‘Incredible Stopover’ Lets You Experience Iceland on Your Way to Continental Europe

Published: July 25, 2015 | By: American Luxury Staff

With so little time away from work, many are looking to make the most of their vacations. Icelandair’s new Incredible Stopover is ensuring they do exactly that. Those traveling from North America or Canada now have the option to take a stop on their way to one of 25 cities in Europe.

This is much better than an airport layover though. The company is offering 360-degree views of the Icelandic coastline, Mýrdalsjökull glacier and a massive lava arch reaching out to the sea. Flyers can select from two separate packages, but both feature stays in a suite at Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina and one night in a century-old lighthouse with breathtaking views.

The full package is $3,500 and includes activities like a private guided tour from Reykjavik to the lighthouse in a lush Super Jeep, a helicopter tour of the city with Norðurflug Helicopter Tours, hiking the Sólheimajökull glacier, traversing several local waterfalls, a visit at Reynisfjara’s black beach and a trip to the Fontana Spa. Even if you don’t know much about the area, it just sounds beautiful.

For $2,350, the light package offers travelers a one-night stay at the hotel and lighthouse, a trip to the Fontana Spa and complimentary airport transfer. The limited-time Incredible Stopover packages are only running from September 1, 2015 to November 1, 2015 and can accommodate groups of four. One thing’s for sure—once you experience this transatlantic stopover, all airport layovers following will feel quite sub-par.
