New destination for 2026: Iceland
This November, travel somewhere that feels truly otherworldly. Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, creative food culture, and deep connection to nature set the stage for a week unlike any other. From Reykjavík to the countryside, this journey blends hands-on cooking, local stories, and the quiet magic of winter—made even more unforgettable if the Northern Lights appear overhead.
November 6 - November 12, 2026
Soak, Explore, and Slow the Pace
Settle into Icelandic life the way locals do—by soaking in geothermal baths surrounded by stark, beautiful scenery. Between steamy pools and crisp winter air, you’ll explore Reykjavík on foot, venture out along the Golden Circle, and experience how Iceland balances modern culture with ancient landscapes. This is immersive travel designed to be savored, not rushed.
A Culinary Culture Shaped by Nature
Iceland’s food tells a story of ingenuity and place. Expect pristine seafood, free-roaming lamb, dairy traditions like skyr, and baked goods rooted in centuries of home cooking. You’ll taste both classic and contemporary Icelandic dishes, guided by chefs who understand how climate, geography, and history shape every bite.
From Greenhouse to Table
One of the most surprising meals of the week happens inside a geothermal tomato greenhouse, where year-round growing defies the latitude. It’s a vivid reminder of Iceland’s creativity with food and energy—and a highlight that perfectly captures what this trip that has been curated by Onward Travel does best: connecting culture, cuisine, and place in ways you’ll remember long after returning home.
