Land of Fire & Ice item
Land of Fire & Ice

Starting bid

Imagine a place where the earth seems to be alive beneath your feet.

Where ancient Viking history meets a modern capital filled with art, culture, remarkable food, and colorful streets. Where rugged volcanic landscapes stretch toward the sea, glaciers slowly make their way toward the water, and steam rises from the earth as naturally as the morning sun.

For six unforgettable nights, a sophisticated northern capital becomes your home base. Explore its museums, galleries, boutiques, historic landmarks, and Old Harbor. Sample fresh seafood, irresistible baked goods, creamy ice cream, and rich, dark coffee. Across the bay, volcanic mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to a city unlike any other.

Then venture beyond the city and into a landscape shaped by forces far older than civilization.

Watch a geyser erupt from the earth. Stand before a magnificent waterfall that seems to disappear into the landscape. Walk among the rugged formations where two massive tectonic plates pull apart. Here, the boundary between earth and imagination becomes remarkably thin.

When adventure gives way to relaxation, retreat to warm geothermal waters beside the ocean. Immerse yourself in a seven-step spa ritual designed to restore both body and spirit. As steam rises around you and the landscape stretches toward the horizon, the ordinary world feels very far away.

And there is always more to discover.

Perhaps you’ll search the night sky for ribbons of green and gold dancing across the darkness. Perhaps you’ll venture onto the water in search of whales, walk across ancient ice, or simply follow the road and see where it leads.

This is a land of extraordinary contrasts—fire and ice, ancient and modern, rugged and refined.

Some destinations are meant to be visited. Others are meant to be discovered.

Your Experience Includes:

  • 6 nights in 4+ star accommodations for two
  • Daily breakfast
  • Expert-guided foodie tour
  • Expert-guided Golden Circle excursion
  • Sky Lagoon experience, including the 7-Step Spa Ritual
  • Professional travel specialist to arrange and book your journey
  • Three years to travel with no blackout dates
  • Options to add travelers or extend your stay are available upon request

The only question is: how much will you discover?


A Hilltop Escape for Four item
A Hilltop Escape for Four
$4,900

Starting bid

Imagine waking to golden sunlight spilling across rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, and fields of sunflowers.

High above the countryside, a centuries-old hilltop village waits to be explored. Stone streets wind through ancient walls, charming piazzas invite you to linger, and the scent of espresso drifts from cafés tucked into corners that seem untouched by time.

For four fortunate travelers, this is an invitation to slow down and experience the beauty of the Italian countryside.

Spend your days wandering through narrow medieval streets, discovering local artisans and small shops, pausing for a leisurely lunch, or simply taking in the extraordinary views from the hilltop. Beyond the village, the countryside unfolds in every direction—vineyards, cypress-lined roads, olive trees, and landscapes that have inspired artists, poets, filmmakers, and dreamers for generations.

And then there is the food.

Fresh pasta. Local cheeses. Handmade breads. Regional wines. Olive oil pressed from nearby groves. Long dinners where conversation stretches well beyond the final course.

This is not a place to hurry.

It is a place to linger over a glass of wine as the afternoon light changes. To discover a hidden trattoria. To wander without a destination. To watch the sun disappear behind the hills and understand why this corner of the world has captivated travelers for centuries.

Four guests. One extraordinary hilltop escape. And a setting where every day seems to have been painted in shades of gold.

Sometimes, the most memorable journeys are the ones that invite you to slow down.

Eight Days Where History Lives in the Mist

Imagine a place where ancient castles rise from the landscape, bagpipes echo through cobblestone streets, and legends have been passed from one generation to the next.

For two travelers, an eight-day, seven-night journey begins in a grand northern capital where centuries of history and modern culture exist side by side. Follow a local guide along a famous medieval thoroughfare, wander beneath the shadow of a magnificent castle, and discover the writers, monarchs, rebels, and storytellers whose lives helped shape this remarkable place.

