About Me

Iceland feels like another planet — a world sculpted by glaciers, geysers, and volcanic fire. It’s where luxury and wilderness meet in harmony. I design custom Iceland trips that appeal to every traveler: couples seeking Northern Lights romance, families craving adventure, and groups wanting a mix of discovery and relaxation.

My itineraries include glacier hikes, geothermal spa days at the Blue Lagoon’s Retreat Spa, and stays at the country’s finest properties like ION Adventure Hotel, Deplar Farm, and Hotel Borg. I also arrange mid-range options that maintain comfort and design excellence.

Through Classic Travel, my clients receive Luxury Perks across elite global brands such as Aman, Auberge Resorts and Residences, Belmond Bellini Club, Capella, Classic Travel, Couture by Langham, Forbes Travel Guide Star Rated, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Four Seasons Private Jet, Hilton for Luxury, Hyatt Prive, IHG Destined, Jumeirah Passport to Luxury, Kempinski Club 1897, Leading Hotels Leaders Club, Mandarin Oriental FAN Club, Marriott-Stars-Luminous, One & Only Resorts and Villas, Pan Pacific Reserve, Preferred Platinum, Relais & Châteaux Preferred PP, Rocco Forte Knights, Rosewood Elite, Shangri-La Luxury Circle, Six Senses Resorts, SLH withIN, Virtuoso, Virtuoso IHG Luxlife.

For the adventurous, I plan ATV tours, glacier cave treks, or private Super Jeep excursions through the Highlands. For those seeking tranquility, I build wellness retreats centered on thermal baths, spa treatments, and luxury countryside lodges.

Iceland’s beauty is magnetic in every season — from the green moss of summer to the aurora-lit skies of winter. Booking through Classic Travel ensures exclusive privileges, curated local experiences, and the peace of mind that comes from expert planning.

Whether you want luxury or adventure — or both — I make Iceland’s extremes come together in one harmonious, breathtaking journey.

Multiple International Vacations
Reviewed By Mark M - Plantation, FL | Traveled to Europe
We have been using Athena for more than 3 years. Each time, she out does herself. She’s plans everything for us, we just show up at the airport and embark on our adventure. Athena treats us like family, she is the most caring and sympathetic person we ever met. My wife and I truly love planning our trips with her. During our trips, she will check in on us and make sure every is going as planned. She even has upgraded our plane tickets without any cost to us. She tells us which hotels, tourist attractions and restaurants are must sees. She’s also warns us with any current threat assessments issued by the State Department. We never travel without Athena!!

Every detail taken care of!
Reviewed By SKian - New York | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Athena was amazing right from the beginning of our planning. She took the time to understand what we wanted in a vacation, what mattered to us most, likes, dislikes and of course budget. Our travel packet contained every detail we needed to know while traveling, easy to follow and understand. Athena even checked in with us while on our trip. Absolutely amazing!!

"Thank you so much for your kind words! I love seeing my clients create so many memories on their dream trips. Your love for adventure and the outdoors also helps me learn about new places and want to go there myself as well. I am very grateful for your trust in me and look forward to booking future trips for you. Sincerely, Athena "
