Northern Lights
This is a clear winner, over 50% of you want to see this amazing spectacle. And those of you who have absolutely loved the experience, many taking Norwegian or Arctic cruises to do this.

A weekend in Venice
A weekend in VeniceIs this choice a sign that we are all romantics, dreaming of St Mark’s Square and gondola trips, whilst being serenaded by a real Italian? It is a city to wander in, and meander around to sample authentic food and catch glimpses of local life. The entire city is a World Heritage Site, with breath-taking architecture and artwork to marvel at around each corner and across every bridge. Visit through www.kirkerholidays.com.
