Daily BreakfastScandinavia is the world’s most civilised, design-forward, and naturally spectacular region. This 12-day grand tour journeys through all four Nordic nations — Norway’s dramatic fjords and Hanseatic Bergen, Sweden’s Viking history and design excellence, Denmark’s fairy-tale Copenhagen and hygge culture, and Finland’s sauna tradition and Arctic Lapland. All four countries share Schengen — one visa for the entire journey. This is Scandinavia at its finest: the Flåm Railway, Nærøyfjord, Vasa Museum, Nyhavn Canal, and Santa Claus Village in Finnish Lapland. Rated 4.8 stars by 143 verified travellers.
