After Akureyri, we sailed on the Saturn to Seyðisfjörður [pronounced: say this fiyor dur] in the East Fjords. It was our last stop in Iceland before a day and two nights at sea, bound for the Faroe Islands. I again opted for the shore tour. But this was no standard included tour. 

We were brought to Herðubreið community center in the middle of town for a “Viking Festival” of art, music, and food. It’s the same building that houses the town’s movie theater. There was sparkling wine with rhubarb syrup, smoked lamb on homemade flatbread, arctic char mousse, happy marriage cake, and the simplest: goat cheese on a biscuit with tiny fern leaves and more rhubarb jam. But it was so delectable that I may have gone back many times while I looked at the art, watched a movie with Icelandic landscapes, and sipped my wine. That rhubarb syrup!! Finally, Kolbeinn Þór Nökkvason made us laugh in the concert hall before we were treated to the musical magic that is Björt Sigfinnsdóttir (vocalist) & Jón Hilmar Kárason (guitarist). Björt & Jón were also funny, their music was terrific, and they had incredible stories about Iceland that helped me walk away feeling I understood the country better. Even though I’d been there several times already!

It was all SO GOOD and made the town of Seyðisfjörður my new favorite place to visit in Iceland.

Afterwards, I walked through town admiring the architecture, the murals on many of the buildings, quirky spots like Klosk, and the Búðareyrarfoss waterfall. In my next post, I’ll share what is perhaps the most famous thing about the town.

Stay tuned for that & more stories from another [hosted but not paid] adventure with Viking. It’s the “Iceland’s Majestic Landscapes” itinerary, which includes stops in Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Norway. #MyVikingStory
