Check-in - Reykjavik Residence Hotel
Reykjavik,
Iceland
Reykjavík Residence provides well-appointed flat accommodations in the heart of downtown Reykjavik, perfectly suited for passengers seeking a blend of independence and comfort. Situated within several charming historic buildings, all just minutes apart on foot, the property immerses guests in the city’s rich heritage while offering convenient access to key attractions. Landmarks such as the Harpa Concert Hall, Laugavegur shopping street, and the scenic Reykjavik Old Harbour are all within easy walking distance.
Each flat is thoughtfully designed, featuring spacious layouts that cater to solo passengers, couples, and families alike. Suites and larger units come equipped with modern conveniences including fully furnished kitchens, comfortable living areas, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
There is 24-hour reception as well as breakfast baskets available for guests.
Departing from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour, the boat reaches a prime location in just 15–20 minutes, away from city lights, ideal for viewing the Northern Lights. A guide shares the science behind this magical phenomenon, along with myths and stories from cultures around the world. The tour lasts approximately 2–3 hours, depending on when the auroras appear.
Guests are provided with warm overalls (including children’s sizes) to stay comfortable on deck while observing the dancing lights and listening to the guide’s insights.
Onboard, an original Northern Lights video offers fascinating facts and folklore. Drinks are available at the bar, allowing for a cosy indoor experience while enjoying the distant city lights.
A crew member captures photos throughout the night, so guests can focus on the experience. Photography guidance is also available for those who want to capture the perfect shot.
Day 2. Reykjavik
Experience your Golden Circle tour today!
The Golden Circle bus tour takes you on a day trip to see the world-famous Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss, the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, as well as Thingvellir National Park. The Geysir geothermal area boasts spouting springs, including Strokkur, the most active geyser in Iceland.
At Gullfoss you are given the opportunity to stand next to the amazing waterfall, watching enormous quantities of water tumble violently into a deep, meandering gorge. You will also spend your time encountering a cross-section of Iceland's natural wonders and geological phenomena at Thingvellir National Park, an area of historical and geological significance.
Day 3. Reykjavik
Today is all about relaxation with your Reykjabod Hot Springs admission.
Back in the city this evening, why not explore the Grandi harbour district, now a hub for restaurants, craft beer bars, and an excellent street food hall?
Escape the city for the serene Reykjadalur valley with a luxurious half-day retreat to Reykjaböð, a brand-new geothermal bathhouse. Following a scenic 45-minute drive through Icelandic lava fields, you will arrive at this architectural gem designed to blend into the volcanic landscape.
The experience features a 900-square-metre lagoon maintained at a soothing 38–40°C, complemented by a swim-up bar, a cold plunge pool, and event saunas. Guests can also enjoy a refreshing Kneipp pool to stimulate circulation or unwind in quiet relaxation areas between bathing rituals.
The facility is equipped with modern changing rooms featuring private showers, vanity stations, and complimentary spa products. For seamless convenience, an electronic wristband serves as both a locker key and a cashless payment method for the in-water bar. Before or after soaking, the on-site bistro offers nourishing local flavours and a grab-and-go section.
This tour includes admission to the baths and round-trip transfers from Reykjavík, providing a peaceful and restorative contrast to the bustling capital.
Day 4. Reykjavik
Today is yours to explore Reykjavik at your own pace. Head up to Hallgrimskirkja, the striking concrete church that towers over the city and offers panoramic views from its tower. Down below, the charming streets of the old town are lined with colourful houses, independent shops, and plenty of cafes. Perhaps treat yourself to a skyr and berry smoothie at a local café before wandering down to the old harbour.
