25 Secret Cruise Ports That Are More Magical Than the Destinations
19. The Volcanic Majesty of Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland

Venture beyond Reykjavik to the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago off Iceland's south coast, a collection of dramatic volcanic islands brimming with natural wonders. Heimaey, the only inhabited island, is a testament to human resilience after a volcanic eruption in 1973. Hike up Eldfell volcano for panoramic views, take a boat tour to witness thousands of puffins nesting on the cliffs, and learn about the islands' fascinating geological history. The raw, untamed beauty and the compelling story of human adaptation make Vestmannaeyjar a truly unique and unforgettable port of call.
