What a week in Iceland
actually costs a family of four.
$6,000 to $9,000 all-in, flights included, for two adults and two kids flying from Boston to Reykjavik. That is a range to plan around, not a quote, and here is what is inside it.
One week, roughly $6,000 to $9,000.
Iceland's flight is short and relatively affordable, but food and activities run higher than in Southern Europe, which is what keeps the total in the same range as Greece despite the shorter, cheaper flight.
$9,500 to $14,000, not double.
Two weeks costs roughly 1.5 times one week, not double, since the flight is a fixed cost paid once regardless of trip length. Only lodging, food and activities scale with extra days.
What families ask us.
How much does a week in Iceland cost for a family of four?
Roughly $6,000 to $9,000 all-in, flights included, for two adults and two kids flying from Boston to Reykjavik. Season and how far ahead you book swing the number, so treat this as a range to plan around, not a quote.
Why is Iceland as expensive as Greece despite a shorter flight?
Food and activities cost more in Iceland than lodging does. The shorter, cheaper flight is offset by a generally higher day-to-day cost of living once you are there.
Does two weeks in Iceland cost double one week?
No, closer to 1.5 times, since flights are a fixed cost. Two weeks runs roughly $9,500 to $14,000.
