Iceland capital Reykjavik is the newest city break destination from Liverpool operated by Jet2.

Airline and holiday operator Jet2 have launched a series of brand-new Iceland packages from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which are perfectly timed for travellers wanting to experience the Northern Lights.

City break destination Reykjavik is the world's northernmost capital, located on the cusp of the Arctic Circle, and provides the perfect base to see the Aurora Borealis, visit Iceland’s volcanic landscapes and take a trip to the famous Blue Lagoon hot spring.
