This getaway was a family event, with Nicole’s sister, Antonia Kidman, an Australian journalist and TV presenter, along with her daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

This isn’t the first time the Nicole family has vacationed together; last summer, on August 19, 2025, Nicole shared another set of photos from a trip that featured a yacht dive into crystal clear waters, a birthday celebration for Sunday with a white cake adorned in pink and red macarons, and a group outing to see Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish perform.

Taking relaxation to the next level, the actress unwinds in an onboard hot tub as the ship navigates northern waters. Sweeping her hair up into a sleek bun, she took in panoramic ocean views from the deck.

On that occasion, Antonia brought all six of her children, and the sisters were seen together in matching cream dresses, captioning their memories simply: "Summer memories ❤️ Now back to school.✨".

This year’s Iceland vacation followed a similar theme of family bonding, although without the concert segment, Kidman’s appearance in the photos certainly stood out.

Comments continued to flow on Kidman’s Facebook page, where the same series of images was shared. One fan remarked, "I forgot how beautiful her hair is curly… she hasn’t aged a bit. This reminds me of her Far and Away Era!!!".

These references to "Days of Thunder" and "Far and Away" were intentional, as viewers were evoking memories of Kidman’s early Hollywood roles when her curls were a defining feature.
