Although things can be metaphors and cliches, this one is probably best described as cliche-if you were say that "something is like the tip of the iceberg" that would be a simile, if you were say "something is the tip of the iceberg" that would be a metaphor. But as it's a well used phrase whatever it can be generally thought of as a cliche.

∙ 14y agoIt was just the tip of an iceberg that the RMS Titantic hit and it was enough to cause the damage to sink the ship. That is why when you hear it is the "tip of the iceberg" you know other bad things are to follow. Several surviving passengers of Titanic had used this phrase when giving their testimony to the authorities during the investigation of the sinking of the ship.
