Quick answer
The map expansion launched on November 10, 2026, adding 14 cities and settlements around the Ring Road, and the only way in is by ferry.
Quick answer
You cannot drive to Iceland. Take a ferry from Hirtshals, Rotterdam Europoort, or Ålesund, or use Quick Travel to an Iceland garage.
The DLC adds 14 cities and settlements, the Ring Road, single-lane bridges, and transparent water. It needs game version 1.62.
The Cruising Iceland event runs November 10, 2026 to January 3, 2027: deliver to or from all 14 cities to earn the Fire and Ice paint job.

How to get to Iceland: the ferry routes
There is no road to Iceland, so every trip starts at a ferry port. SCS Software added three crossings from mainland Europe and one crossing inside the island. The Hirtshals to Seyðisfjörður route is based on the real Smyril Line service. The Rotterdam Europoort to Þorlákshöfn route adapts a real freight route run by Smyril Line Cargo into a regular truck ferry. The Ålesund to Seyðisfjörður route does not exist in real life, and it opens Ålesund ferry port for the first time.
| Route | Notes |
|---|---|
Hirtshals (Denmark) to Seyðisfjörður | Based on the real Smyril Line ferry; arrives in eastern Iceland |
Rotterdam Europoort (Netherlands) to Þorlákshöfn | Adapted from a real freight route; arrives on the southwest coast |
Ålesund (Norway) to Seyðisfjörður | Fictional route; opens Ålesund ferry port for the first time |
Stykkishólmur to Brjánslækur (inside Iceland) | Crosses Breiðafjörður bay once you are on the island |
Taking the ferry, step by step
Own the Iceland DLC and run game version 1.62. Without the DLC, the island is not on the map.
Drive to one of the three mainland ferry ports: Hirtshals, Rotterdam Europoort, or Ålesund.
Open the ferry menu at the port, pick the Iceland sailing, and confirm. The fare covers your truck and trailer.
SCS warns the fare is expensive. If you already own a garage in Iceland, Quick Travel there instead and skip the sea crossing.
Once ashore, the Ring Road connects the whole island, so any city is reachable by road from the port.
What is in the DLC
The expansion covers the whole island. SCS lists 14 cities and settlements, led by Reykjavík and Akureyri, tied together by the Ring Road (Route
1) that loops the island. Reykjavík sits on the Seltjarnarnes peninsula, with Route 41 linking it to Keflavík. The Haukadalur geothermal area, where the Strokkur geyser erupts, is one of the landmarks SCS recreated.
Driving in Iceland has two things to watch. First, the single-lane bridges: only one direction crosses at a time, so slow down and yield to oncoming traffic. Second, the water: Iceland is the first place in the game with transparent water, so rivers and coastlines look different from the rest of the map.
Special Transport in Iceland
Owners of the Special Transport DLC get four new Special Transport routes across the island. The routes also bring a new cargo to haul, the Articulated Dumper, which comes over from American Truck Simulator. These are escort jobs with the usual Special Transport rules: follow the escort vehicles, keep to the route, and expect a slow, careful drive.
Cruising Iceland event: dates, goals, rewards
The Cruising Iceland World of Trucks event started with the DLC on November 10, 2026, and ends on January 3, 2027 at 23:59 UTC. You need the Iceland DLC and a World of Trucks-connected profile. Take jobs through External Contracts or the External Market, and every qualifying job must be at least 150 km long, to or from a city in Iceland.
| Goal | What you get |
|---|---|
Personal: deliver to or from all 14 Iceland cities | World of Trucks achievement and the Fire and Ice truck paint job (Steam inventory item) |
Community: 175,000,000 km driven on deliveries to or from Iceland | Players who also finished the personal goal receive a Troll hanging figurine (Steam inventory item) |
Bonus: one delivery to or from Patreksfjörður | Atlantic Puffin cabin accessory |
Connect your profile to World of Trucks before you start, or the jobs will not count.
Pick External Contracts or External Market jobs of at least 150 km, to or from an Iceland city.
Check your recent deliveries in the World of Trucks Log Book to confirm each city is covered.
Claim rewards from the Events page of your World of Trucks profile.
FAQ
Do I need the Iceland DLC to join the Cruising Iceland event?
Yes. The event deliveries all run to or from Iceland cities, so the DLC is required, along with a World of Trucks-connected profile.
Can I drive to Iceland from the mainland?
No. There is no road or bridge. The only ways across are the three ferry routes, or Quick Travel to a garage you already own in Iceland.
Is the ferry expensive?
SCS warns that shipping a truck and trailer by ferry comes with a hefty price tag. If you already have an Iceland garage, Quick Travel is the cheaper option.
