Iceland’s Reykjavik and The Golden Circle
Saturday, January 17, 2026, 6pm

Reykjavik is a world capital with a small-town feel. We tour the city's endearing sights, get to know the uniquely Icelandic way of life and take a dip in a thermal pool. Then we side-trip into majestic Icelandic nature: its famous Blue Lagoon; the classic Golden Circle, bubbling geysers, thundering waterfalls, and otherworldly scenery; and Snaefellsnes Peninsula, an "Iceland-in-miniature" loop.

Iceland’s Ring Road

Europe's ultimate road trip is the 800-mile loop around Iceland on Highway 1--the Ring Road. We visit the geothermal hot zone of Lake Myvatn, the rugged Eastfjords, the glacier lagoons of the Southeast, the waterfalls and beaches of the South Coast and side trip to the Westman Islands to see puffins. We also break for insightful folk museums, sod-roofed settlements and a little whale watching.

Nearby, the communist-planned town of Nowa Huta offers a nostalgic spin through the Cold War days, while the sobering concentration camp memorial of Auschwitz-Birkenau honors victims of the Nazis.
