When you think of European cruise deals, you probably think of Mediterranean cruises, or cruises around the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic. But one of the most beautiful parts of Europe, and one that can be thoroughly enjoyed on a cruise ship, is Scandinavia.

Whether you pay the Scandinavian countries a visit by Summer or Winter, you won’t be disappointed. Just be prepared for a very cold Winter – they are famous for their freezing temperatures.

Scandinavia is the pinnacle of progress in many different ways. You’ll experience well developed urban areas where traffic isn’t a problem and that accommodate people from all walks of life. You’ll be able to enjoy carefully protected and maintained natural areas that are the pride of a people who, despite being modern in just about any way, also seek to preserve their cultural roots and their natural heritage.

In the Summer, the Northern Sea is still cold, but everything else heats up. Scandinavians are a friendly people, be careful not to party too hard with them.

The biggest cities in Somerset are Wells and Bath. Wells is an incredibly pretty town, one of the prettiest I’ve visited in my journeys around the British Isles. Wells is very well known for its Cathedral, built between 1175 and 1490. It’s an English Heritage site and has been described as the most poetic and romantic of English cathedrals.

The other major town, Bath, is also quite stunning. Bath has been an important town since the Roman times, and you can still visit the Roman baths in town. But the most stunning piece of architecture in the city is the Royal Crescent, a set of buildings designed in crescent shape.

If you have the use of your own car, or will be hiring a car, your accommodation can be just about anywhere. You can take advantage of the cheaper hotel rates outside of the city center and commute in, or be right on the beach if you prefer.

Many individuals will rely on taxis and public transportation to get around on their holiday. If this is the case, you will want to be in the city center. Easy and quick accessibility to your hotel can make the difference at the end of an exhausting day full of sightseeing. City public transportation also often stops after a certain time at night, which means you could be stranded if you plan on staying out late. Being within walking distance of your hotel is always a good idea.

If you’re set on a beach holiday, you should check out resorts or luxury hotels right on the coast. This will give you the easiest accessibility to the beach, without the need to commute from the city.

Luxury holidays are the ultimate lazy holidays. Whether you’re staying in luxury hotels Warwickshire or in some remote island of the Atlantic, the standard of excellent and of doing things for you will always be similar. Yes, they will do most things for you. And I don’t mean just tidying your room, which, by the way, is excellent. It’s not like I’m accustomed to leaving my room in a mess every day, but knowing that I’m coming back to my beautiful hotel room with a view and the bed will be made and everything will be clean gives me some sense of inner peace.

Then, of course, there’s the matter of the facilities and extras that a luxury hotel offers. I personally like to go on long weekends to nice hotels just for the experience of having a gym, a pool, a sauna and a spa all in the same place, and only an elevator ride away from my room. Pure bliss.

Luckily for the driving traveler, the internet exists. You can now book your car online and make sure it’s ready for you as soon as you step foot at the airport. And you’ll be able to find some cheap car hire deals that way too. You should, however, watch out for possible mix ups and some smaller rent a car companies are a little dodgy when it comes to foreigners.

Another cool use for the Internet is actually finding someone or a group of people who have done what you’re about to do and can give you advice on it. Hearing a local person talk about it is one thing, but having someone who was in the same situation as you talk about it and tell you how they survived it is a whole new level of helpful.

Petra was built by Nabataeans, a group of Semites who spoke Aramaic, as the center of their caravan trade. Additionally, it had a strategic location as the Nabataeans were able to control the main commercial routes that passed through the city to Bosra and Damascus in the North, to Aqaba and Leuce Come on the Red Sea, to Gaza in the west, and across the desert to the Persian Gulf. Petra is situated in the desert yet was able to flourish because of the Nabataeans’ ingenious control of its water supply from flash floods and a nearby stream which they controlled to create an artificial oasis. The Nabataeans constructed dams, water conduits, and cisterns, which enabled them to store water during droughts.

Visitors enter Petra either on horseback or by horse-drawn carriage through the Siq, a narrow passage that was naturally formed when the sandstone rocks split. Since the rocks are very high, they form a gorge that helps keep the heat from the sun at bay. At the end of the Siq is Petra’s most famous landmark – the beautiful Al Khazneh (Treasury). Apart from the Treasury, Petra also boasts of tombs and chambers on cliffs as well as an amphitheatre. Besides these, however, there is nothing much inside Petra as its interior is basically a square chamber that was carved into the cliff.
