Iceland is enjoying a turn in the spotlight, as the island nation has suddenly surged in popularity among worldwide travelers. The country has become a hot spot, thanks in part to a high-visibility starring role in a famous pop culture phenomenon.

This means it has skyrocketed to the top of the list of in-demand destinations for the elite VIP crowd and savvy in-the-know travelers.

For those eager to check out this must-see destination first hand, Travel Impressions now has a variety of incredible experiences to offer. This is the perfect chance to immerse yourself in the culture, scenery and environmental marvels you can only find in Iceland.

Easy to Access

Iceland may seem like it's in a whole different world, but it is surprisingly easy to reach. It requires a flight of just a few hours from east coast departure cities in the U.S. That makes it one of Europe's most accessible destinations.

It's also at the top spot of the Global Peace index.

Go Inside the World of Game of Thrones

A big reason why Iceland has suddenly become an in-demand destination? It serves as the backdrop for the smash hit TV series Game of Thrones. Many of the show's scenes are filmed here, offering viewers around the globe the chance to get a close-up glimpse at all of the beauty this region has to offer.

To appeal to the show's fans, Travel Impressions offers a partially-guided multi-day tour, dubbed the Game of Thrones - Iceland: Beyond the Wall experience.

Spanning five days, this excursion gives participants the chance to explore the "Ice Wall," "North of the Wall," and other backdrops they will recognize from the show. They will be escorted by Jon Thor Benediktsson, a local guide who also served as a guide for the show's crew.

Incredible Pick for Travelers Seeking Adventure

Iceland has plenty of highlights that will appeal to all travelers, even those who have never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones. The nation boasts breathtaking natural beauty, with landscapes that include lava fields, volcanoes, beaches and lagoons. Visitors can check out Europe's largest glacier, explore volcanic caves or gaze at the northern lights.

Travel Impressions Provides Great Options

Travelers eager to explore this land of wonder have several great options. Travel Impressions has teamed up with Iceland's largest destination management company, a subsidiary of Icelandair Group, to offer an array of independent FIT and escorted tour options.

While the independent FIT experiences are a great option, travel agents can also offer their clients six escorted tour selections via Travel Impressions. The Arctic Powers and Northern Lights tour immerses travelers into the spectacular exhibition presented by Mother Nature.

The six-day Western Wonders and Hot Springs Tour, meanwhile, provides the opportunity to explore some of the land's other amazing natural treasures.

There is even a nine-day tour for those who want to experience all of the best of Iceland and maximize their adventure.
