North America Tours for Solo Travelers
Ever thought about exploring Reykjavík, the world's northernmost capital, then sailing through Prince Christian Sound's ice-filled waters while watching glaciers calve in Skjoldungen Fjord? There's Viking history at L'Anse aux Meadows, plus relaxation in the Senses Spa aboard Scenic Eclipse. Iceland to Greenland is genuinely epic stuff on this ultimate Viking discovery.

A wonderful experience, to see wonderful places, with a wonderful guide. I couldn't have wished for anything better.
- 7 Day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Camping Tour
Absolutely fantastic! A special thank to our guide, Aurora, who made this experience unforgettable
- Explore the Canadian Rockies in 5 Days: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
I was expecting lunch at the Columbia Icefield Station, like last time I joined the tour, but ended up having lunch at the crossing and it was a 2nd rate fried chicken and meat balls. We stayed in a nice hotel in Jasper, Chateau Jasper but its far from the downtown area, where the restaurants and shopping stores are.
