, AUGUST 20TH, 2026
SEYDISFJORDUR, ICELAND
Seydisfjord is 11 miles of long, narrow, beautiful waterway surrounded by high mountains that ends at the town of Seydisfjordur, known for its old multi-colored wooden buildings and cascading waterfalls even in the town. This is home of the Skalanes Nature Reserve with its wide variety of wildlife including more than 45 bird species. The first high-voltage electricity in Iceland was opened here in 1913 and is still in operation today. A popular hiking path starts at the town center, following the east bank of the Fjardara River that flows through the center of town.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2026
AKUREYRI, ICELAND
Akureyri is an important port and fisheries center especially because of its ice-free harbor so close to the Arctic Circle. It lies at the end of Iceland’s longest fjord, which is 37 miles long, at sits at the base of snowcapped peaks that offer some of Iceland’s best skiing during the winter. Must-sees in Akureyri include the Listagil (art canyon) which is home to many arts and crafts galleries and shops, the beautiful church in the center of town, the botanical garden, and Hafnarstraeti, the main shopping street.This is also the perfect place to ride an Icelandic horse or soak in the sky-blue Myvatn Nature Baths.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 2026
ISAFJORDUR, ICELAND
Small and easily walkable Isafjordur has one of the largest fisheries in Iceland. But the sever decline of the fishing industry has caused Isafjordur to look elsewhere for work. Despite its small size, this town has a school of music and has become a center for alternative music and they host a yearly festival that provides a platform for local musicians, band from around Iceland and the world to perform.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 2026
GRUNDARFJORDUR, ICELAND
Beautiful Grundarfjordur is located between a mountain range and the sea. The road nearby crosses a lava field that is partially warm so snow does not always stick there. The main attraction of the area is Snæfellsjokull National Park full of regal glaciers, lava fields, waterfalls, caves, calderas, and basalt cliffs. The peninsula there received the EARTHCHECK Sustainable Community Award in 2010, the first area in Iceland to win such an award.
MONDAY, AUGUST 24TH, 2026
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
After breakfast depart from the ship after a great 8 days traveling around the breathtakingly beautiful island of Iceland.
All Suite Ship
Serving just 312 guests, Star Pride is the perfect size — small enough to offer unique experiences that set Windstar apart from other cruise lines (like our complimentary Signature Beach Party), yet large enough for you to make plenty of new connections on board — all without ever feeling crowded.
This intimate all-suite yacht features spacious, ocean-view accommodations, each with a walk-in closet and updated double-vanity bathroom. On board, you’ll find a fully equipped fitness center, a spa with complimentary sauna, an infinity pool, two full-service bars, on-deck hot tubs, a water-access marina platform, and so much more.
And did we mention all dining is included? From gourmet bites at our Yacht Club Café to 24-hour room service and even specialty restaurants like Basil + Bamboo, Windstar’s award-winning cuisine is always complimentary, so you can indulge freely and enjoy every moment of your journey.
A day on board your Windstar ship, Star Pride, is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in World Spa by Windstar. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both?
After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or order a cheese plate for your stateroom or suite. After dinner, dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.
As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.
Accommodations & Pricing
Star Pride is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
This all-suite yacht completed renovation as part of the $250 Million Star Plus Initiative to provide more of what our guests love. New public areas, including two new dining venues, a new spa, elevated pool, and fitness area. The yacht also boasts all new bathrooms in every suite and a new category of Star suites, featuring a new layout. With ocean views and at least 277 square feet of suite comfort, Star Pride is the perfect yacht for cruising the Dardanelles and into scenic fjords from the serenity of your suite.
Carrying only 312 guests, Star Pride still tucks into small ports like Sinop and Honfleur or narrow waterways like the Corinth Canal. We can’t wait to welcome you on board for your next 180 degrees from ordinary adventure!

DON'T MISS OUT ON ICELAND!
Simultaneously young and old, hot and cold, Iceland is a mass of contradictions.
Nestled near the Arctic Circle yet warmed by the Gulf Stream, its ports never freeze, yet glaciers drape majestically over volcanos, valleys, fjords, and shorelines. And water – liquid water – is everywhere, falling, bubbling, steaming, spouting, and fueling the country’s 100% renewable energy grid.
Come name one of the many unnamed waterfalls that thunder off cliffs. (Perhaps Thorskeggfoss, Thor’s Beard?) Join the nation’s passionate ice cream lovers for a licorice-and-chocolate cone. And be inspired by a nation of avid readers who believe you really can have it all.
