Take the unique chance to explore Akureyri’s waters, which offer some of the best whale-watching opportunities in Iceland. From the decks of a fast cruising boat, exclusively for guests of P&O Cruises, you’ll search for the wide variety of marine mammals that regularly comes into the bay, including minke, fin and even blue whales. Your expert captain will take you to the best areas for spotting these beautiful animals. Keep your eyes peeled for the humpback whales often seen in these waters, with their acrobatic displays, along with porpoises and dolphins ‘surfing’ alongside your boat, and a variety of seabirds, including puffins.
