Luxury small-ship cruise from Halifax to Iceland: See what others don’t

Imagine stepping aboard a cozy small ship in Halifax, ready to explore the wild, untamed North Atlantic. From vibrant Newfoundland fishing villages to Greenland’s iceberg-filled fjords and Iceland’s volcanic shores, this is a rare luxury expedition designed for travelers who seek quiet adventure and authentic discovery — all without the hassle of long flights or crowded decks.

As a special offer for my clients, early bookings include complimentary balcony upgrades, Wi-Fi packages, and $250 onboard credit. These perks are only available through my private Facebook group, where you’ll find the full itinerary and personal planning advice.

Why choose an expedition cruise over a traditional cruise?

Unlike traditional cruises with crowded decks and constant entertainment, an expedition cruise highlights nature, culture, and meaningful discovery. Days are filled with guided excursions to glaciers, fjords, and volcanic landscapes. Evenings are quiet, with cozy cabins and lounges that invite reflection or conversation.

For anyone who enjoys peaceful exploration, expedition cruising offers a chance to be fully present in some of the most remote corners of the North Atlantic.

Why Halifax is the perfect starting point for your expedition

The iconic Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, a symbol of Atlantic Canada, welcomes travelers as they begin their Halifax-to-Iceland expedition cruise.

Departing from Halifax allows travelers to begin this journey close to home. There is no long flight, no complicated transfers, just immediate immersion into the Atlantic Canadian coast before reaching Greenland and Iceland.

Travelers can imagine what life may have been like centuries ago in these northern landscapes. From historic fishing villages to lighthouses perched on rocky cliffs, the coast offers timeless, undisturbed scenery.

• Lounges and decks with private, crowd-free views of glaciers and fjords

What to expect onboard and ashore

Expedition days balance activity and accessibility. You might walk along fjords, explore volcanic beaches, or take Zodiac excursions to glaciers and wildlife habitats alongside professional naturalists. If you can take several steps to get in to a zodiac, then you’re well suited to take an expedition cruise. Or, if you’re looking for more physical activity - hiking, kayaking etc are available as well.

Evening activities allow travelers to unwind and share stories over locally inspired meals. The small-ship format ensures that every guest can move at their own pace and experience the journey fully.

Physical fitness requirements are minimal. Excursions are designed for gentle exploration, and the ship provides many opportunities to enjoy the views without exertion.
