ThanksChar Posted September 9 #1 Share Posted September 9 We are considering a cruise for next summer on the Grandeur which will circumnavigate Iceland counter-clockwise. In considering suite location is viewing ‘better’ on port side (presumably closer to the shore side) or starboard ( closer to the ocean side)? Or, does it not really make a difference? We realize we won’t know what side the ship will tie up on while in port— we’re curious about while we’re underway and in our suite. …..overthinking perhaps? thanks all!

Pcardad Posted September 9 #2 Share Posted September 9 I've been there a few times and doubt you will be close enough, or in your cabin enough, for it to matter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOARMY Posted September 10 #3 Share Posted September 10 ThanksChar: Yes, you are overthinking this. Did July '24 Splendor circumnavigate, Reykjavik-back to Reykjavik, as second segment of a B/t/B. Most transits from one Iceland Port to the next were at night. Wonderful experience. Weather, more-or-less, cooperated. Safe travels.

Rare GMIAC Posted September 10 #4 Share Posted September 10 (edited) The ship circles the island clockwise, so choose Starboard. But you probably won't see much anyway, since the ship sails out pretty far. We didn't from our Starboard cabin. More interesting are the sailings into and out of the fjords, which can be seen from both sides. Edited September 10 by GMIAC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portolan Posted September 10 #5 Share Posted September 10 (edited) Definitely "shore side." Even a long way off-shore, you may be able to see the sky-glow from the eruptions and other interesting things ashore. The "sea-side" will give you a view of...the sea.

irishwitchy Posted September 11 #6 Share Posted September 11 We did this trip a few years ago. Funny, I have no idea what side we had, so I guess it didn’t make a huge difference. We really enjoy that cruise on Splendor and it did go counterclockwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
