DEAL OF THE MONTH
Hot Times in Iceland
The city of Reykjavík is internationally renowned for its nightlife--an especially noteworthy feat considering the city has fewer than 200,000 residents. And yet, every weekend, visitors from all over the world join locals to crawl down Laugavegur Street from one bar to another. This three-night Icelandair package is designed with revelers in mind. In addition to airfare and accommodations, it covers a three-course dinner and entry to the ice bar at Restaurant Reykjavík, a late-morning tour to geysers and the Gullfoss waterfall, an afternoon horseback-riding expedition, and some time to recuperate in between it all with an evening soak in the therapeutic waters of the Blue Lagoon.

Icelandair flights from Boston or New York, transfers, three nights at the Icelandair Hotel Loftleidir, breakfast daily, and more. When: Until Mar. 31 ($927); Apr. 1-May 31 ($1,029).
