Itinerary

Arrive in Stockholm

Stockholm

Your journey begins in Stockholm, a capital spread across fourteen islands where historic charm meets contemporary Scandinavian design.

Upon arrival, you are privately transferred to your hotel. Over the next days, you will explore the city from both land and water. A scenic boat tour introduces Stockholm’s elegant waterfront districts as you cruise beneath bridges and through historic locks, revealing why the city is often called the “Venice of the North.”

Time at leisure allows you to wander Gamla Stan’s cobbled streets, visit world-class museums, browse Nordic design boutiques, or relax at a café overlooking the Baltic Sea. The pace here is refined and unhurried — a graceful introduction to Scandinavia.

SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION: Scandic Grand Central Stockholm
 

Oslo

Travel by rail from Stockholm to Oslo, enjoying a scenic transition from Sweden’s forests to Norway’s rolling landscapes.

Oslo offers a blend of modern architecture and waterfront serenity. Upon arrival, a private transfer escorts you to your hotel. The remainder of your time here allows for exploration of the harbor promenade, contemporary cultural landmarks, and an emerging culinary scene rooted in Nordic tradition.

This short but elegant stop bridges cosmopolitan Scandinavia with the dramatic landscapes to come.

Flåm & South Sognefjord

Your journey continues by rail into the heart of Norway’s fjord country, arriving in Flåm and the surrounding South Sognefjord region.

The scenery transforms into towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and deep emerald valleys. During your stay, you will explore the UNESCO-listed Nærøydalen Valley on a guided heritage hike. Accessible trails lead through dramatic landscapes dotted with historic farmland and panoramic viewpoints.

This region offers immersion in Norway’s raw natural beauty, balanced with comfort and tranquility at your mountain retreat.

A private guided experience takes you up Mount Fløyen via the Fløibanen funicular, where scenic trails offer breathtaking fjord panoramas. For a true Nordic ritual, you may opt for a traditional sauna and invigorating fjord dip.
