Why It's A Deal On a recent Kayak search, we found round-trip airfare between Boston and Reykjavik for $1,047 in early May (Icelandair). Add that to about $128 per person for a three-night stay at the CenterHotel Klopp, and you'd pay at least $1,175 for air and hotel alone if you booked on your own. For $88 less, this deal gets you the flight and three nights' hotel plus the whale-watching trip, steam bath admission, and Thingvellir tour.
More Upgrades to other CenterHotels are available: add $5 for the CenterHotel Plaza; $16 for the CenterHotel Arnarhvoll; or $20 for the CenterHotel Thingholt. Additional nights start at $45, or $85 for solo travelers.
