Help with Arrival Day

My husband and I are arriving in Keflaxik at 6 am on an overnight flight, then taking a cruise. We cannot access our stateroom until 2 pm. Does any have a suggestion for a way for us to relax and enjoy the time? Thank you

I think you mean Keflavik. I would suggest a visit to the Blue Lagoon, as it's not very far. You might need to buy tickets in advance, so check the website.

Thank you and sorry for the spelling error. The Blue Lagoon is a good idea. We would also be very interested in a morning tour as well if anyone has any suggestions where we could arrange that.

Where is your cruise going to? That may help sway anwers.

I'd avoid arranging something that takes you too far away from things, especially since you have a strict time frame here. It may seem like a lot of time, but in reality it really isnt. And, honestly, for cruises, you really should arrive the day before, not the day of - what if your flight to Iceland is canceled?

Keep some things in mind about Iceland, weather - even in Spring or Summer - can impact everything. I did a stopover and both times the plane had to sit on the tarmac after landing for hours - 2+ both times - because the winds were too rough to safely deplane. Retrieving luggage at Keflavik can be a nightmare, too, and I'd imagine with a cruise you probably won't have carryon.

While I know you arrive early enough for any tours, I really strongly suggest if you want to partake in any, arrive the day before. Otherwise, do something close by either to tour Reykjavik or do Blue Lagoon as suggested above.

I would also be interested in hearing about your cruise, as I will be cruising from Iceland this year.

My cruise leaves May 31 so we're not on the same cruise. Bon Voyage.
