Itinerary
- Day 1
Reykjavik
You'll arrive in Reykjavik whenever your flight gets in, so the day is yours to settle in and explore on your own if you want. There's nothing scheduled until evening when you'll meet your CEO and the rest of your travel group at a welcome meeting. Good time to grab dinner somewhere nearby or just rest up before the trip officially kicks off.
