Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
Hey Jace,
I am super pleased to present your stunning honeymoon itinerary for Iceland this November.
You start in beautiful Reykjavík where you will spend the first three nights, here you will experience some of the best Iceland has to offer from the South Coast and the Blue Lagoon before heading over to the Panorama Glass Lodge where you can watch the magnificent Northern Lights overhead for two nights.
With your rental car, self-driving brings so much freedom to explore and discover more of how incredible Iceland truly is. Coupled with your flights from New Orleans, everything is arranged for you from take-off to touch-down.
The Panorama Glass Lodge is the dreamiest way of seeing the Northern Lights and I want to be transparent (pardon the pun) availability was quite patchy over November which doesn't surprise me as it is a super popular time to go. I know this is one of the main reasons you are looking to visit so if you love what you are seeing I would recommend we move quickly to ensure you can tick off this bucket-list item!
I hope you enjoy having a look through this incredible trip and I would love to jump on a call for any questions you have.
Happy travels,
Shaye Jolley

If you want to take your Northern Lights watching to the next level, then the Panorama Glass Lodge in Iceland is it. A simple and clever design for a cabin which features an incredible view of the Icelandic landscape and night sky thanks to unique large glass windows that surround the bed.

The home features a small fully equipped kitchen, a dining table, a full-sized bathroom and custom-made king-sized bed. There are window blinds for the walls if more privacy is needed, while the glass roof remains exposed to the sky.
A hot tub located directly next to the lodge will keep you toasty while you stargaze and is a great option for adventurous honeymooners. The owners make sure to keep the hot tub heated to a blazing 38°C (102°F) so you can be sure it will keep you warm, even on the coldest nights.
