Raj.K Posted May 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Does anyone have any comments of the cost and best excursions with Costa for the Iceland cruises in the summer (July)? Thank you Edited May 22, 2019 by Raj.K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianCruiser Posted May 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Im going Costa Mediterranea July 24th from Imujen and includes Iceland. But until I go I wont know about the excursions. I'm also interested in feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2014 Posted May 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2019 World is small 🙂 I am also going with Mediterranea for Iceland cruise - starting 22th June from Ijmuiden. You can check available excursions on www.mycosta.com service (you need to log in using your name and booking number). I am just analyzing what I can do by mysfelf and where excursion is better option. Iceland is not cheap country and excursions are also not cheap - in my opinion it is similar level like in Norway. So far I have choosen two excursions: in Akureyeri and for Golden Circle in Reykavik. For other ports I will try do organize something by myself.

Omega1 Posted May 23, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2019 In Akureyri and Reykjavik we rented a car (shared with another couple from our roll call). We had two brilliant days, saw far more than on any cruise ship excursion and at a fraction of the cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianCruiser Posted May 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I cant see any excursions yet as they are loaded last minute for family and friend cruises because technically I'm on standby until 4days prior to embarking but they always find a spare cabin in the end. I reckon it will be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still researching the excursions with Costa as well as other independent companies or individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Iceland seems (excursions) not as cool as the place might be. We are a family of 4 so the costs are HIGH! But there seem to be private tour operators providing private tours for small groups which might be slightly cheaper. I am still looking around. I understand that on board the ship last minute offers may be available, but some popular excursions may be sold out. Please post your experience after the cruise in June. Have a lovely holiday!

greg2014 Posted May 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2019 For 4 persons I think the best solution is renting car and organizing excursion on your own. I am sure it is the cheapest option and you have flexibility, visit what you want, spend in visited places as much time as want etc. I made research of ports of call and also see that in some of them it is also possible to use public transport - but of course schedule is very limited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