Then leave the city behind.

Travel north toward rugged landscapes and legendary waters. Cruise across a mysterious freshwater lake surrounded by dramatic hills and ancient ruins, keeping a watchful eye on the water. Perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of the creature said to inhabit its depths. Perhaps you’ll simply discover that some mysteries are more enjoyable when they remain mysteries.

There will be time for a wee dram, too.

After four nights, continue by train to a famously welcoming city known for its music, culture, architecture, and warm hospitality. From here, journey into a landscape of towering mountains, quiet waters, and haunting beauty.

Pass through a valley steeped in stories of battles and ancient clan rivalries. Follow the road through the Western Highlands toward the shores of another legendary lake. Along the way, your guide will bring the landscape to life with tales of heroes, feuds, romance, and rebellion.

It is easy to understand why this dramatic scenery has provided the backdrop for stories brought to life on both the page and the screen.

Seven nights. Two cities. Ancient castles. Legendary waters. Highland landscapes. A little whisky. And enough stories to keep you talking long after you return home.

Some places have history. Others have legends. This journey has both.

Your Experience Includes:

  • 8 days / 7 nights in 4-star accommodations for two
    • 4 nights in the historic capital
    • 3 nights in the western cultural capital
  • Daily breakfast

Art, Passion & Island Escape

Begin where architecture becomes art and the streets seem to pulse with energy.

For three nights, immerse yourselves in a vibrant Mediterranean city where grand boulevards meet narrow lanes, centuries-old traditions mingle with contemporary culture, and the work of one visionary architect seems to appear around every corner.

Explore soaring towers and fantastical facades. Wander through a hillside park covered in colorful mosaics and sculptural forms. Discover the work of one of the world's most celebrated artists in the city he once called home.

And come hungry.

Here, food is part of the culture—fresh seafood, farm-grown produce, small plates meant for sharing, and flavors that invite you to linger. One evening, the pace changes. Cocktails and tapas lead to dinner as the lights go down and the rhythm begins. A passionate dance of movement, music, and emotion provides the evening's unforgettable finale.

Then trade the city streets for island breezes.

A short flight carries you to three more nights surrounded by turquoise waters, pristine beaches, charming restaurants, intriguing shops, and the relaxed sophistication of a Mediterranean island long favored by those who know how to enjoy the good life.

Set sail across a breathtaking bay aboard a private catamaran. Enjoy a Spanish barbecue, fresh salads, dessert, and a glass of sangria. Swim. Snorkel. Stretch out beneath the sun. Or simply let the warm breeze and gentle water remind you that there is absolutely no reason to hurry.

When evening arrives, the island takes on another personality. Dinner can become dancing, and dancing can become tomorrow morning.

This is a journey of contrasts: city and sea, art and appetite, passion and tranquility.

Six nights. Two unforgettable settings. One extraordinary Mediterranean escape.

Sometimes the best way to experience a place is to experience both sides of it.

Your Experience Includes:

Where Stone Meets Sapphire

Imagine a journey where medieval walls meet impossibly blue water, ancient palaces become part of the modern city, and waterfalls cascade into lakes so brilliantly turquoise they seem almost unreal.

For two travelers, this nine-day adventure begins in a sophisticated European capital where grand architecture, cobblestone streets, fashionable boutiques, and centuries of history exist comfortably alongside contemporary cafés and fine dining.

Then the landscape changes.

Journey into the heart of the countryside and discover a place that seems to have been imagined rather than built. Wooden pathways wind through a forest of extraordinary beauty, crossing above crystal-clear lakes and beside cascading waterfalls. The water shifts between shades of blue and green as sunlight moves through the trees.

It is the sort of place where you may find yourself wondering whether you have stepped into a fairytale.

From there, follow the road toward the coast.

