An MSC Cruises excursion will take you to the magnificent\u00a0Godafoss\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 affectionately called ‘the Waterfall of the Gods’. Around 1000 AD, Thorgeir, a senior chieftain, threw sculptures of Norse gods into the waterfall before declaring Christianity Iceland’s official religion. You\u2019ll be amazed by Godafoss\u2019 12-metre vertical drop, one of the best aquatic displays in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in Iceland, approximately 105 km south of the Arctic Circle, the beautifully surreal\u00a0Lake M\u00fdvatn<\/strong>\u00a0is one of Europe’s greatest natural treasures. On an MSC Cruises excursion, you\u2019ll admire the stunning scenery around this exceptionally shallow lake which formed over a bed of volcanic rocks 2300 years ago. At the\u00a0M\u00fdvatn Nature Baths<\/strong>, clouds of steam rising from a fissure deep in the earth’s surface will soothe your spirit and your skin. Take a dip in its mineral-filled turquoise waters for a luxurious and invigorating experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discover Iceland’s waterfalls, lakes, and volcanic landscapes on an MSC Cruises excursion, starting with magnificent Godafoss, a 12-metre cascade of water, known as the ‘Waterfall of the Gods<\/strong>‘. Pause by Lake M\u00fdvatn, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking bodies of water, before admiring the intriguingly shaped Sk\u00fatusta\u00f0ir pseudo-craters. This remarkable site was formed over 2300 years ago when steam exploded from glowing lava that flowed over the frozen landscape. Finally, draw the day to an end at a superb geothermal site, where you\u2019ll find mud pots, boiling springs, steam vents, and sulphur deposits.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

ICELAND INFRASTRUCTURAL FEE<\/strong><\/p>\n

We inform you that Icelandic authorities apply an infrastructure fee to all cruise guests visiting Icelandic ports.<\/p>\n

For 2026 and 2027 the fee is ISK 1,600 (approx. \u20ac11) per person per 24-hour period in Icelandic ports, reduced from ISK 2,500 in 2025. To simplify the process, MSC Cruises will pay this fee on behalf of the guests and debit the amount to their onboard account after departure from Iceland.<\/p>\n

Please note: This fee applies to all guests, regardless of disembarkation or remaining onboard while the ship is docked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
