If you don't get answers here you might want to try the Holland America cruise critic site and ask there. They have a ship going to those two places every year on their 'voyage of the vikings'.

gardenbunny Posted May 4, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2019 We are from Atlanta GA and will be doing this cruise. We are looking at Viator.com for tours in Iceland. We use this company when we are staying extra days before and after cruises. Just used them in April in Cape Town on Princess 2019 World Cruise since we were in port 3 days. Excellent tours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if there’s a curfew for returning to the QM2 overnight? I think my husband would love to take an evening tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resistk Posted August 5, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted August 5, 2019 We opted for the Lobster Lunch excursion which included the volcanic region. It was a nice trip, you can get up close to the bubbling mud pots, smell the funes, and if you are spry, clamber up a steep hill for a better look. The lobsters by the way are actually langostinos. Second day, QM2 cut short its stay, so we visited downtown Reykjavik. Iceland was great, the weather was good, we saw alot and will likely return. Cornerbrook wasn't as bad I remember. The cruise up the Humber River was almost like Norway. The trail system behind the town seemed to have been expanded and we had a wonderful walk along the riverlet, the lake and dam. Weather was in the seventies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesToRead Posted August 5, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) In August 2018 we used Iceland Horizons for a Golden Circle tour (from Reykjavik). It was an excellent 8 hour tour with a wonderful guide. Edited August 5, 2019 by LovesToRead Clarify one point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eab Posted September 25, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Hi, I have an answer for you in Corner Brook! We went on the QM2 to Corner Brook last September and in order to find a tour a emailed a tour company that normally does land tours for visitors and they were outstanding! They told us they also do cruise excursions, but on a request basis only. I found another couple on our cruise from a Trip Advisor comment and the four of us went. The tour company was Linkum Tours and I dealt with Pamela Hoskins. Their website is www.linkumtours.com. Our guide was Rebecca. She took us to Gros Morne National Park and we had various stops up and back. We were also served a delicious boxed lunch, which happened to be at a Bed and Breakfast and the owners were delightful and sang for us. The cost was $100 per person for four people. When we returned to the ship and talked to others, I believe that we had the best day and really experienced NewFoundland. Their email address is info@linkumtours.com. Sorry that my profile has no info, I cannot determine how to get back in to my account (eab), so set up a new one a few minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