A magnificent seaside city awaits, where an ancient Roman palace still forms the heart of everyday life nearly two millennia after it was built. Marble streets lead toward lively markets, intimate cafés, local boutiques, and the shimmering Adriatic. As the sun drops toward the horizon, settle in with a glass of wine and fresh seafood while the evening light turns the water to gold.

There will also be a day to leave the shore behind and take to the sea. Cruise toward sun-drenched islands surrounded by crystalline water, with food, drinks, and plenty of time to swim, explore, or simply let the Mediterranean do what it does best.

Your final chapter unfolds behind massive medieval walls overlooking the sea.

Walk ancient stone streets. Hear stories of maritime explorers, artists, and empires. Look across the horizon from centuries-old ramparts. Here, history is not confined to a museum—it surrounds you.

Eight nights. Three remarkable settings. Forests and waterfalls. Ancient stone. Sunlit islands. And one extraordinary stretch of coastline.

Some journeys take you somewhere new. Others make you feel as though you have discovered a world that has been waiting for you all along.

Your Experience Includes:

  • 9 days / 8 nights in 4+ star accommodations for two
    • 2 nights in the capital
    • 3 nights on the coast

There are places where history is remembered.

And then there are places where it seems to live around every corner.

Begin your journey in a city where ancient philosophers walked, legendary warriors dreamed of conquest, and monumental temples still rise above the modern world. Here, thousands of years of history unfold beneath the Mediterranean sun.

But the mainland is only the beginning.

Set sail toward an island unlike any other—a place of brilliant white architecture, dramatic volcanic cliffs, blue-domed villages, and waters that seem to stretch endlessly toward the horizon. Wander along the waterfront, discover archaeological treasures, browse shops filled with the work of local artisans, and settle in with a glass of wine as the sun sinks into the sea.

Fresh seafood. Warm evening air. Golden light.

This is the kind of place where dinner can easily become an entire evening.

Then continue by sea to another legendary island, where sophistication meets the Aegean. Spend your days on golden beaches, explore winding lanes filled with boutiques and cafés, and settle into a harborside taverna with a glass of ouzo while the world passes by.

When the sun goes down, the island comes alive.

Music. Dining. Dancing. Nightlife. And the unmistakable energy of a place where people have come to celebrate life.

After three nights among the islands, return to the mainland for a final two-night stay. Walk among monuments that have witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. Stand beneath ancient columns. Explore the birthplace of ideas that continue to influence the world today.

And as evening falls, watch an illuminated ancient citadel rise against a deep blue sky.

For a moment, the distance between the present and the age of heroes seems to disappear.

Eight nights. Three extraordinary settings. Ancient history. Island beauty. Exceptional food. Golden sunsets. And a journey worthy of its name.

Every great odyssey begins with a departure. The rest is up to you.

Your Experience Includes:

  • 9 days / 8 nights in 4+ star accommodations for two
    • 3 nights on a dramatic volcanic island

Imagine a place where green hills roll toward a wild Atlantic coast, ancient castles rise from the mist, and every village seems to have a story worth hearing.

For two travelers, your seven-night adventure begins in a lively capital where Georgian architecture, cobblestone streets, literary history, music, and unmistakable hospitality come together.

Spend a day exploring the city at your own pace. Visit a medieval castle. Wander through the halls of one of the world's great universities. Discover masterpieces in a national gallery. Or perhaps follow a different tradition entirely—with a perfectly poured pint or a taste of something distilled nearby.

Then leave the city behind.

Follow the coast along the Wild Atlantic Way, where the land meets the sea in dramatic fashion. Stand above towering cliffs as waves crash hundreds of feet below. Travel through a limestone landscape where rare wildflowers find their way through seemingly impossible terrain. Then arrive in a colorful coastal city known for its music, food, culture, and lively spirit.

Another day takes you north, where the landscape becomes even more rugged.

Explore a passionate, storied city by iconic black cab before continuing along the Antrim coast. Discover a medieval castle perched dramatically above the sea and walk among extraordinary basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic forces.

