Iceland’s Magical Northern Lights

Islands of New England

The “land of fire and ice” is a place of many wonders, including the rare opportunity to see the spectacular aurora borealis – or northern lights. Take an exhilarating evening northern lights cruise. Travel to the “Golden Circle,” home to many of Iceland’s most renowned natural wonders. Gaze at the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall–one of the world’s most incredible cascades. Walk on a black volcanic sand beach. See a glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs. Relax in the warm, mineral-rich water of the natural geothermal pool the Blue Lagoon. Spend your evenings gazing at the night sky in search of the elusive and dazzling northern lights.

New England’s miles of sandy beaches, majestic coasts, and rolling surf invite relaxation. The Islands of New England tour spends eight days exploring New England’s charms, from the cobblestone streets of Nantucket to a dry harvest cranberry bog.

In Provincetown, the choice is yours – set out on a whale watch cruise or embark on a scenic adventure through the iconic sand dunes of the Cape. Visit Boston and Providence, the Gilded Age mansions of Newport, the lively artist colony of Provincetown, and the beautiful islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

Complete your New England experience as you indulge in a traditional seafood and lobster feast.

FUNDAMENTALS OF CNC MACHINING CERTIFICATE SEE PAGE 13 FOR PROGRAM DETAILS

The thing that stood out the most was [the instructor] John’s experience and how you could learn from it. That was a big benefit of taking the class. Hearing people talk about it and how it can be used in real life was awesome. I have already recommended this class to friends.

You can walk out of there and get a job.

The class was very beneficial in that aspect.”
