Port of Hafnarfjordur Iceland accommodates MSC Poesia cruise ship

Hafnarfjordur is Iceland’s third-largest town, with around 25,000 residents built in a lava field just 10 minutes drive from Reykjavik. The town offers opportunities for whale watching, horse-riding and the harbour can accommodate luxury cruise ships including the magnificent MSC Poesia.

The MSC Poesia cruise ship docked in the Port of Hafnarfjordur recently, breaking the record of the largest ship ever to dock in the harbour. The luxury cruise ship arrived in Iceland on Friday 11th June and was the first ship to arrive in Hafnarfjordur this year.

Passengers aboard the MSC Poesia went on sightseeing tours in the area surrounding Hafnarfjordur to see Gullfoss and Geysir, whilst others travelled to the geothermal area of Krysuvik and the Blue Lagoon. City sightseeing tours to Reykjavik also took place whilst children from the local schools in Hafnarfjordur entertained passengers and crew members with music and drama performances in the harbour.

There are a further twelve cruise ships scheduled to dock in Hafnarfjordur this year, including the MS Astor which is due to dock on Monday 21st June. There has been a substantial increase in the amount of cruise ships coming to Hafnarfjordur since last year, all in all 13 cruise ships will be docking this year, in comparison to the 4 last year.
