Iceland & New York

Itinerary

• 3* Fosshotel Baron, Reykjavik - 3 nights

  This twin-centre adventure starts with your flight from the UK to Iceland. On arrival, make your way to your chosen accommodation. A Nordic island nation, Iceland is defined by its dramatic landscape combining hot springs, lava fields, volcanoes, and geysers. The capital of Reykjavik is home to the National and Saga museums which trace Iceland's Viking history. The Blue Lagoon is a popular spa destination with a sensational outdoor lagoon of mineral-rich waters in a lava field. Visit Thingvellir's rugged volcanic national park for a look at rocky scenery, ridges, and lakes; and the Golden Circle, which is a highly popular sightseeing route for tourists. The famed Gullfoss is a stunning sight; watch its cascade along a bend of the Hvita River, or spend your time at Jokulsarlon to marvel at the beautiful glacial lake with floating icebergs and unique wildlife sightings. The 1986 cathedral Hallgrimskirkja emanates the modern culture of Iceland and you'll be able to catch sightings of puffin birds and icy cliffs at Reynisdrangar. Perfect for hiking or camping, Vatnajokull National Park is your go-to for fresh air and brisk walks.

• 4* Truss Hotel Times Square, New York - 4 nights

  Make your way from Iceland to New York, where you'll check in to your chosen accommodation. The city that never sleeps, New York, is among the world's major commercial, financial, and cultural centres. Admire the tremendous skylines; ones that you'll recognise from far and wide. Gaze at the Empire State Building in awe or enter to discover the art deco exhibits and observatories. The iconic Statue of Liberty can be admired with a boat tour across the waters; be sure to have your camera at the ready. Take in the fresh air of the city as you stroll through the green urban oasis of Central Park. Indulge in a spot of retail therapy at Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Century 21, and Chelsea Market. Catch a mesmerising show on Broadway or admire citywide vistas from the famous Brooklyn Bridge. You'll be completely spoilt for choice in the hustle and bustle of Times Square; world-class clubs, chilled hangouts, interactive museums, and stop-by eateries line the iconic area. Don't forget to stop by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and pay your respects.
