Your reporter, Wesley Johnson, is spot on with the report, having just returned from a cruise which included three stops in Iceland, at Akureyri (on the north coast), Isafjordur and Reykjavik - 98% pollution free, little to no crime and spotlessly clean.
The cruise departs from/returns to Southampton and calls at Zeebrugge, Stavanger, Eidfjord, Bergen, Alesund, Akureyri, Reykjavik, Dublin and Cobh.
Also brand new for Royal Caribbean in 2010 will be maiden port calls at Akureyri, Iceland, and Gothenburg, Sweden.
