Canadian interest in Iceland vacation packages is climbing as 2027 planning gets underway. According to Milesopedia, travel agencies have reported a marked rise in requests for Iceland, Norway, northern Canada and the Alps, as travellers increasingly chase cooler, less crowded destinations over traditional sun-and-sand itineraries.
Iceland offers something a growing number of Canadian travellers are actively searching for: dramatic landscapes, a short flight window from eastern Canada, and an itinerary that feels far from ordinary without requiring weeks away from home. Glaciers, geothermal pools, waterfalls and the chance to see the Northern Lights all sit within a few hours drive of Reykjavik, which makes Iceland one of the easiest big adventures to pack into a single trip.
A typical Iceland vacation package bundles flights, accommodation and a handful of guided excursions, such as a glacier walk, a Golden Circle tour or a soak in a geothermal lagoon. Because weather and road conditions can change quickly outside the capital region, many travellers prefer a planned itinerary with a local guide rather than a fully independent self-drive trip, especially outside the summer months.
Van Sun Travel does not currently operate packaged tours in Iceland, but our strength is the same kind of guided, small-group adventure travel that makes an Iceland trip memorable. If dramatic landscapes and close wildlife encounters are what draw you north, our Kenya Wildlife and Culture Safari and Uganda Gorilla Trekking Adventure offer the same private, carefully planned approach to exploring a dramatic landscape up close.
