One of our luxury, tailor-made, touring holidays of Scandinavia offers you the ideal way to acquaint yourself with the fascinating landscape, history and culture of the northern European countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We have hand-crafted a range of touring holidays that combine methods of transport, including overnight ferries and trains, and stay in our personally-chosen hotels of charm and character in both capital cities, in the countryside, by the side of fjords and in the Arctic Circle. The tours can include activities such as hiking, sledding, staying in ice hotels, witnessing the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights, discovering the traditions of the Vikings or cycling.
We offer the following options for Scandinavian touring holidays:
• Fly-drive touring holidays
• Fly-rail touring holidays
• Rail holidays to and within Scandinavia
• Fly-rail-ferry holidays exploring the Scandinavia coastline, fjords and seas
Your touring holiday can be as simple or as complex as you wish – you can choose to follow one of the sample itineraries which we have created, you can modify one of these itineraries according to your requirements, or you can allow us to develop a whole new itinerary based on your preferences. We will use our expertise to create a bespoke touring holiday just for you, offering advice to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Our hotels in Scandinavia
All the luxury hotels in Scandinavia that are featured by Expressions Holidays have been selected to provide high standards of comfort, service and cuisine. Most of the hotels we feature are four or five-star, although in more remote regions, the official category may be three-star.
Rail touring holidays of Scandinavia
Travelling by train around Scandinavia is an ideal mode of transport as the distances between places can be substantial and driving times very long otherwise. Also, travelling by train is a marvellous way to witness the changing landscape effortlessly and to meet people along the way. There are many scenic train journeys in Scandinavia and there are routes that you can choose to do as overnight journeys.
Fly-drive touring holidays
A fly-drive touring holiday is particularly beneficial when you want to explore more remote regions or want to be based in several locations and use the car for excursions. This works very well for Norway but even then it’s worth combining the use of a hire-car with other transport modes, such as trains and ferries.
