The perfect chance to fully embrace the spirit of love and spend time together as man and wife, the Honeymoon is undoubtedly the most valued of all trips.

It is thought that this pleasing tradition derives from a rather unpleasant circumstance of Scandinavian origins. If a man loved a woman in the Viking era and their love was frowned on by her parents, thus denying their union, the man would have to resort to kidnapping and then to hide his beloved far from the village. Once the search for their daughter came to an end, the man, hoping her parents would see marriage as preferable to living without her, would send his Best Man, from where the custom derives, to begin negotiating for her hand.

Fortunately, the tradition has shed its sinister origins and newlyweds rarely have to rough it in hiding, unless, of course, the trip is booked late and without the assistance of a professional Travel Agent. To ensure that you don’t have to settle for second-best, it’s advisable to plan your trip as soon as the date of departure is known. This way you have a greater choice of destinations since an early booking secures a place on a popular flight. It also affords the chance to research a new country so you can get the most out of the trip.

No matter what kind of trip the couple have planned to mark the first steps into married life, a Travel Agent on our site will provide a valuable service and make sure that the risks associated with travel are considerably reduced. The earlier you book, the more likely you are to save money which would be better spent on cocktails and quiet romantic dinners. Booking early also affords you a greater choice of flights to popular destinations. If there’s any holiday on which you don’t want to have to compromise, the Honeymoon is it. Travel Agents are kept current with any political and meteorological occurrences and will be able to suggest comparable substitutes.
