Live Love Drink Travel is a boutique travel agency specializing in curated luxury vacations, hosted group travel, cruises, culinary experiences, and unforgettable bucket-list adventures. Led by certified travel advisor Taunya Altamirano, the agency creates personalized, concierge-level travel experiences for travelers who want more than just a vacation. They want something truly extraordinary!
One of their most exclusive upcoming experiences is the 2027 “Fire & Ice” Back-to-Back Adventure — an unforgettable hosted journey combining Norway’s spectacular Northern Lights with the magic of Europe’s Christmas Markets. Travelers can choose to experience either one unforgettable leg or combine both for the ultimate 15-day adventure.
Because 2027 is expected to be the peak year for Northern Lights viewing during the 11-year Solar Maximum cycle, demand for these small-ship expedition sailings is already incredibly high.
