Online Travel Agency of the Year 2010/2011 My name is Susan and I am your local Expert Travel Advisor based in Titchmarsh. I got the travelling bug at the age of ten when I travelled across America with my family from New York to Los Angeles. This led to a career in the Hospitality and Travel Industry spanning 25 years. I spent ten years at sea on luxury cruise ships as a Shore Excursion Manager travelling the world and, therefore, have firsthand experience of a wide variety of holiday destinations. I am in a position to pass on my experience to fellow travellers.

Did you know that 2013 is right at the top of the 11-year solar cycle, meaning that the sun is now throwing off a lot more solar particles, called solar wind? These charged particles play havoc with the earth’s magnetic field and that’s what causes the amazing aurora: the Northern Lights. For various scientific reasons the current 11-year cycle is a particularly strong one and is offering the best Northern Lights over Iceland since 1958. You can go on Northern Lights holidays in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Russia, Greenland, Canada and Alaska; so why choose Iceland? From the UK, Iceland is probably the easiest and cheapest destination. A great time to travel is between September and May. A four-night break in Reykjavik in a 4* Hotel with I can tailor make itineraries to include excursions such as visiting the Blue Lagoon, the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall, snowmobiling and, most importantly, excursions that concentrate on viewing the Northern Lights. |
