The Northern Capitals tour is a 10-day guided journey that takes you through the heart of Scandinavia, beginning in vibrant Copenhagen and ending in cosmopolitan Helsinki. This itinerary is designed to showcase the dynamic blend of history, culture, and modern life in Northern Europe with immersive experiences in four countries — Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Throughout the tour you’ll enjoy comfortable accommodations, expert local guides, and curated sightseeing that highlight both iconic landmarks and unique local flavors.
Your adventure begins in Copenhagen, where you’ll have time to explore the city’s famed cyclist culture and historic sites before moving on to Oslo, the capital of Norway, known for its striking contemporary architecture and scenic waterfront. From there, you’ll travel to Stockholm, Sweden’s stylish capital, where cobblestone streets and innovative design coexist in the old town and modern districts alike. One of the tour’s standout experiences is a relaxing overnight cruise across the Baltic Sea, which connects Stockholm to Helsinki and offers a memorable way to transition between these Northern capitals.
Once in Helsinki, you’ll have options to tailor your day with included excursions — whether that’s exploring historic forts by ferry or visiting local spas — giving you flexibility to shape your experience. Throughout the journey, you’ll delve into Viking heritage, explore open-air markets, and enjoy the distinct cultural scenes of each city. With thoughtfully planned sightseeing and free time woven together, this tour offers a balanced mix of guided discovery and personal exploration across some of Scandinavia’s most exciting capitals.

At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and travel companions for a welcome dinner at your hotel.
