Welcome to Siglufjörður and the boomtown-like atmosphere of this once-bustling historical herring town.
Walk with your guide to the award-winning Herring Era Museum. As part of your visit, you'll watch a fun and energetic live performance of the Herring Salt Show — a total blast from the past. You will also learn how the "herring girls" used to work.
Sample some traditional rye bread with local herring. Not your thing? After some Icelandic schnapps, it might be!
Learn all about the local history and culture of this wonderful settlement before you walk back to the ship — this is indeed a memorable slice of Iceland.
Please note: Tour is conducted entirely on foot and requires walking. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and steps. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Bring a backpack to stow any layers you shed.
