Travel in Iceland will take you on an exhilarating evening northern lights cruise. You will travel to the "Golden Circle," home to many of Iceland's most renowned natural wonders. On this trip, spend time at Thingvellir National Park, the nation's most historic area, and gaze at the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall — one of the world's most incredible cascades. Explore Skogar Folk Museum and see the traditional turf-built homes. Walk on a black volcanic sand beach and see Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs. This trip will also include a soak in the warm, mineral-rich water of the natural geothermal pool at the Blue Lagoon. Spend many of your evenings gazing at the night sky in search of the elusive and dazzling northern lights. This trip departs November 11, 2019, and is seven days.
