For £299 per person, this package from Icelandair Holidays combines a Reykjavik city break with a hunt for one of nature's most spectacular sights -- the Northern Lights. The 3-night trip, with accommodation at a 4-star hotel, is now £140 cheaper than usual.

Guests will stay at the Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Natura, a 4-star property 20 minutes' walk from the city centre and close to the Perlan, a landmark building in Reykjavik.

Depart from London Heathrow on 6-10, 12-16, 19-26, 28-30 January; 2, 4-6, 10, 23-25, 27-28 February; 2, 4-5, 7, 9, 11-16, 18-26 March; 3-4, 11-12 April, 2013.

Solo travellers can get this deal for a £40 supplement.

There are also limited Sunday departures available in January from London Gatwick for four night stays, for the same price.

The Daily Telegraph says: "If you have always wanted to see the Northern Lights, this is undoubtedly the time," with 2013 forecasted to be a peak time for sightings.

The expertly guided Northern Lights tour is approximately three hours long -- the route will depend on forecasts and where sightings are most likely to occur. If the trip is unsuccessful, guests are able to join the following night's tour for free.

A 23kg checked baggage allowance is included, as are complimentary non-alcoholic drinks during the flights. Transfers are not included, but can be added for £27, return.
