Iceland
Greenland – focusing mainly on summer glamping
Don’t forget to pack the essential hat, sunglasses, sunscreen if you’re travelling in the summer, a shawl, and of course your camera!
No matter where you are going in the world, you should pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals.
Iceland – visit during the summer months for endless light and full accessibility or in winter, to experience magical skies and cozy, snowy adventures. For a quieter, more reflective journey – the shoulder season is ideal. Visits to Greenland are recommended during the Summer only.
Many don’t realize that the name Nine Worlds comes from Norse mythology, where the cosmos is divided into nine interconnected realms. It reflects how Nine Worlds sees Iceland – as a place of many worlds: fire and ice, land and sea, ancient culture and modern design. At Nine Worlds, journeys are built that connect these “worlds” in ways that feel seamless, immersive, and personal.
As for Iceland, one secret we love sharing is that some of the most magical Northern Lights sightings happen in shoulder seasons like late September, mid-November, or March to early April, when the skies are dark but the weather is a bit milder – a perfect combo that many overlook.
At Nine Worlds, we believe that exceptional travel should leave a positive impact on both our guests and the destination. As a boutique luxury DMC dedicated to Iceland, we are committed to creating authentic, tailor-made journeys that respect the country’s unique landscapes, culture, and communities.
We work closely with carefully selected local guides, boutique accommodations, and independent experience providers who share our values of quality, authenticity, and responsible tourism. Wherever possible, we encourage our guests to explore beyond the traditional tourist routes, supporting local businesses while helping to distribute the benefits of tourism more widely across Iceland.
As part of the Travel Connect family, we are proud to support the Travel Connect Fund, an initiative that invests in environmental, cultural, and community-based projects across the destinations where we operate. Through this fund, we contribute to meaningful initiatives that help preserve natural environments, support local communities, and promote long-term sustainable development.
Sustainability is an ongoing commitment rather than a single initiative. From the partnerships we build to the experiences we create, we strive to ensure that every journey reflects our respect for our destination and contributes positively to its future.
