Mystical yet mesmerising, exciting yet accessible, the Nordic countries are some of the world’s most compelling places to visit. Linked together both culturally and in the case of Sweden, Norway and Finland, geographically, these countries make perfect partners for a multi-destination holiday.
Sweden, Norway and Denmark are the true Scandinavian trio, though Finland physically borders Norway and Sweden above the Arctic Circle leading to a common perception that it too is Scandinavia. All four countries share similar characteristics as well as unique individual charms.
Rail and ferry links provide plenty of scope for knitting together an itinerary taking in everything from scenic fjords to wild fells and historic cities. Choose to journey by train from the UK through Denmark and perhaps taking in Estonia too, or let us tailor make a Scandinavian odyssey including a voyage along Norway’s coast, the world-famous shipping route between Bergen and Kirkenes.
Take a look at our collection of multi-destination holidays in the Nordics and contact our team to make your Nordic odyssey a reality.
It’s not just about where you go, but how you experience it. I’m here to turn that trip into an adventure you’ll cherish.
