A Honeymoon For Nature Lovers: Iceland
If you love rugged natural landscapes, it’s time to book a cheap flight to Reykjavik and treat yourself to a change of scenery just a few hours from the UK.
It’s hard to find a more romantic country than Iceland, yet few couples choose it as a honeymoon destination. Travel between September to April for the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights from your hotel hot tub; the Blue Lagoon is another must-do romantic activity.
A Honeymoon for Literature Lovers: The Orient Express
For Agatha Christie fans, or simply anyone looking for a more unusual way to spend their honeymoon, this iconic train is the perfect solution. Head off on a train trip to remember aboard the Orient Express, a legendary and luxurious train which takes you across Europe in style. On board, every effort is made to make you feel at home while the stunning landscape of Europe passes by your window. Relax in a mysterious, luxurious and refined atmosphere and enjoy a honeymoon to remember.
A Honeymoon Away From It All: Lapland
Whether Swedish or Finnish, a trip to Lapland makes for a unique honeymoon destination. Here, traditional turquoise lagoons give way to frozen lakes, jet ski rides and dog sledding.
Imagine renting a cozy log cabin in the middle of beautiful natural surroundings, away from civilisation, and falling asleep at night next to the roaring log fire while the aurora borealis glows outside your window. The feeling of being cut off from the world, the unique light of the North and the plentiful winter activities will make sure your honeymoon remains a special memory to cherish forever.
