Scandinavia & the Nordics Holidays
europe
The awe-inspiring ice age landscapes found above the Arctic Circle in Sweden, Norway and Finland offer mesmerising wilderness, dramatic fjords and towering mountain peaks. In winter, meet with freezing temperatures ideal for snowmobile and dog sledding adventures and romantic festive breaks of a Scandinavian Christmas. Hunt for the magical northern lights dancing across the sky and even take a ride on an icebreaker across the Baltic Sea.
Further south explore the Lakelands of the southern Nordics with the vibrant, ultramodern capitals and eclectic gastronomy of Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm. Home to island strewn archipelagos and flowing waterways, a cruise holiday is the perfect way to explore.
Trailfinders offers a range of Scandinavia & the Nordics holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit Tromso Norway to hunt the northern lights or meet with Santa at his home in Rovaniemi Lapland – they are the perfect people to ask.
