Iceland
For a once in a lifetime experience, venture into the land of ice and fire and experience some truly unique and stunning scenery. Famous for its dramatic landscape, Iceland offers the perfect setting for a different honeymoon that can include everything from mountains and glaciers, to the pure relaxation of immersing yourself in the world famous Blue Lagoon. One of the biggest draws is, of course, the chance to see the magnificent spectacle of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. This elusive display is visible for eight months of the year, although never guaranteed. Iceland is, however, one of the best places in the world to see it and if you are one of the lucky few who are privileged enough to witness this, what could be a better blessing for a long and happy marriage?
