Day 1

11th Jun '28

Copenhagen (K⒋enhavn), Denmark

Rejoice in one of the happiest and most vibrant capital cities in the world. Relax like a local alongside joyful Danes and varied culture; the Gefion Fountain, the Little Mermaid statue, Old Citadel, the Amalien Palace with four Rococo buildings, medieval history, charming fishing villages, leading examples of sustainable living and – of course – flaky Danish pastries. Cycling is the preferred way to shuttle across town and it’s well worth the pedal to enjoy the trendy, cosy neighbourhood of Norrebro, Christiansborg Palace and the waterfront home of Christian Andersen. Genuine, vibrant and welcoming… rather like the smiles of those that live here. More

Leknes (Lofoten Islands), Norway

Brindisi’s historic heart is rich in multi-layered monuments and finds from the days of Spartacus. Farther afield, the gleaming white villages of Ostuni or the slightly smaller and possibly even quainter, Cisternino. Head east to the Baroque Town of Lecce or west to witness the traditional conical huts (trulli) in and around World Heritage Site, Alberobello. Lecce, or ‘Florence of the South’, is rife with art, history and culture. If peace and quiet appeal, waft through rural Torre Guaceto’s nature reserve and empty beaches or take a jaunt on the Adriatic to Polignano’s sea caves. Puglia’s ‘little ear’ pasta and squid’s ink gnocchi are must-try delicacies, and with 60 million olive trees, they are rich in liquid gold. Brindisi serves up the best of Puglia. More

Troms

The sun never sets in this cultural Arctic wilderness. Blending urban city ambiance with outstanding nature, wonder at Tromsø’s sustainable roots. Embrace the true polar essence of this capital city, from the Arctic Cathedral to an alpine spa experience. Hike up Mount Floya for memorable views, run or sled with huskies and ride off the beaten track on e-bikes. Glide across waters to greet humpback whales and seals as you deep sea fish. Then head back into town for long cozy lunches of seagull eggs, grilled stockfish and reindeer sirloin. And as you savour a micro-brewed beer, muse over the Sami culture and stories of forbidden mythical joik. More

Honningsv

Touch the edge of the world in the brisk polar climate of this Northern Cape. Wrap up warm for extreme excursions; overland on quad bikes, over water on marine bird safari adventures, or take to the skies and fly over never-ending roads to the North Cape. Revive your soul with delicious king crab and heart-warming drinks in ice-clad bars before settling down to share moments of mystery in this hidden corner of the world. More

Geiranger

Nestled at the end of a fantasy fjord (one of two in Norway singled out for UNESCO status), Geiranger is a flawless illustration of a small coastal Nordic village. Soak it all in as you stand in the rainbow-mist of the Seven Sisters waterfalls then catch your breath as you walk on air at Geiranger Skywalk for the best views of Geirangerfjord. Hike stone steps to find yourself standing behind a stunning plummet of melted snow; e-bike up mountain ridges and into lush farms; delve into vivid blue waters by fast boat or slow kayak; wherever you weave, you will find inner peace and preservation in this deeply sacred site of Mother Nature’s fertile grounds and snow-capped mountains.

20th Jun '28

Molde, Norway

An aromatic scent will capture your senses in this city of roses. Perched on the edge of a fjord, extensive views of a stunning 222 snow-clad mountains further heightens Molde’s appeal. Absorb the sounds of jazz as you ramble amongst rose gardens discovering art, folk museums, nature paths and cycle trails. Take the high ‘Atlantic’ Road or drop deep underground into caves to reach the marble clad Troll Church. And as you enjoy freshly caught seafood in the crisp coastal air, you’ll understand the influence of Molde’s heady scent. More

Bergen, Norway

Lovingly known as the ‘heart of the fjords’, this city nestled between seven mountains has plenty to live up to. Burrowed between the mighty Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord fjords – the biggest in Norway – the sensational beauty of Bergen is best appreciated from the top of the funicular, Fløibanen. Flightsee around the peak for a summit advantage to enjoy panoramic views of this city’s beauty. Hike to Fløyen or mountain bike to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Bryggen, before winding down to the sound of calming piano recitals honouring Edvard Grieg Troldhaugen. Raft, crab, kayak or head to a local farm. With lungs full of fresh air and hearts full of love, sink into seafood heaven at the historic fish market to consume mouth-watering Bergen fish soup, fish cakes and customary persetorsk. More

Ronne, Denmark

The beautiful harbour town of Rønne is housed on the rocky island of Bornholm, home to narrow streets lined with merchant timber houses and small craft shops proudly displaying creative passion. Gently stroll to the heart of the art scene at Hjorths Fabrik museum and join workshops to create your own ceramic artefacts. In contrast to the bustling harbour, discover the fascinating street food market and cruise across waters in a private yacht. Charming and romantic, use a bike and roll around this pretty town at your own pace. More

Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki fuses urban design with a nourishing dose of nature. Nordic architecture merges with an archipelago of over 300 islands, an eco-friendly farm and a National Park. Roam to neighbouring Haikko, cook on a private island, fly by helicopter, feed reindeer and seek wellbeing in verdant Finnish forests. Sustainability is central to Helsinki, where wellbeing thrives with small ponds, inviting beaches, kayaking prospects and coastal walks. And whilst Helsinki sets the pace for carbon neutrality, your rhythm remains slow. With plentiful saunas, rest assured that there’s enough heat to go round in this energy efficient city. More

Stockholm, Sweden

Spanning 14 islands, more than 50 bridges and many more museums, Sweden’s capital is naturally known as the ‘Venice of the North’. Gently pedal on a cultural discovery of this Baltic Sea archipelago; tread the cobblestone streets to the iconic city hall, the world’s first open air museum, the adored ABBA exhibition, and the royal family residence of Drottningholm where the opera house still retains original stage machinery. Heighten your interest with two other UNESCO heritage sites, a woodland cemetery and the archaeological site of Birka. Dine at the Hornhuset district, perhaps only after strolling small streets that narrow to 90cm at Mårten Trotzigs Gränd. And for further sustenance, wander down to fashionable Strandvagen Boulevard and open-air Hornstull Marknad for new and vintage goods. More
