Icelandair is a low-cost carrier serving 16 North American airports. All flights from North America go through Iceland's Keflavik airport on their way to over 40 destinations in Europe. I have been on several Icelandair flights in the past year as well as many of our Traveling Professor travelers on our small group tours to Iceland. In this blog post I will relay my personal experiences and opinions on flying Icleandair.
We just got back from a small group tour to Copenhagen, Norway, and Iceland. Six of our days were spent in Oslo, Flam, and Bergen. Norway has plenty to offer travelers and in this blog post, I'll tell you what they liked the best. By the way, we will be offering another small group tour to Norway (plus Denmark and Iceland) in 2017. If not on our mailing list, sign up to get first notice of the tour.
We arrived in Copenhagen 2 days ago on a Traveling Professor small group tour with 13 travelers. Our first stop is Copenhagen where we are staying at the Admiral Hotel near the Nyhavn Canal. There are lots of things to like about Copenhagen and I will tell you my Top 5 things about this lovely Danish city in today's blog post.
On Monday, The Traveling Professor arrives in Copenhagen to start a small group tour to Copenhagen, Norway and Iceland. We have a nice group of people joining us with about half of them traveling with us before. There are solo travelers, couples, friends, even a father/son. Follow the trip on Facebook and look at the tour itinerary in today's blog post.
The Traveling Professor has taken small group tours to Iceland (that means about 12-14) travelers for some time now. I can tell you first-hand, a trip to Iceland is fun and refreshing. It seems as if travel to Iceland is increasing year after year. I am going to tell you why Iceland, despite what you might think, is the "hottest" travel destination of 2016 and beyond.
By far, the most popular travel spots for The Traveling Professor tours are France and Italy. They offer great food, culture, art, and natural beauty. However, it is a big, big world. There are other places to see that frankly, travelers may like MORE than the traditional spots. Denmark, Norway and Iceland have not been on the radar for many travelers for a variety of reasons. They might not be familiar with what to see or do. Scandinavia has the reputation of high prices. But take a look at today's blog post and see why a trip to Denmark, Iceland and Norway may be in your future.
When The Traveling Professor exhibited and spoke at The New York Times Travel Show in New York City, and appeared on The Rudy Maxa travel radio program, the recurring question was "Do you bring your small group tours to Iceland?". Well of course we do. But there is so much more than just a trip to Iceland. With IcelandAir's free stopover program, add on a trip to Norway and Denmark for the full Scandinavian experience. But whey are people going to Iceland, Norway and Denmark. Read my blog post to find out why.
The Traveling Professor just completed three days in New York at the New York Times Travel Show. It was great to meet all of our travelers who came out to see us. It was just as great to make new friends too. We got to talk and meet face-to-face on all aspect of travel. We learned what our travelers want in 2016. In this blog post we will share that with you as well what we learned about upcoming trends in travel.
Last year, The Traveling Professor ran his first small group tour to Iceland. Norway was also included on the itinerary. It sold out in about 2 days and another tour was added that sold out immediately also. People who went on the tour absolutely loved Iceland. So, what's the big deal? Isn't Iceland way too expensive? Isn't Iceland cold? Then why do people love Iceland so much and why is it a great tourist destination? Check out my blog post to see why.
