Very picturesque town, beautiful scenery and lava rock formations, beautiful waterfalls, and geothermal fields with bubbling sulphur cauldrons. Loved the heart-shaped red traffic lights to remind people to be kind!

Wonderful tour of the Golden Circle and fun walking around the town. Hallgrímskirkja Church in town is amazing.

Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland Did not visit port

The winds were too strong to allow the tenders to operate.

Invergordon (Inverness & Loch Ness), Scotland

4 out of 5
Enjoyed seeing Loch Ness, but missed seeing Nessie!

South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland

5 out of 5
Lots to do in Edinburgh. Enjoyed visiting the Royal Yacht Brittania and walking down the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle, but it was super crowded! Could have easily used another day there.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Very convenient to have transport to the airport from the cruise port, but our bus left very late. Luckily, we did not have a tight flight deadline..
