Award-winning novelist and travel memoirist Mary Morris, a neophyte cruise traveler, joined Silversea’s Silver Moon from Iceland to the U.K. The trip changed her outlook on life and travel. Could that happen to you too?
Just Back From Silver Moon in Northern Europe and the U.K.
By Mary Morris
For the better part of a year, we had been dreaming of our journey on Silversea. We had spent hours mulling various itineraries. We were new to cruise travel yet had no idea what it might be like to be at sea for two weeks or more. Would we love it? Would we lose our minds?
They’re called fairies, gnomes or the hidden people. Whatever the name, these mysterious creatures play a role in the lives of Icelanders. Read about the job of elf arbitrator, scope out where to see their homes, then decide for yourself.
