From the founder
Why we love Norway
Gordon
Ireland has been one of the most in-demand programs in our travel community. So what is it about Ireland that captivates the imagination of so many of us?
The humour and charm of the Irish people is certainly part of it, as well as the subconscious pull of heritage for those of us with Irish descendants. And of course there are the landscapes, and that marvellous, iridescent shade of green that covers the hills dotted with sheep.
It's that green that stands out most to me. There is something about the aliveness in those shades that speaks to the mysterious allure of Ireland, where the stories of the fae and other elemental energies have seeped into the landscapes and communities across the island. To hear it from the Irish, they are not just stories; they are often presented more as memories.
Perhaps Ireland is one of those places where you can reawaken that child-like sense of wonderment that, just maybe, there really is magic out there in the world. After all, this is why we travel, is it not?

The fjords were beyond anything I'd pictured, and the pace meant we actually took them in.
Every hotel was in the right spot. We walked everywhere.
Our host made the ferry day feel like a party.
Practicalities
Things you'll want to know
Is it expensive?
Norway is one of the dearest countries in Europe. Most meals are included, so the surprises are small.
Will I get seasick?
The fjords are sheltered and calm. The open-sea stretch is short.
What should I pack?
Layers, a rain jacket and good walking shoes. It can be 25°C and 10°C on the same day.
