Iceland Intensive interests me for Summer 2026...BUT...only 3 ports?! The 2025 Iceland itinerary has 4 ports.

 

I'll check it out when the cruises are actually released, but I already booked Iceland on HAL for Aug. 2026, which will be hard to beat: four ports and a covered main pool for $4,850 for two in a balcony cabin, with tips, wifi and drink package.

Looking into Baltics 6/2026 or maybe east coast to Iceland. Sure hope prices are affordable😬

I’m hoping affordable too but I’m not getting my hopes up.  DH and I agreed last night on a price ceiling.  If it doesn’t work we will do something else.  There’s a point where it’s just silly.

So some sailings are bookable right now.

 

My travel agent is able to book the Aug 1 2026 Apex sailing (14 night Spain + total eclipse) and the Aug 15 7 night Norway sailing after that.  The Aug 29th 14 night Norway + Arctic Circle has not been released yet.

 

Pricing is $11,588 for 2 with NRD and includes 2 perks for the Aug 1 sailing.  This is for an SV

Pricing is $5,766 for 2 with NRD + 2 perks for Aug 15th sailing.  Also for an SV.

 

I don't understand the 2 perk thing because I thought it's "cruise only" or "always included" fares recently..

Interesting.  So, the two perks is probably classic beverage package and WiFi or maybe they are allowing a choice of 2 from WiFi , drinks, tips? The solar eclipse one is out of my price range.

 

I was playing last night with 2025 just to get a sense of pricing and I just can’t wrap my head around some of the refundable deposits…the refundable created a price difference that is almost double.  I almost think the risk of losing it (or moving the cruise if possible) is better than overpaying by that much.  I’ve been doing non refundable as I typically get cancel for any reason trip insurance so I figure I’m reasonably well covered so I haven’t paid much attention to the difference, but wow!
