Celebrity Silhouette cruise ship on a North Atlantic route.

Reykjavik

A North Atlantic wool stop where the best Icelandic yarn errands need a shuttle, taxi, or city-route plan.

Dock note

Skarfabakki / Vor Cruise Terminal

Distances use Skarfabakki/Vor. Some smaller calls may use a more central harbour berth, so confirm the berth before trusting walking times.

Reykjavik is a strong wool port, but the main cruise quay sits east of the city center. Treat downtown wool shopping as a short transfer rather than a pier walk, and use taxi for the farther yarn shops.
