Special Event Spotlight

On August 12, 2026, parts of Iceland will experience a total solar eclipse. The Iceland extension for the tour departing July 28, 2026 may be modified to accommodate the event.

Lose yourself in the wonders of Europe’s northern reaches, one stop at a time.

A shared seafaring culture. A medley of mesmerizing natural landscapes. The five Nordic nations have a lot in common, but it’s their differences that make them so compelling. Begin your tour in fjord-flanked Norway, jumping from Bergen’s paint-palette waterfront to Oslo’s museum-filled streets before sailing to the regal environs of Copenhagen, Denmark. Follow that up with stops in the Scandinavian city of Stockholm and the Finnish capital of Helsinki—and if you’re feeling adventurous, add the excursion to Iceland to complete your checklist.

  • 10 nights in handpicked hotels
  • 2 nights aboard a cruise ship

The highlights of this tour for me were the Norwegian fjords, Tallinn and The Golden Circle. Many of the local guided tours were a waste of time. The tours were done on a bus and did more to confuse rather than orientate you to each city. Also some of the guides did not have...

The excellent tour guide tried her best, but way too many transportation transfers (numerous buses, trains, planes, and boats), packing , and unpacking, tight schedules, and waiting in entry lines. Too little time at sites we went to see, and not enough time to enjoy the...
