Sixteen Days from Reykjavik to Greenland's National Parks

This is a 16-day cruise and land journey that begins in Reykjavik and reaches into Greenland's national parks. It is a fully guided trip in English, operated by Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours. The itinerary includes stops at Reykjavik and Vik í Mýrdal, though the full route spans far beyond Iceland's south coast. The price starts at 20,325 USD. This is a long, substantial expedition rather than a quick taste of the region, and it suits travellers who want both the comforts of a cruise and the structure of a guided land programme. You will spend over two weeks moving between Iceland and Greenland, with the operator handling the guiding throughout. The journey is priced at the upper end of what this catalogue offers for trips of two weeks or longer, so it is aimed at those who have already decided that this specific combination of destinations is worth the investment.

What the Price Covers

The operator states that food is explicitly included in the price. That means your meals are covered as part of the journey, which matters on a 16-day trip where you are moving between remote locations. The guiding is fully guided and conducted in English, so you are not paying separately for a guide or arranging one yourself. No fees apply at any of the places on the itinerary. None of the stops charges admission or parking, so there are no gate costs to budget for on top of the tour price. The operator does not list any optional extras for sale, and there is no free cancellation on this booking. That is worth noting before you commit, since most listings in this catalogue do offer free cancellation. Here, you are committing to the full amount without that safety net. The price you see is the starting point, and the operator does not break down what might be added on the day beyond the food and guiding already covered.

What the Lack of Ratings Means

This tour has no rating at all. There are no customer scores behind it, which is different from being rated poorly. It simply means no verified reviews are on record yet. In a category of 28 tours lasting two weeks or longer, this one sits at rank 22 when ordered by strength of evidence. That rank is not about quality; it reflects that the listing has no ratings to weigh. By price, it is the 27th most expensive of the 28, placing it among the most costly 4 percent of its group. The range in this category runs from 1,394 USD to 24,765 USD, so at 20,325 USD this is firmly at the top end. You are paying for a premium product without the reassurance of other travellers' experiences to confirm it is worth it. That is the honest picture: unevidenced, not bad. If you are the kind of traveller who needs social proof before spending this much, you may want to wait for reviews or look at alternatives with ratings.

When the Season Works for This Length

The journey runs 16 days, which is long enough that you will cross several weeks of weather. Reykjavik's climate chart shows highs reaching only 3 degrees in January and February, rising slowly through spring to 10 degrees in May. The warmest months are July and August, with highs of 15 and 14 degrees respectively. For a trip of this length that includes Greenland, you want the window where the sea is navigable and the land is accessible. That points to the summer months, roughly June through August, when Reykjavik sees highs between 13 and 15 degrees and lows stay above 7 degrees. Earlier in the year, you are looking at temperatures near freezing, which makes long days outdoors harder. The trip's duration means you cannot pick a single good weather day; you need a sustained period of reasonable conditions. The midnight sun in June and July also gives you more daylight hours for the land portions of the journey, which matters when you are covering ground over more than two weeks.

What Happens on the Ground

The journey begins in Reykjavik, a city of roughly 140,000 people within a capital region of about 253,000. The city covers 244 square kilometres and was granted its charter on 18 August 1786. From there, the itinerary includes Vik í Mýrdal, a stop on Iceland's south coast. At the sights themselves, you are with a fully guided group, so the guide is responsible for navigation and logistics. The places you visit are not staffed attractions with desks or counters; they are natural sites where the landscape is the draw. Weather can close roads in Iceland, and a guide who turns back is doing the job properly. The paths at waterfalls stay wet all year and freeze in winter, so sturdy footwear is part of the practical preparation even though the operator does not list it as a requirement. The cruise element means you return to the ship for meals and rest, which is how the journey sustains itself over 16 days.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This tour suits travellers who want a comprehensive, guided expedition covering both Iceland and Greenland without arranging logistics themselves. The fully guided format in English, with food included, means you are looked after from start to finish. It is for those who are comfortable spending over 20,000 USD and who prefer a structured itinerary over independent travel. If you are not sure you want to commit that much money without any customer reviews to guide you, the comparable options in this catalogue are shorter and cheaper. Iceland Complete runs 10 days from 4,564 USD with a 5.0 rating from three reviews. The Great Round Tour lasts 13 days from 6,138 USD with a 5.0 rating from one review. Glaciers and Aurora Tour is 10 days from 4,297 USD with a 5.0 rating from two reviews, and Iceland Highlights is 10 days from 4,180 USD with no rating. If your interest is mainly Iceland rather than Greenland, or if you want a shorter commitment, those alternatives give you a lower price point and, in three cases, some evidence from past travellers. This 16-day journey is for someone who has decided on the full experience and is willing to be the first to review it.
