5 Scandi Highlights
Scandinavia has plenty to offer the travel-hungry adventurer.

Experience Europe’s capital of cool, from the food to the design to the vastness of the wilderness, with Trafalgar.

Rovaniemi, Finland – Nordic Adventure

High in Finland, not far from the Arctic Circle, this Lapland village is said to be the hometown of Santa Claus. Trafalgar travellers not only get to “meet” the town’s most famous resident but will also be in a prime position to explore the countryside under the glow of the midnight sun or, with a little luck, the Aurora Borealis.

lapland, Finland – Nordic Adventure

The Konttaniemi family have lived on the outskirts of Rovaniemi for more than 30 years, running one of the country’s most scenic reindeer farms. On a Be My Guest experience, Trafalgar travellers will have the chance to experience life on the Arctic Circle, diving deep into Finnish culture and sitting down to a traditional Lappish meal.

The Blue Lagoon, iceland – Ultimate Iceland

Regardless of the weather, no trip to Iceland would be complete without a dip in the Blue Lagoon. Located on a lava field, this attraction outside Reykjavik is a steamy introduction to the country’s geothermal activity. You can enjoy a swim in the mineral-rich waters then indulge in a massage or facial in the spa.

Bergen, Norway – Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords

On the outskirts of this Norwegian city you’ll find the Øvre-Eide Farm, a place of rolling green hills and historic buildings that date back to Viking times. Today, the property opens to Trafalgar travellers for an exclusive Be My Guest experience – you’ll meet the animals that call the fields home and sit down to dinner with the Øvre-Eide family, who have lived here for five generations.

The Flåm Railway, Norway – Scenic Scandinavia and it Fjords

This thrilling train journey from the Norwegian ski resort of Voss is sure to put things into perspective. The rails rise to almost 1000 metres above sea level, taking Trafalgar travellers through some of Scandinavia’s most jaw-dropping scenery – think soaring mountain passes and waterfalls, glaciers and fjords.
