From grand royal squares to the harbour setting of the Little Mermaid, the tour reveals different sides of the Danish capital. Your guide adds context to the buildings and stories that have shaped Copenhagen’s public life.

Discover Stockholm with a Local Specialist on a panoramic tour and visit Stockholm City Hall. Its brick tower and waterside position make it one of the capital’s defining landmarks, while its ceremonial rooms host the annual Nobel Prize banquet.

See how the city spreads across islands and waterways, earning its affectionate nickname, “Beauty on the Water”. The City Hall visit gives a closer perspective on Swedish civic life and the traditions surrounding the Nobel celebrations.

Sail overnight across the Baltic Sea from Stockholm to Helsinki, travelling between two Nordic capitals by ferry. From the deck, take in the changing coastal scenery as the ship leaves Sweden’s island-studded capital behind.

The crossing is both an overnight journey and a chance to experience the region from the water. Wake on the approach to Finland, with Helsinki’s harbour marking a fitting arrival in a city whose character is closely connected to the sea.

Explore Helsinki with a Local Specialist, seeing the clean-lined architecture of Finlandia Hall alongside the Senate area and the colourful stalls of Market Square. The tour introduces Finland’s capital through its civic spaces and lively waterfront setting.

Visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi and meet its famous resident at the Arctic Circle. See Santa’s office and post office, where letters addressed to him arrive from around the world.

Visit the North Cape Visitor Centre and take in the cliffs at Nordkapp, reached from Honningsvåg on Norway’s Magerøya island. Look out over the open sea from a headland often described as the “Edge of the World”.

The exposed coastal setting conveys the scale and remoteness of the European Arctic. Changing light across the water and cliffs makes the viewpoint distinctive, particularly in the long northern evenings.

Get acquainted with Tromsø on an orientation of northern Norway’s largest city, set on the island of Tromsøya. Take in its urban setting against a backdrop of fjords and mountains.

Often called the “Gateway to the Arctic”, Tromsø has long served as a centre for northern travel and research. The orientation introduces a multicultural community whose everyday life is shaped by its far-northern location.

Discover Svolvær’s fishing-harbour setting amid the steep peaks and rugged coastline of the Lofoten Islands. See the harbour entrance watched over by Fiskerkona, the fisherman’s wife statue, with traditional cod-drying racks nearby.

The racks speak to Lofoten’s long dependence on the cod fishery. Look towards Svolværgeita, the town’s distinctive twin-peaked rock pinnacle, for another striking expression of the close relationship between this fishing community and its mountain landscape.

Take in northern Norway’s Arctic Circle landscapes as the route passes Saltfjellet-Svartisen and Junkerdal national parks. Watch for the region’s glaciers, mountain terrain and fjords from the road.

The journey also passes the “Blood Road”, a route built by prisoners during the Second World War. This stretch pairs far-northern scenery with a sobering reminder of the human history carried through it.

Explore Trondheim with your Travel Director on an orientation that takes in Market Square, its statue of Olav Tryggvason, the Old Town Bridge and Nidaros Cathedral. See how historic landmarks sit within Norway’s lively former capital.

The cathedral was built over the burial site of King Olav II, Norway’s patron saint, and remains an important pilgrimage destination. The bridge’s red portals and Trondheim’s colourful streets offer a contrasting glimpse of the city’s everyday character.

Experience the setting of Geirangerfjord, where steep mountainsides and waterfalls frame one of Norway’s best-known fjord landscapes. Spend time in Geiranger with the water and surrounding peaks close at hand.

Stop in Lom to view its 12th-century stave church against the mountain landscape near Jotunheimen. Examine the timber construction and medieval detailing that distinguish this historic Norwegian landmark.

Stave churches are named for the upright wooden posts at the heart of their structure. See a surviving example of Norway’s medieval building tradition in a town that has long been a gateway to the surrounding high country.

Explore Lillehammer and learn about the town’s role as host of the 1994 Winter Olympics. The visit introduces a Norwegian destination whose sporting legacy remains closely linked to its identity.
