July 6-13, 2027
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Iceland, imagine doing it yacht-style — sailing completely around the island on a small luxury ship with fewer than 300 guests.
This isn’t your typical big-ship cruise. Windstar’s yachts can slip into tiny harbors and remote fjords that the large ships can’t reach. You’ll wake up in a new port each day — fishing villages, black sand beaches, puffin cliffs — all without the crowds.
Onboard, it’s relaxed and upscale: spacious suites, incredible dining, and crew who know your name by day two. The price is higher, but so is the value. Iceland is expensive on its own, and this experience rolls together your hotels, transportation, and meals into one seamless, once-in-a-lifetime journey.
For travelers who want luxury, authenticity, and adventure all in one trip, Windstar’s Iceland cruise is absolutely worth it.
Sailing date: July 10-17, 2027

Next came Florence, with a short stop in Pisa which gave us that must-have Leaning Tower photo op, Next, was the hilltop town of Orvieto with incredible views and charming medieval streets.

On this unforgettable trip to France, we explored the iconic sights of Paris—from the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame to the Louvre and Versailles. But the heart of the journey was a meaningful side trip to Normandy, that I custom designed for a family and their 80-year-old mother whose father had landed on D-Day. We visited the beaches, memorials, and museums that brought her father’s story to life, including Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. It was a deeply personal and emotional experience, honoring a piece of family history while taking in the beauty and significance of this historic region.
In Denmark, a group of us explored the charming capital city of Copenhagen, taking in all the classic sights—from the colorful Nyhavn harbor and the Little Mermaid statue to the majestic Rosenborg Castle and the vibrant Tivoli Gardens. After soaking up the city’s culture, we hit the road for a scenic drive through the Danish countryside, passing through quaint villages, coastal towns, and rolling farmland. The journey took us all the way to Skagen at the northern tip of the country, where the North Sea and Baltic Sea meet. It was the perfect mix of iconic attractions and off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
