Iceland is a country where myth and modern life have evolved hand in hand to create a distinctive culture, permeated by a deep awareness of and reverence for the country’s Viking heritage, literary traditions such as the sagas, and the unique characteristics of its natural environment. Evidence of these currents can be detected in Iceland’s art, architecture and music. If you like holidays that enhance your cultural knowledge of particular countries, be sure to look through our range of global luxury cultural trips.

Premium Iceland cultural trips help you gain a better understanding of this remote island nation and its people. As well as plunging you into spectacular landscapes, tours give you the chance to soak up culture through museums, galleries and musical venues such as the Harpa concert hall. Just spending time among the locals at Reykjavik’s fine cafés or at the many geothermal pools throughout the island is a great cultural experience in itself. These holidays are a wonderful contrast to guided art and history trips in Italy and their focus on classical culture.
