Earlier this month the Eurodam made her much anticipated call at Reykjavik, Iceland. Crew tours were arranged to a natural spa called The Blue Lagoon, and The Golden Circle, a six-hour highlights tour.

The Blue Lagoon is Iceland’s most popular attraction, and consists of a geothermal spa whose rich milky seawater is known for its positive effects on the skin.

The Golden Circle offers visitors an introduction to Iceland’s most amazing natural geological attractions, such as the Strokkur Geysir and Thingvellie National Park. Nearly 100 crew from all Departments visited the Blue Lagoon and 25 toured Iceland with the Golden Circle.
