Icelandic Adventure - July 20 - July 28, 2021
Despite the COVID epidemic it has been only fifteen months since our last cruise. Priscilla and I cruised the Panama Canal and Costa Rica in March 2020. We are now embarking on a cruise on the same small cruise ship we traveled on in Panama. The ship is the French Ponant line Le Dumont D’urville. We were able to reserve the same upgraded cabin we enjoyed previously.
We found that Iceland was the first European country to open up to tourism after COVID. We immediately booked with Tauck and were fortunate to get a cabin. Flying directly from Chicago to Reykjavik will be a 6.5 hour flight with a four hour time change. We will depart at 7:30 pm and arrive at 6:30 am the next day. Our arrival is one day prior to the tour so we can get over the jet lag. We will stay at the Hilton Reykjavik Nordica.
