Sweden : Icehotel & Iceland

Departures: January - March Duration: 7 nights Price: from £1,584

There is a popular misconception that the ICEHOTEL is in Iceland. It is of course in Swedish Lapland and Iceland is a very different kettle of (dried) fish! Increasingly, when people have had this pointed out, we’ve been asked ‘why can’t we visit both?’ Well now you can! This is a fantastic winter break with wide appeal, aimed at friends, families and couples. It can be whatever you want it to be, with a huge amount of optional activities and excursions.
