I wish you could mention about accessibility getting on and off the ships for wheelchair and mobility scooter uses. Love your videos ❤
David’s waterfall legend ruse totally took Ben in and it was absolutely delightful to see Ben’s hilarious reaction. Well done David.
So Lucky to do this before the eruption that recently happened. Love and prayers to the people of Iceland

There has been NO eruption to date. Please don’t spread misinformation.

No eruption has happened yet. What has damaged the surrounding area is a swarm of intense earthquakes.
Wherever you are, when your waiter says you might want to go for something else there’s probably a reason.🥰🥰
Iceland is so beautiful!!! Thank you for the tour. I'm glad you took the thermal plunge because I was feeling chilly in empathy with you. What a lovely ship, too! 🚢
Your videos never cease to amaze me, I enjoy every single one, genuine lovely people. Thank you for your content!!
Great video. We went to Iceland in 2022 and went to the same ports you did. Prayers for the people of Iceland who will be affected by the earthquakes and volcanic activity.
I have been to Iceland 4 times but it has been about 35 years since I have been there. We used to say you can experience lol 4 seasons in one day there.. such a unique place. I loved it.
I love Iceland --- I've been a couple of times. The last time was on the NCL Prima last Fall and I attended "Elf School" and now have a certificate/diploma proclaiming, my distinction of knowing more than most people about Iceland’s hidden realm. It was not a ship excursion, we arranged it ourselves --- it was a really fun, unusual thing to do in Reykjavik! I also made sure to have a couple of the "best hotdogs in Europe" from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur Hot dog stand --- with "the works." I try not to spend too much money on food when I cruise to Iceland because the ship food is, of course, included with the fare .... but I'll HAPPILY buy a couple of $5 hotdogs drowning in remoulade, brown mustard, fresh onions and crispy fried onions!!!!

Thanks for watching. Iceland seems to have left you with fantastic memories! 🌍🌭😊
Wow - what a beautiful ship - she looks absolutely beautiful! I really hope Iceland continues to take off as a cruise destination - some of these itineraries look absolutely remarkable!

I think it will continue to grow in popularity. The itineraries are beautiful!
Has to be one of the nicest suites I’ve ever seen.
Your thumbnail is precious. It should be in your living room framed on the wall
Hi Ben and David - sorry I haven’t been commenting lately. I’ve been in hospital for the past six weeks ~ with my Multiple Sclerosis and lupus ~ so have spent the last week since being home binge watching your videos. I’m up-to-date now and have just started watching your Iceland cruise ~ the ship looks absolutely stunning and you’re suite is out of this world - I look forward to watching the rest of the video. ~ I’m so pleased you’ve got to go on this cruise before the volcano situation.~ take care, sending love and hugs as always ~ Xxx Xxx.

MS and Lupus. Crikey!
My heart goes out to the people is Iceland now.
This looks like my kind of cruise. Good food and beautiful scenery. I don’t want all the other attractions. I’ll bring an iPad and book 😊. I will keep Windstar in mind.
Thank you. I can’t wait to see more of Iceland. Such a magical & majestic country!
Omg I am so jelly. Iceland is at the very top of my bucket list. We were scheduled on a transatlantic cruise last April, which stopped in Iceland. However, life happens, and we had to cancel. However, now we are looking at flying into Iceland and doing a 14 day cruise around parts of Greenland and Iceland. In addition, my hubby promised 5 days in Iceland too, so it's worth waiting for. April 2026 can't arrive soon enough. Lol It is just stunning. We live in Maine, and it is gorgeous, but. Iceland is just exquisite. I can't wait. Thank you for sharing this. What a magical place. You hiked to a waterfall, and there were only the 2 of you there!!!! How epic is that?? ❤❤❤

Can't wait for you to experience Iceland. Thank you for sharing your excitement! ❤️
Good that the Blue Lagoon was open and not closed as it is now
The thumbnail pic is the cutest ever.
As you say, expensive, but Iceland (Island) has ALWAYS been an expensive destination. Visited by air decades ago (Reykjavik Glacier Tour), and even then the cost of beer was astronomical. Amazing geology though, and amazing Thermal Springs too!
Hopefully the Blue Lagoon will survive this current volcanic eruption as well as the nearby fishing village. The hotel is wonderful from my own experience. Expensive but well worth it. The cruise looked amazing. Iceland is a very nice summer break from the heat.

There has been volcanic activity as in frequent, severe earthquakes in the Reykjanes region but no eruption just yet.

