Be one of the first to step aboard the Golden Horizon and explore the land of ice and fire with one of our favourite presenters
With landscapes that wouldn't look out of place on an alien
planet, the towering waterfalls, mountains, glaciers and volcanoes
of iceland make it a stunning destination. Making this trip even
more memorable will be sailing there in luxury aboard tradewind
Voyages' Golden Horizon, the world's largest square-rigged sailing
ship.
You'll begin your 15-day voyage in Greenock, on the coast near
Glasgow, before enjoying the romance of time gone by and all the
creature comforts of the magnificent Golden horizon on your way to
the land of fire and ice. During your trip you'll be joined by Kate
humble, who in a varied career with the BBC has presented
tomorrow's World and Top Gear but now specialises in wildlife and
science programmes, with credits including Volcano Watch,
Springwatch and, lately, Animal Park with Ben Fogle. Kate will meet
you at Reykjavik's fascinating Lava Centre, where you can find out
all about iceland's volcanic make-up. There Kate will host a
Q&A session.
Your volcano experiences don't end there, though. You'll visit
the active Katla and Hekla volcanoes, as well as the infamous
Eyjafjallajokull - which last erupted in 2010, blasting out an ash
cloud that shut down air travel across most of Europe - and get the
chance to step inside a lava tunnel. The voyage also includes
optional excursions for you to personalise your holiday**.
