To travel to Iceland by motorhome, drivers must first reach the Danish port of Hirtshals, from where the Norröna ferry, the only one accepting vehicles, sails to Seyðisfjörður in eastern Iceland. The crossing takes 48 to 72 hours with a stop in the Faroe Islands, operates once a week, and requires booking several months in advance. Motorhome fares range from €800 to €2,500 one way, plus a cabin from €80. In Iceland, wild camping is prohibited, with 185 campsites and 5 service areas available; winter tyres are mandatory from 1 November to 15 April, and the blood alcohol limit is 0.2 g/L. Bringing pets requires a permit, a two-week quarantine, and rabies vaccination.
