Welcome to Scandinavia! This incredible 12-day journey will take you through three iconic countries in the Nordic region: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Explore the charming city of Copenhagen, embracing the fairy-tale atmosphere and spirit of "hygge", an ever-present mood of comfortability blended with feelings of wellness and contentment, as you walk along the canal past the city’s quintessential colorful houses. Take an overnight cruise to the “Land of the Vikings”, and step back in time as you discover Norway’s colorful history and acquaint yourself with the life of the Vikings. Enjoy a ride on the famous Flåm Railway, one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys, en route to Norway’s awe-inspiring fjords. After a short flight, arrive in Stockholm, Sweden! Known as the “Venice of the North”, Sweden will take your breath away with its winding waterways, cobblestone streets dotted with medieval houses, and of course, traditional Swedish coffee and delights.
