Today we’re beginning our silvercruise from Reykjavík to Montreal

Yesterday we walked to the pier and surprisingly Silver Wind was already there ( it was supposed to arrive today, what happened?????)

We had dinner at the food cellar restaurant, amazing experience! We recommend the langoustins [emoji39] delicious!

Looking forward to entering to our Silver Wind today

Great pics. I wonder if there was something wrong with the heating system. Hard to enjoy dinner while freezing.

Just found this thread. We will be following it with interest.

Very interested to learn what you think of the ship. I toured her several years ago and wonder if she looks updated as she was quite tired when we did the tour.

Hi Travelcat, no, the Wind looks wonderful, everything is perfect! She looks as a young lady , I’ll take some pictures for you

It seems that the heating works better now, fortunately we’ll be able to enjoy our first formal night

We were in Reykjavik in 2011 aboard the Azamara Journey from Copenhagen to Dublin. The ship deliberately veered north 40 knots such that all of us could get the certificate for having entered the Arctic Circle.

It was at the height of Iceland's financial crisis and the little (in population) country was literally bankrupt. Now it is back to prosperity with one of the highest per capita incomes.

...could get the certificate for having entered the Arctic Circle.

Who issues this certificate you mention? We've been in the arctic circle twice on SS and have never heard of the certificate before.

Meow was on Az, not SS.

Different lines hand out different “certificates “ ie printed bits of paper, could be Arctic Circle, could be crossing the equator, could be crossing the date line, could be finding the Observation lounge ...

That’s good Jollyjones.

OP: What hotel did you use in Reykjavik, and would you recommend?

Thanks.

Florian was great! We always loved it when he was roaming La Terrazza and keeping our glasses half-full! Glad he's making you just as happy. Feeling sad that we've been kicked off the Wind but thanks for the live posts.

Meow,

It was issued by Azamara, jollyjones is right.

The certificate was issued by Azamara, and it was handed out on the pool deck, where most people gathered to witness the event, Those who did not attend the event were sent copies to their cabins afterwards.
