Starting from the Akureyri Cruise Port, then Hof Cultural and Conference Center, the service runs every hour on the hour, perfectly timed to cater to the needs of cruise ship passengers. The entire loop is a concise 45 minutes, making it easy to get an overview of Akureyri’s key attractions without feeling rushed. Please note: The earliest departure is at 9:00 AM. If the bus fills up before that time, it may depart slightly earlier. If no cruise ships are scheduled to dock between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, the first departure will be scheduled one hour after the next cruise ship arrives at the port. If your cruise ship arrives the night before, you can catch the first bus at 9:00 AM the following morning.
