Scandinavia Tours, based in Vågå, Norway, custom designs all its itineraries that feature Norway, Sweden and Denmark. While the winters of the Nordic world might intimidate some, Managing Director Monique van Dijk-Seppola says she has seen increased interest.
“We have started to promote the winter season more—hunting, the Northern Lights, skiing, dog sledding and winter cruises,” she says, attributing some of the interest to the Disney film “Frozen.” The movie even serves as the inspiration for a high-end tour offering the company packages.
“Norway is the Scandinavian country with the highest peaks and the deepest fjords,” she says. As groups travel through the Gudbrandsdalen region on one of the company’s popular routes, they can see the network of valleys as they take in the culture, history and cuisine of Norway.
“We end our journey in the beautiful Hanseatic city of Bergen, or we prolong our journey with a cruise with the famous Hurtigruten.” The passenger line has been ferrying people and cargo along the Norwegian coast since the 1890s, and ships depart Bergen daily.
