Adventure of a Lifetime
Experiencing travel in the
past few months has been
like riding a rollercoaster.
The excitement of once
again being able to travel
has been thwarted by the
need to produce passenger
locator forms and adhere
to ever-changing traffic
light guidelines.
If there’s one upside for
those who have reduced their travel in 20/21, it’s that
most have increased funds available to spend on future
holidays. The expectation of the travel industry is that
we’re likely to be more discerning when choosing future
holiday locations.
So, who’s ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Welcome
to Iceland.
One of Europe’s most magical and unforgettable spots,
Iceland is a picture-perfect destination for travellers.
Dubbed the land of fire and ice, Iceland is a captivating
country where volcanoes, glaciers come together to
create a landscape that is like nowhere else on Earth. With
friendly locals, spectacular scenery, lots of adventure, and
a lively party scene, everyone should experience Iceland
at least once in their life.
From the seasoned city
break traveller looking
for something new, to
the adventurous family
set on a road trip round,
and the hedonistic party
lover looking for an
‘Instagrammable’ hotspot
– Iceland is a destination
for all.
Iceland is also becoming
an increasingly popular cruise destination, especially for
those who want to reach Iceland’s natural wonders and
wildlife. A selection of cruises from Fred.Olsen depart
from Liverpool and allows tourists to explore Iceland’s
most incredible highlights.
Here’s eight places that should be on your ‘Must Visit’ list
for Iceland:
Reykjavik blends Nordic heritage with a contemporary,
distinctly unique style, and this lively city is compact,
cosmopolitan and refreshingly different. Its charming
downtown of painted timber homes is watched over by
the soaring and unforgettable spire of the Hallgrimskirkja
church, while oodles of hearty Scandinavian vodka bars
and taverns litter the streets.
