I just re-read your trip report, and it looks like they changed the first few days of the trip from what you did--we stayed at the hotel in Reykjavik for 4 nights before heading up north. We still visited the same Golden Circle places, but I guess maybe the glacier we hiked was closer because...

Oh! You're the one I have to thank for the Viking photos idea! I had made the reservation 3 years ago and I honestly didn't remember where I had even first learned about them. I did purchase all of these but adding the watermarked versions here so everyone knows were to get them :) We had...

A little over two years after we had originally planned to do our ABD Iceland trip we finally got to go. It was a wonderful trip, despite some rough weather conditions and coming home with Covid. I thought I might try to share some helpful info for other planning to take the same tour while...

We are on the Aug 5 Iceland tour and I just got both boxes today (the bags and the pins). They even included my insider 10 pins.

We were scheduled for a late August Iceland trip and apparently there weren't enough guests so they moved us to an earlier August date. So I'm guessing if your tour wasn't going to run you would have heard already.

Thanks! We are still holding a summer 2022 ABD reservation for Iceland. It may go!

Hope all goes well! Our summer 2020 ABD Iceland was cancelled and I finally rebooked for summer 2022. Hoping all is well to go by then.

My understanding of the private adventures is that you only have local guides, and they stay in the city they start in, so they don't move with you. But I could be wrong.

We are having this problem, as I used some rebate/prepaid cards to partially pay for our trip and no longer have the cards. So I have some money sitting in limbo that I will have to apply to another ABD.

Wow, I hadn't checked in here for a while and I completely missed seeing the 2022 adventures. Which is crazy since we have taken 10+ ABDs, and have a travel agent. I can't believe I didn't get a single email letting me know or even see it on Facebook.

Unless they are 16+... mine will both be vaccinated before my husband and I because they are lifeguards.

And I *just* cancelled my ABD Greece trip for June right before I heard this. Maybe I should have waited it out. I just didn't want to PIF and then have it cancelled again...

Gosh, I hadn't even thought of this! But I guess if my June Greece trip gets cancelled I can apply the credit to my NZ flights. I'm not feeling too confident about them letting us in by December, but we'll see!

I know I'm a little late to the comments here, but having done both cruises and many ABDs, I would consider the ages of your youngest two in the decision. We did cruises when my girls were younger because at the time the minimum age for ABDs was 8, and while they (ABD) will now allow some...

We are booked for June 2021... fingers crossed it will go!

Thanks for all of the input on New Zealand. We are booked for the Dec 2021 trip, but from what I'm reading here it might be prudent to switch to another trip.

We have done the Palace on Wheels and Golden Chariot trains in India. It was a great experience! Rather like a cruise on rails, with all of the excursions and guides included. Each train car (with 4 rooms) had a living room and two staff members to wait on you. When we went on the Palace on...

Thanks for all of the input on this! A few people have mentioned 2 days on the mainland, and from what I see from reading the itinerary, it's really only day one the ground. The rest of the time is travel there and boarding the ship. I don't think there's a lot of wasted time there. Having...

The cabins available to book all have balconies, so they aren't selling interior cabins. I had my travel agent inquire about the trip size and they told us it will be capped at around 170 and the ship will be all ABD. They are planning to stagger the excursions throughout the day so that...

I agree. I feel like my two cancelled 2020 ABD trips were handled as I would have expected. I got my money back for both, and I was able to get my airfare (purchased separately) and pre-travel plans refunded on my own, even without insurance. I was supposed to to go Italy in March, and...
