Where is the Reykjavík cruise port?
Large ships berth at Skarfabakki in the Sundahofn area, about 4 km east of downtown, run by Faxafloahafnir (Faxaports). The new VOR cruise terminal, with Skarfabakki and Korngardur, has gated zones for drop-off, pre-booked tours, city shuttles and taxis, plus a walkway towards the city centre. Smaller ships use Midbakki and Faxagardur in the Old Harbour, right in the centre.
Faxaports' free city shuttle ran from 2023 to 2025 and does not run in 2026, so check with your cruise line whether it provides one. Straeto bus 16 stops near the terminal.
