Stability, Space, and the Open Sea

Experience our whale watching cruise from Reykjavík aboard the Amelia Rose, a yacht specifically designed for stability and comfort. While the Icelandic sea can be unpredictable, the Amelia Rose’s heavy hull provides a much smoother ride than standard boats. It’s the ideal choice for families, photographers, and anyone who wants to enjoy the view without the “rock and roll” of the ocean.


🚢 Your Time on the Amelia Rose

Unlike converted fishing boats, the Amelia Rose was built for sightseeing. With three panoramic decks, you have plenty of room to move around and find the perfect angle for that humpback whale photo.

  • Heated Indoor Saloons: If the Atlantic wind gets chilly, step inside our warm, climate-controlled cabins. Large windows ensure you don’t miss a thing while you grab a coffee at the bar.
  • Knowledgeable Local Guides: Our team knows these waters by heart. They’ll keep you informed about what’s happening on the horizon and share straightforward facts about the whales and birds we encounter.
  • Full Amenities: We have a well-stocked bar with snacks and drinks, plus clean, accessible restrooms on board.

🐋 Our Whale Guarantee

Wildlife is unpredictable, and some days the whales are harder to find than others. That’s why every whale watching cruise from Reykjavík with Iceland Discover comes with our guarantee…

  1. You can join us again on the next available day for free.
  2. If you are leaving Iceland before you can try again, we will issue a Return Ticket valid for three years.
