The article describes a traveler’s seven-day cruise experience around Iceland aboard Windstar's Star Pride ship, which was chosen for its luxury and convenience. Despite the high cost of the trip ($6,500), the traveler finds significant value given Iceland's overall expense. The ship provided breathtaking views of Iceland's natural beauty while including meals and accommodation. Although initial travel costs in Reykjavík were surprising, the cruise allowed for a comprehensive exploration of the country without financial stress, ultimately making it a worthwhile investment.
Iceland tends to be expensive, and I got to see it all in one fell swoop.
The continuous views of fjords, waterfalls, and colorful villages from the small, comfortable ship were so worth it.
This became something of a theme. Popular rideshare programs like Uber and Lyft don't operate in Iceland, and the taxis and rental cars were both startlingly expensive.
I could've done the whole trip with fewer perks for closer to $5,000. That may sound like a lot, but everything was taken care of for us on the cruise.