And then there is the south.

Visit a magnificent castle where centuries of visitors have leaned back over the battlements to kiss a legendary stone said to bestow eloquence upon those who dare. Continue through the countryside to an ancient fortress rising from the landscape and onward to a charming southern city known for its food, culture, and unmistakable character.

Everywhere you go, there are stories.

Saints and scholars. Kings and rebels. Poets and storytellers. Castles and ruins. Music in the pub. A warm welcome from a stranger. And landscapes so green they hardly seem real.

This is more than a journey through a country.

It is an invitation into a place where history, legend, landscape, and hospitality have been intertwined for centuries.

Some destinations are beautiful. Others have a little magic in them.

Your Experience Includes:

  • 8 days / 7 nights in 4+ star accommodations for two

Where Water, Art & Beauty Meet Imagine a place where water becomes a roadway, flowers become a landscape, and centuries-old traditions exist alongside some of Europe's boldest modern architecture.

Your six-night journey begins in a city where innovation is part of the landscape. Dramatic architecture rises along a lively waterfront, creating a striking contrast with the quieter traditions that have shaped this corner of Europe for centuries.

Then, in spring, something extraordinary happens.

Millions of tulips burst into bloom, transforming acres of gardens into a spectacular tapestry of color. Wander among endless rows of flowers and discover why this annual display has become one of the world's most celebrated signs of the season.

From there, follow the waterways into the countryside.

Pause where iconic windmills stand against the horizon, their massive sails a reminder of a centuries-old battle between the Dutch people and the sea. Continue to an extraordinary castle surrounded by manicured gardens, where turrets, towers, and grand halls seem to have been lifted from the pages of a fairytale.

Then arrive in a city where life moves at the pace of the water.

Canals wind between historic buildings. Bicycles glide through narrow streets. World-class art hangs inside magnificent museums. Cafés spill onto sidewalks, and every neighborhood seems to offer another inviting place to stop and linger.

As the day begins to fade, step aboard a private canal cruise.

Raise a glass. Enjoy small bites. Watch the warm evening light shimmer across the water as the city slowly reveals another side of itself.

This is a journey of contrasts—bold and traditional, urban and pastoral, structured and wonderfully relaxed.

Six nights. Two remarkable cities. Flowers, windmills, castles, canals, art, and architecture.

Where the Atlantic Meets the Vineyard Imagine a place where the Atlantic breeze drifts through colorful streets, the sound of soulful music fills the evening air, and every meal seems to come with a reason to linger a little longer.

For two travelers, this seven-night journey begins in a vibrant coastal capital where tiled facades, grand plazas, narrow lanes, and centuries of history create a city that feels both timeless and alive.

Venture beyond the city to a fairytale landscape of extravagant palaces, lush gardens, and dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic. Wander through a romantic royal estate perched among the hills, then stand at the westernmost edge of continental Europe, where the land gives way to an endless horizon. Continue to a glamorous seaside town where cafés, boutiques, and the ocean invite you to slow down.

Then follow the road north.

Your private journey through the countryside offers opportunities to discover storybook villages, dramatic Atlantic cliffs, sacred places, or a city laced with canals. The choice is yours.

Eventually, the landscape gives way to another remarkable city, built along the banks of a winding river and known for its colorful facades, winding lanes, exceptional food, and legendary wines.

Here, the journey becomes slower.

Travel into a valley where vineyards climb impossibly steep hillsides above the river. Taste wines produced from grapes grown on those sun-drenched terraces. Share a traditional lunch in a local village. Then drift along the river as green hills rise on either side, creating a landscape that feels almost too beautiful to be real.

As your journey draws to a close, return by train through the countryside, carrying with you the flavors, music, landscapes, and stories of a place that has a remarkable way of staying with you.

This is a journey of music and wine, castles and cliffs, rivers and ocean, tradition and discovery.
