Things to Do on a Transatlantic Cruise with Crystal Cruises

A Crystal Cruises journey across the ocean is packed with both relaxation and adventure, and the out-of-the-way places you’ll discover near either coast are extraordinary. For example, the warm waters of the Myvatn Nature Baths in Iceland and the lava plains of Ucanca in Tenerife.

• Akureyri’s Whales & Waterfalls (Akureyri, Iceland)
  Spot the magnificent whales of Iceland as they rise to the top of the waters and blow water high into the air. The massive Godafoss Waterfalls, or the “Waterfall of Gods”, will impress you as you learn about their history when Christianity was declared Iceland’s official religion.
   

• The Myvatn Nature Baths (Akureyri, Iceland)
  Lake Myvatn was shaped by a constant volcanic eruption, allowing for the creation of the Myvatn Nature Baths, a truly unique swimming experience. The warm waters will allow for a relaxing dip, as they’re accompanied by steam rising from the surface.
   

• Eyjafjallajokull Volcano (Reykjavík, Iceland)
  Back in April of 2010, the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano erupted for the first time in almost 200 years. The volcano’s ashes covered farmlands, air and large spot of Europe, especially the commercial air traffic. Now you can see the infamous volcano with a helicopter ride above this and other volcanoes in the area.
   

• Tenerife’s Mount Teide National Park (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands)
  You’ll see the impact the volcanic origins have had upon this region as you take in the lava plains of Ucanca. The La Esperanza Forest will refresh you before you visit the National Park, which is filled with wildlife and vibrant natural wonders.
   

• Boutique Adventures: Private Winery Visit & Lunch (Madeira, Portugal)
  This wonderful Crystal excursion in Madeira will allow you to spend a day enjoying the serenity of this amazing region with a winemaker-hosted tour of his private winery (Duarte Caldeira). He will outline the long and rich history of winemaking before inviting you for a delightful lunch with his wife—a truly memorable experience.
   

• Charleston Kayaking Adventure (Charleston, US)
  You’ll be led by a naturalist to the Shem Creek and enjoy a scenic view of Charleston Harbor, filled with marsh, shrimp boats and nesting birds. Then you will see manmade wonders as you kayak past Fort Sumter, Castle Pinckney and more.
