The complete Nordic journey — Helsinki’s seaside charm, Stockholm’s elegance, Copenhagen’s Nyhavn, Oslo’s museums, and Bergen by way of the Flåm Railway. Fifteen days, five iconic cities, one unforgettable sweep of the North.

Experience the Nordic world in full on this 15-day private Scandinavia grand tour, a sweeping journey across four capitals and Norway's spectacular fjords. Begin with a Helsinki city tour of the Finnish capital's design and landmarks, then continue this classic Oslo Stockholm Copenhagen trip — Stockholm's Vasa warship, Copenhagen's palaces and The Little Mermaid — before sailing by overnight cruise to Oslo. Finish aboard the historic Flåmsbana Railway, cruising the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord to coastal Bergen. Blending scenic rail, fjords, a sea crossing, and four Nordic capitals, it's the ultimate way to discover Scandinavia.
