Experience Northern Lights in Iceland with Icelandair

Iceland’s leading airline Icelandair is offering an incredible package deal to experience the Northern Lights in the country’s northern-most city, Akureyri.

The Northern Lights are without a doubt one of the Mother Nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles in the world. The natural light displays of the Aurora Borealis occur frequently in the Polar Regions, centred within a 2500 km radius of the geomagnetic pole. Iceland’s perfect location just below the Arctic Circle provides the ideal destination to view the Northern Lights – the Northern Lights can frequently be seen in Akureyri and surroundings from September through April on clear and crisp nights.

As part of the Northern Lights package deal, star-gazers will spend the first night in Iceland’s capital, at the newly renovated four-star Hotel Reykjavik, which includes free access to the relaxing Soley Natura Spa. Day two and three will be spent at the newly opened three-star Icelandair Hotel Akureyri.

Akureyri is a charming town situated on a stunning fjord surrounded by beautiful scenery, which is only 45 minutes flight from Reykjavik. The city provides an excellent base for winter and summer recreational activities such as downhill and cross country skiing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, hiking, super jeep tours, and ice skating.

The Northern Lights tour will be taking place during the first evening spent in Akureyri; no tour is the same as the experienced travel operator selects each unique destination based on the weather forecast for that evening – the tour boasts an 80 percent chance of seeing the Northern Lights, however, if the trip turns out to be unsuccessful, the tour operator will offer a second trip, free of charge.    

Icelandair’s holidays to Iceland offer great value for money, with select package deals costing less than domestic travel within Scandinavia.
