The Land of Ice & Fire 🔥

Have you ever thought about traveling to Iceland? That is one of our destinations this summer and I could NOT be more excited! I love to explore new areas and what better way to become an expert for my clients than to experience things first hand!

Iceland has so much to offer. Many cruise lines offer ports in Iceland throughout the summer. You can visit stunning waterfalls, volcanos, see puffins & go whale watching. Land trips in the fall, winter and early spring offer stunning views of the Northern Lights and snowy landscapes. You could even trek out on Icelandic ponies!

💰When traveling consider carrying a money belt that fits under your clothes or a small crossbody type bag that can go in front of your body.

💰Never carry a backpack or sit your bag down as these can make you an easy target for pickpockets. Try to only carry the essentials. Pickpockets are professionals at what they do and your stuff is gone before you realize what happened!

🚢Cruising is back and more popular than ever🚢

Itineraries are booking up well in advance and with so many to choose from - how do you pick the perfect cruise line for your trip?

🚢Travel party - who is traveling with you? Is this an adult only trip or family friendly? What vibe are you looking for? Some cruise lines cater to adults only while others have amazing kids clubs and family activities.

🚢 Destination - are you looking for tropical beaches, beautiful Alaskan scenery, European culture? What is your bucket list destination?

🚢 Length - how long do you want to travel? Would you enjoy a land & sea package? Budget and time off work will be factors in this decision as well as travel time to get to the starting port.

🚢 Port - what port do you want to embark from? Would you like to fly or drive? Cruises can be port heavy or more relaxing with more sea days. Your travel planner can help you choose the right port for you and your travel party.

Ready to get cruising? DM “cruise” to get started!

☀️Travel Tip Tuesday☀️

Let’s talk about when to book a cruise!

🚢It pays 💰 to book early!

🚢The best time to book your cruise is when the itinerary opens or at least 12 months in advance. This will be the best price! Even the “sales” closer to sailing aren’t as good as opening day prices most of the time!

🚢 Cruise ships use dynamic pricing - meaning as the ship fills and the faster it fills the price goes up.

🚢Now is a great time to book for Spring & Summer 2024!
