While in Copenhagen, we enjoyed 2 evenings at Tivoli Gardens. Although it is right in the middle of the city, we felt worlds away when we stepped through Tivoli's gates. As Disney fans, we were eager to visit this theme park, the only one we've visited in Europe. We originally planned on one night in the park but our kids loved it and wanted to return for a second. It is easy to reach the park from anywhere in the city so it was no trouble to spend more time here. The reas

Lake Mývatn, located in northern Iceland, is a picturesque spot along the Diamond Circle that offers breathtaking views and unique geological formations. Formed over 2000 years ago, the lake is a result of a volcanic eruption in the Mývatn area. We spent some time exploring the lakes, hills and pseudocraters on our day in northern Iceland. The formation of Lake Mývatn began with a series of volcanic eruptions that occurred around 2300 years ago. The volcanic activity in the

During our port stop in Akureyri, Iceland we were able to spend some time exploring the captivating Hverir in the Namafjall Geothermal Area. After the site of Godafoss in the morning, our group of 24 friends and family, ranging from little kids to teenagers and adults, were primed for an unforgettable experience in this geothermal wonderland. Namafjall is a high-temperature geothermal area full of active fumaroles and mud pots releasing steam scented with hydrogen sulfide whi

In the enchanting land of Iceland, breathtaking natural wonders await at every turn. If you're traveling to northern Iceland with your family, make sure to include a visit to Godafoss, the "Waterfall of the Gods," in your itinerary. Located just a short drive from the charming town of Akureyri, this picturesque waterfall promises an unforgettable experience for both young and old. Getting There: To embark on this family adventure, begin your journey from Akureyri, often refe

In our final blog post about our wonderful time in Iceland's Golden Circle, we must highlight some diversions between the big, poplar sites. We spent about 14 hours exploring the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon. While time in our private vans was full of constantly changing views of jaw-dropping landscapes and stories from our guides from Nice Travel, ( www.nicetravel. is ) we found these stops to be highlights themselves rather than just a chance to stretch our legs.

Blue Lagoon Iceland: Bathing in the surprisingly blue waters not only relaxed us but filled us with joy!

Disney Treasure: The first DCL ship with strong Disney Parks theming.

My best friend and I recently enjoyed six delicious desserts at Remy aboard the beautiful Disney Dream somewhere in the Atlantic on our way to Iceland. Remy, found aboard the Disney Fantasy and the Disney Dream, is an adult dining location inspired by Paris and its namesake, Chef Remy. Remy is co-curated by 3-star Michelin Chef Arnaud Lallement of L’Assiette Champenoise and Chef Scott Hunnel of Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World. Each dessert was over the top delicious

Stonehenge may be the grandfather of sites that mix true and fascinating history, classic tourism and of course, over the top outlandish theories. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so it’s legit. Say what you want but it was on the bucket list of more than one in our party. Since we had a motor coach arranged for our large group from London to Southampton Cruise Terminal, we figured “how can you not stop by Stonehenge?” Some of us had visited more than 20 years ago and

Kerið is a volcanic crater lake located along Iceland's breathtaking Golden Circle. Kerið crater is about 3000 years old and formed when a volcano collapsed in on itself. The strikingly blue lake formed when the crater filled with water. The soil is bright crimson due to it's high iron content. Minerals in the water contribute to it's lovely blue color. Green leaves and colorful wildflowers contribute to the kaleidoscope of color visitors encounter here. Kerið crater measure

Many have their preferred method of adjusting to local time. One of our favorites when we travel overseas is scheduling something active on the day of arrival. After a red eye to London Heathrow and an airport transfer we checked into the Fielding Hotel (https://www.thefieldinghotel.co.uk/)feeling a bit beat. Hitting the sack at noon however is a sure way to extend the jet lag over days. Instead we opted for an e-bike tour of London (www.londonebiketour.com). We love bike tou
