Reykjavík has multiple quays: Skarfabakki (312 & 315), Korngarður, Miðbakki (Old Harbour), and Faxagarður. We track the schedule, but please provide your Ship Name when booking so we are waiting at the correct one!
How much luggage can I bring?
The standard allowance is 1 large suitcase + 1 carry-on per passenger. If you have extra luggage, please contact us. If you have more luggage than standard or oversized items, you MUST inform us when booking. We may need to upgrade you to a larger van.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, and they are free of charge. Please specify the age and weight of the child in the booking notes so we bring the correct size.
Can you drop me off at a hotel in Keflavík town (near the airport)?
Yes! We know many passengers stay in Keflavík town before their flight. When booking, simply choose the option for „Keflavík Hotel” or select the Airport transfer and specify your hotel address in the notes.
