Adventures in Iceland and Greenland
The financial crisis in Iceland means great deals for travelers, like this Winter Madness Package to Iceland and Greenland for $1,149 per person for double occupancy. The price includes airport-hotel transportation, six nights in Iceland and Greenland, round-trip flights between ReykjavÃk, Iceland, and Kulusuk, Greenland, daily breakfasts and all taxes and fees. The package price goes down as the value of the Icelandic krona continues to depreciate: it’s about $300 cheaper than it was last week. International airfare is not included, but round-trip flights from New York in mid-January start at $818, according a recent Kayak search. Depart Tuesdays Jan. 6 to March 31, 2009. Package must be booked at least two weeks prior to departure. 866-949-0129.
Virgin Islands for less
Take a break from the cold for less with these perks from the U.S. Virgin Islands Hotel and Tourism Association. More than 20 participating resorts, throughout St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, are offering a fifth night free and a $300 American Express traveler’s check at check-in, adding up to an average savings of about $500 per couple. For example, a round-trip flight from LaGuardia and five nights at the three-star Sapphire Village Resort is $778 per person in mid-January. Additional taxes are about $159. Book by Dec. 10 and travel between Dec. 15 and March 31, 2009.