We do mention that we were invited. They do not pay us or have any control over what to do or say.
David being able to make up folklore so easily is so funny!
Gorgeous - had a trip to Reykjavik over midsummer and we got so lucky with the weather, just one afternoon of rain.
I just love you guys. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Iceland. Love the "waterfall" lol!. 🤣🤣😘😘
Great video again! We did a tour with Viking, hitting some of the same ports. Your ship was at some of the same ports when we arrived. One thing about beautiful Iceland is that some towns are 700 people which means they have little infrastructure to conduct tours for 300-1200 passengers. Checking out the smaller cities on your own is probably a better way than using some of the excursions the lines use because they max out of available openings in minutes flat. Rejkjavik was great with great food and friendly people. Being from the US, when handed the tab for two burgers and two beers and the total is 14,000 (krona) your first thought is "I am doomed", but when you do the math, it is only 100 dollars or so, but for two burgers, but the beauty of the country makes it worthwhile.
Beautiful ship! Haven’t been to Iceland in over 20 years! I remember it was breathtaking! So fun seeing this video! I so appreciate your descriptions of food, sights, and everything! Love your honesty, and yet you are professional and classy!! You are so informative,entertaining, and fun!! Your videos fill our hearts with joy!! You are the best!! 😊
This was a fabulous video. Thank you.
This was NEVER my idea of Iceland!! I thank you for changing my mind! I always thought of Iceland as a frozen tundra. It's gorgeous!!
I was in Iceland a month ago ( Feb 2024) and had so much fun I want to go back. We did the Golden Circle tour. So we saw geysers,waterfalls, The Secret Lagoon which is a natural hot pool. We also did The Diamond Beach tour and saw a fantastic glacier. People are so friendly. Gullfoss was lovely who you saw it but it stunning when frozen
The ship is amazing. Thanks for this vlog. Bon voyage! 🛳️ cheers.
Love you both. You made my Sunday night with this dropping. Thank you. Daniel. From London
Thanks for sharing your experiences on your luxury cruise. Loved the cabin! And the food! A wonderful vlog.
Outstanding visit - thanks! We loved our Aug 22 trip so much that we are returning again next August.
I recently cruised to Japan/Korea on the Windstar Star Breeze. It looks exactly like your ship, and even had the renovation to extend. The cabins, restaurants, bars and layout is exactly the same. Your video brought back fond memories and now I want to go to Iceland. With Windstar, of course!
Love the rainbow walkway to the church. This ship is beautiful and the country is stunning. I hope you get your wish Ben 😂. David’s as bad as me..love it 😊

There are rainbows painted on the streets in many Icelandic towns, including one of the main streets in Reykjavík. The rainbow has a special significance in Norse mythology. It is the bridge between the domains of the gods and the humans.
Fantastic Thanks so much Joy Bringers !
What an Awesome ship.
So happy to see this video. It so looks like something that we would love to do. And to a place we have never been.
Thanks for another great video. We are looking forward to visit there this summer.
Looks amazing! I would love to do this one!
Just love you two!
We were on that ship in Alaska in September. Wonderful ship and staff.
I like this cruise line. We just might have to try the same cruise as having only less than 400 people on the ship is right up our alley. Plus, Iceland is so unique.
What a lovely ship, much prefer this to the huge cruise ships. This shouts quality.
Lovely and entertaining as always.
My 9 yr old son and i absolutely LOVE both of you!!! I must say, as a peri-menopausal woman, I think I need a cruise like this…. I might just stay there for the next few years!😆💕🌷
absolutely stunning
It looks Amazing.
Only 312 people, that's more like it. Amazing that only the two of you went on the hike to the waterfall. This cruise looks so lovely. Yes to thermal spring baths:)
So lovely to see thanks boys!
Excellent video tour. I must go to Iceland now that you have done this video.
It looks like you had a lovely cruise, with beautiful sights & great food.
I and my son LOVE Speed 2!!! So excited to se you on the ship it was filmed on! Just so excited for this vlog!!! ~ Inge 🤩
Fabulous my sort of cruise food looked wonderful, loved those pools thanks for sharing.
Hi Ben and David, so good to see you enjoyed Iceland and Windstar. We were there on Star Pride about the same time with not great weather but it was still stunning. We love Windstar, you should try one of their sailing ships, Wind Surf is fabulous. Btw all soft drinks including speciality coffee are free on Windstar, there's no extra charge. Xx
I haven't even watched the whole vlog yet but I just had to say that your thumbnail for this video is absolutely the cutest! ❤
Another lovely video here which I really enjoyed! (Although as always I blame Ben and David for making me sit stuffing my face throughout because of all the incredible food they show off!)
The entry way is like that (one outside door to the hallway, with the two suite doors inside that little vestibule, because back in the days when she was the Seabourn Legend we could buy both suites and they would take out the beds in one suite and set one up as a living room and the other as a bedroom.
now this is the kind of cruise I think i would really love. I'm not a big fan of crowds and really love the scenery shown. I think something like this, one of the smaller Alaskan cruises or a Norway fjord cruise would be my dream cruise. Thanks for the video you two I only recently found your channel but have been very much enjoying it.
We were there in August along with Norway. Best cruise ever. If you go again, I encourage you to take excursions. The Golden Circle Tour in Reykjavik was fabulous. In the second day we took the south coast tour. Winding roads, waterfalls, geysers and a black sand beach.
Halibut is my favorite fish along with sturgeon. They are very mild flavored with the texture of almost chicken. Love them. Fun watching this cruise, I would like the smaller ship. The big ships just have to many people for me. Looking forward to more on this cruise.
Just saw this, nice ship. I want to go to Iceland again
Those snacks remind me of the International Cafe on Princess. Lovely ship and Iceland is beautiful. Thank you for bringing us along.
Great video would love to go on a small cruise like this but probably too costly for me. Love you guys happy Thanksgiving.
Epic video!
Great video! We have a trip scheduled in February hoping to see the Northern Lights.
My kind of cruise guys. Would love to take that cruise
I am so jealous of all of it! That's what I envision a vacation to be. Glad you guys had such a nice cruise.
Great vlog!
I love the both of you! Thank you for sharing your experiences. BTW, was it stunning? ; )

