Readers have been sharing their recent travel adventures with us as they hike to cinematic locations in Los Angeles, bike along Oregon’s trails, explore California’s Desolation Wilderness, visit Kauai’s Napali Coast and offer tips on what to see and do at those destinations.
Today, we’re headed out to sea for a cruising adventure.
NORTHERN IRELAND: A recent cruise took San Jose residents Janis and Gary Gerlinger to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and ended with a four-night stay in Iceland. Among the trip highlights: Iceland’s Blue Lagoon and Northern Ireland’s dramatic Giant’s Causeway, pictured. “It was a fabulous trip,” Janis says. “We booked with Viking Ocean Cruises, and I would highly recommend them: only 935 passengers, all rooms have balconies, no casino, no sales pitches, very organized. You pay more, but you get more for your money. Very relaxing!”
Travel tip: “Upgrading your room allows you to sign up for specialty restaurants and shore excursions sooner.”
