Eskifjordur

A host of options await those arriving at Eskifjörður Port, our exciting destination for cruise and pleasure vessels of all sizes. Through its assortment of traditional and modern houses rising above the fjord, Eskifjörður is typical of Icelandic seaside villages. Local residents, as well as other residents of the geographically huge surrounding municipality of Fjarðabyggð, will do their best to provide cruise ship travellers with a pleasant visit. The fjord leading to Eskifjörður is sheltered and free of reefs, while the harbour has a deep approach and outstanding facilities.
We extend a hearty welcome to the Port of Eskifjörður.
