3 nights - Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina - Reykjavik

This Iceland & New York 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.

3 nights - The Edison Hotel - New York

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.

How to spend a stopover in Iceland

Iceland is a destination that is bucket list worthy and easily achievable. Not only because it is just two and a half hours from the UK, but also because it’s perfectly located for a stopover on your way to the USA or Canada.

Iceland’s national flag airline, Icelandair , offers daily flights from Glasgow to some of North America’s most popular tourist destinations such as New York City, Boston, Washington DC and Orlando. All flights are via Iceland and offer the opportunity for a stopover of up to seven nights at no additional cost. This makes Iceland ideal for a two-stop holiday – here is how to make the most of your stopover.

Get cultured in Reykjavik

Iceland’s capital offers culture by the bucket load and – even better – its compact size means you’ll easily fit a lot in without too much effort. The city is full of museums, ranging from The National Film Archive of Iceland to The Settlement Exhibition, featuring the oldest relics of human habitation in Reykjavík. There’s also no shortage of performance art either – with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Icelandic Dance Company, the National Theatre, and the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, all of impeccable quality.

Relax in the Blue Lagoon

If you’re craving a bit of downtime before your North American adventure, then stop by the Blue Lagoon in the southwest of the island. The water has a unique composition, featuring the three active ingredients Silica, Algae & Minerals (all of which combine it to give the lagoon its vivid blue colour). The temperature varies between 37°C and 40°C, and is created by the merging of freshwater and seawater at 2,000 metres below the surface. The lagoon and the surrounding spa are very popular with tourists and locals alike, and advance booking is recommended.

Game of Thrones

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, then you probably already know that Iceland is used for most filming that takes place Beyond the Wall. The filmmakers shot scenes across the country, but some of the most memorable locations were Dimmuborgir (Wildling Camp), Vatnajökull (general backdrop for most of the glacial scenes), Höfðabrekka (Frostfang Mountains) and Grjótagjá (a spring cave you’ll recognise from Season 3). Thingvellir National Park was also used as a backdrop for mid-Westeros when Arya and Sandor Clegane’s were moving from village to village.

Witness the Northern Lights

This natural phenomenon is one of the biggest reasons many holidaymakers make the trip across to Iceland. At their most visible from September to mid-April and away from the city lights, an appearance from the aurora borealis isn’t guaranteed but anyone who has been lucky enough to witness them will tell you that it is worth the journey.
