Mix it up with a private event in Tarragona, Spain
Giants, Big-Heads & Human Towers? Sounds like our kind of fun!
Imagine walking into a private event at the spectacular Roman Amphitheater of Tarragona, built in the first century A.D.
Sangria in one hand and Catalan tapas in the other, guests are wowed by the incredible tower of people standing one on top of the other, often ranging a story or more high. Known as a castell, this 18th century tradition is now on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List.
The entertainment continues with a performance from outlandish Catalan Giants and Big-Heads. Not sure what we mean? Imagine larger than life papier-maché figures and festival performers with huge heads that are worn on the head and shoulders of a normal sized person.

After leaving the boats and entering into the main hall, you enjoy a traditional Norwegian fare like lefse, a soft Norwegian flatbread made with potatoes, flour, butter, and milk, and drink sparkling wine while being entertained by local singers and dancers.
Match it with an 11-day Lands of the Midnight Sun Cruise
They say that the best things come in small packages. And boy, does this package pack a punch.

Mix it up with a an Evening in Ephesus
No one who has seen the magnificent Celsus Library of Ephesus will ever forget it. Enjoy a private dining experience in the Library of Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will walk the Marble Road to the Library that housed more than 12,000 scrolls nearly two millennia ago. Your five-course, white-glove-service dinner will be in the courtyard in front of the Library. The spectacularly illuminated façade allows you to examine the statues in their niches and the elegant details of the frames. Dinner under the stars will be accompanied by a trio from the Aegean Chamber Orchestra.
Just as you’d expect. No crowds. No rush. Delight in every detail.
