Good day!
I wanted to take a minute and share my trip with you so I can show you how I normally do my travels. Every trip is different, However, I thought this would give a good idea of how I try to see the most during every trip.
Today, I will be going over my trip starting in London/Southhamton and going to Iceland. You can review the itinerary here: Celebrity Cruise to ICELAND
I chose to fly from MCO, not really ideal for me, but the flight times and prices were too good to pass. I will fly on Aug 26 overnight, landing on 8/27 at 9am. My goal is to be at my Hotel near tower of London by noon, however, that is all up to customs.
On the 27th, I left my afternoon free. I am going to try and do a 5pm bike ride around the Thames, however, this may get cancelled if my foot does not improve. If it does get cancelled, I will find a nice pub or something to familiarize myself with London a bit.
The morning of the 28th I have a full day tour. Leaving from London, I will have a stop at Winsor and then Buckingham palace. I wasnt sure what I wanted to see or do this day, so I chose these. I will let you know later what I thought of the locations and the tour. I left this evening open.
On the 29th, I have a train leaving to Southhampton at 11am, so, I booked a tower of london tour at 8am. That tour is roughly two hours. After that tour, I will immediately go to the train station and take the tour hour journey to the ship. The train will be around 1h:25 in length and then finding a cab to the ship should only take roughly 20 minutes. I should be on the ship by 1.
The next two days are at sea where I will do some RR and try and catch up on work.
On Sept 1 I have an excursion with Celebrity taking me out to the VOK baths, a hot spring. I look foreward to this. Quick tip, book early to get the shore excursions you want. This had one spot left and I booked a year in advance.
On sept 2 - Horse and dairy farm on a cruise line excursion.
On sept 3, we arrive in Reykjavik around 11am. I have filled this day as much as I possibly good. I haver a golden circle tour at noon that is around 7 hours and then at 10p I have a Northern lights Yacht tour for about 2 hours. We are overnight here, so the next AM I have a city tour at 8am and we leave around noon. I booked these through Viator.
Sept 4 - City of Reykjavik with Celebrity excursions
Sept 5 at sea
Sept 6 - Belfast - Giants causeway tour with Shore excursions group.
Sept 7 sea
Sept 8 - St. Peters port - German Occupation history tour (this may get changed to a Castle visit)
Sept 9, return early. Train or bus to gatwick. Flying out at 2:30p
I will be working and available during this time so do not hesitate to reach out! I will do my best to help you and get you booked!
