Kontiki and Voigt Travel Return to Winter Wonderland in North Iceland
North Iceland is getting another dose of winter tourism this season, with both Kontiki and Voigt Travel back in the picture. Last Sunday, Swiss travel agency Kontiki kicked off its winter flights from Zurich to Akureyri, giving the region’s local travel scene a noticeable shot in the arm.
This is Kontiki’s second winter running trips to North Iceland, building on what worked well in its 2024 schedule. For six weeks, from February through March, the agency will run weekly flights to Akureyri — giving travellers a proper stretch of time to take in everything the north has to offer in winter.
Dutch travel agency Voigt Travel, which has been coming here since 2019, got its own season underway earlier this January. They have ten flights planned across the winter, and most of their visitors tend to stay for a full week.
The return of these services is good news for local tourism operators. It also comes as easyJet adds to the mix with scheduled direct flights from both London Gatwick and Manchester, meaning North Iceland is drawing visitors from more directions than ever this winter.
