- Alain de Botton

Time bends and light transcends at the northernmost edge of Europe. The Northern Lights reign over the winter skies in a magical fleeting display, while summer brings the midnight sun, bathing the landscape in golden glow. These phenomena encourage infinite exploration in these awe-inspiring nations.

Luxury Travel: Geiranger Fjord, NorwayTjorn, luxury travel holiday, Sweden

To the west, Norway boasts jagged fjords and giant glaciers—perfect for an expedition cruise with unparalleled wildlife encounters. Venturing east, Sweden's expanses invite travellers to kayak and hike across endless lakes and forests, giving way to Stockholm's striking archipelago, a capital uniquely spread across 14 islands.

Your luxury Scandinavia holiday awaits

Nyhavn, Copenhagen, luxury travel holiday, DenmarkPuffins on Faroe Islands, luxury travel holiday, Denmark

Across the Baltic, Denmark unveils its Viking heritage through Copenhagen's colourful canals and fairytale castles that dot the countryside. Throughout the region, the Scandi spirit of “hygge” infuses daily life - a philosophy celebrating simple joys and a deep connection to the natural world that surrounds them.

  • “Bergen is the gateway to the Norwegian fjords, so a cruise through these stunning landscapes is a must. Experiencing the majestic Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord from the water allows you to appreciate the scale and beauty of the fjords up close. Many luxury cruises have expert historians onboard, teaching guests about the region’s Viking history and its connection to Norwegian mythology.”

  • “For prime Northern Lights viewing in Scandinavia, I recommend heading to northern Norway, particularly around Tromsø, the Lofoten Islands, and Svalbard. Swedish Lapland is also great for Northern Lights, especially with destinations such as Abisko National Park or Kiruna. Of course, timing is also key - and be prepared to stay up late. The aurora can be very unpredictable!”

    Liz Thompson
    Evans & Turner Travel Associates, NSW
  • “The Midnight Sun in Norway and Sweden is a rare and astonishing experience. During this phenomenon, the sun doesn’t set for several weeks in countries north of the Arctic Circle. With 24-hour daylight comes the opportunity for novel adventures like a midnight hike or a late-night beach picnic. Even though it’s summer, temperatures can be cool, so be sure to pack layers - and don’t forget the sunscreen!”
