Good to know

Practical details to read before you travel.

  • Passport & visas

    Every country on this tour, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, is in the Schengen area, so one Schengen visa covers the whole trip.

    UAE passport holders don’t need a visa for stays of up to 90 days, but will need the EU’s new ETIAS travel authorisation once it starts: we can tell you where it stands when you book. Most other nationalities living in the UAE need a Schengen visa, applied for in the country where you spend the most nights.

    Your passport must be valid for at least three months after you leave the Schengen area, and have been issued within the last ten years. Our visa team handles Schengen applications: ask us when you book.

  • Flights and timings

    Flights to Copenhagen and from Warsaw aren’t included.

    Day 1 starts at the hotel in Copenhagen, where you check in from 10:00 and meet your tour leader. The tour ends in Warsaw after breakfast on day 20.

    Our team can book your flights from Dubai to match.

  • Meals and dietary needs

    Your tour includes 19 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 7 dinners, including Swedish meatballs in Stockholm and dinners in Gdańsk and Warsaw.

    Tell us about any dietary needs, halal included, when you book, and we pass them on before the tour.

  • Money

    You’ll use Danish kroner in Denmark, Norwegian kroner in Norway, Swedish kronor in Sweden and Polish złoty in Poland, and euros in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Cards are widely accepted on this route, and Scandinavia in particular is close to cashless.

    Optional extras booked on tour are paid to your tour leader in cash or by card, in the currency shown.

  • Weather and packing

    Weather varies by season: mild spring and autumn, warm summer, and cold winter conditions on the December departure.

    Pack in layers, with a waterproof jacket and comfortable, broken-in shoes for the walking tours. A warm layer is worth having for the overnight ferries too.

  • Two nights on overnight ferries

    This tour spends two nights aboard overnight ferries: Hirtshals to Bergen, and Stockholm to Helsinki. Each has a twin cabin with a private bathroom, plus onboard dining and entertainment.

    Keep a small bag with what you need overnight separate from your main luggage, since cabins are compact.

Plan your trip

Our Dubai team arranges what goes around the tour, so it is booked in one place.

  • Visas

    One Schengen visa covers the Schengen countries on this route. Our visa team in Dubai applies for UAE residents once the tour is booked.

    Mostly 3 and 4 star, all clean, comfortable and well located, with private en-suite bathrooms. They are chosen so you sleep well and are ready for the next day. The destinations come first, but the hotels are never an afterthought.

  • How active is this tour?

    You carry your own luggage, sometimes up hotel stairs. Some walking tours run for up to three hours, and a few sites have plenty of steps. The itinerary and the activity level at the top of this page show whether the pace suits you.

  • How do optional extras work?

    Optional extras run in the tour’s free time, and your tour leader tells you what is on offer as the tour goes. The ones on this tour are booked with your tour leader on the day, and the Optional extras section shows each one with its price.

  • Will I have time to explore on my own?

    Yes. The itinerary builds in free time to wander at your own pace, and your tour leader can point you to the places that suit you, so you are never left to work it all out alone.

  • What support do I have while I’m on tour?

    Your tour leader travels with you from start to finish. They know the places most visitors miss, can suggest a restaurant before you ask, and deal with whatever crops up on the way. Transport and hotels are all arranged for you.

    There is also an emergency number staffed 24 hours a day, and our team in Dubai is there to help.
