Ian McIntosh's top travel deals - Europe Holidays

Very small update this week as I head home tomorrow from Barcelona after a 15 day cruise aboard Viking Neptune. And no, I did not ride a bike around Amsterdam!

Ian McIntosh's top travel deals - Club Med

We are on our way to Portugal aboard Viking Neptune after a bit of rocking and rolling last night. Beautiful sunny day at sea today. Perfect really when you add the amazing level of service Viking offers. We are relaxing on lounges on deck 7 overlooking the sea - you can always find comfy corners on these ships that are never crowded.

CLUB MED is a blast from the past  - right now during the Early Bird Sale save 20% on all inclusive holiday packages at the new Borneo resort - or how about Bali?

Wandering about Bergen today - but have to be back on board Viking Neptune by 5pm. Our first port will be Amsterdam. A UNESCO World Heritage City, Bergen is the perfect starting point for day trips to the fjords. Activities include everything from tours to mountain and glacier hiking, skiing in some of Norway’s best terrain, biking , or white-water rafting.

            

EES DELAYS. The new EES immigration system in Europe is still causing extensive delays - so leave plenty of time for your transfers. Note also that US entry requirements are strict. Authorities have broad powers to decide if you're eligible to enter and may determine that you are inadmissible for any reason under US law. Check US entry, registration, transit and exit requirements very carefully.