Hubby and I were there in July also, except we took eleven days to drive around the country. Your vidoe brings back some wonderful memories.
Food looks delicious 😋
Love the vlog ❤
Another fantastic blog
I really like the ship, the size is perfect for me. Lovely place also. Thank you for the video!
Sorry the weather wasn't better, but glad you got to visit the Blue Lagoon!
Informative, & hilariously entertaining. 👍🏻👍🏻

Such a different cruise for u…I love the excursions… they are the best! I so appreciated - ‘there are no longest zip lines’ - nature is the best!
I loved our cruise to Iceland!
I love your video…so glad you made it before the eruption….i loved the look of the ship…
I like the big cruises but this looks like one I would definitely want to go on. Ever thing about the ship looked beautiful and the food looked delicious. I also like the small town feel of the towns that were visited. With possibly 300 people coming off the ship I hope it didn't inundate the local population. An overall 10 out of 10
Sunday night is Ben and David time. Thank you for showing me parts of the world I would never see otherwise.🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧
Sorry , I should have said , another great cruise and great content , love all your videos
We’ve been on the Star Legend as well as several other Windstar ships. They are all wonderful. Highly recommended.
😊 absolutely beautiful 😊 glad u both enjoyed your cruise 🛳 😀
It was lovely to see you two at the Blue Lagoon. I’ve been spending plenty of time watching over the town of Grindavík the last few days fretting over the residents that have had to be evacuated. We’ll be going to a few of the towns you visited as part of our cruise next year, and I don’t know if the Lagoon will even be an option then. 🌋🌋🌋
That’s one of the old Seabourn ships! I remember it fondly. I considered it my vacation home in the 90’s.
You 2 are so funny. The joke about the waterfall, I had tears rolling down my face. You should do stand up comedy. I love your channel.
Iceland is on the back burner right now !
Great fun
Thx for the video David and Ben. For future reference: L’Occitane = lox-see-tan . Keep up the great work!
Beautiful ❤️
Another entertaining video. The cruise looks incredible, much prefer smaller ships. Iceland also looks terrific maybe as much as Ben’s coiffure😃
LOVE WIndstar.
That wonderful water fall was the Niagara Falls of Iceland….but, beautyfuller!! Lovely…..and stunning…..!!
We were suppose to go to Iceland but then Covid happened and we had to cancel. Looking forward to going there soon. Love your videos.
Beautiful country, so glad you’re safe… quite dangerous now😮😮❤
That looks like a Viking ship. We went on one to Norway and loved it especially the bar at the end of the ship
best thumbnail ever ♥♥♥
The ship looks stunning, what an amazing way to see Iceland! 🤩
