Reykjavík, Akureyri, Berlin

Welcome to Iceland, the only country to have a form of water in its name.

From the ocean to ancient glaciers to geothermal hotspots, this island nation simply wouldn’t be the same without water. Experience the Blue Lagoon, then dive into an adventure centered around the role the ocean plays in daily Icelandic life, complete with fishing and whale watching. Immerse yourself in Iceland’s unforgettable landscapes on visits to extinct volcanic craters and mountains where mud boils and steam flows out of the earth. The trip culminates in Berlin where you’ll further understand The Impact of Water on Society at our inspiring leadership conference and explore ways to harness this natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
