What will my days look like?

Days are full. Most start with breakfast, then the main sights with a local guide or your tour leader. Afternoons often leave free time to wander, stop for a coffee or join an optional extra. Expect a fair amount of walking: some days mean two or three hours on your feet, so bring comfortable shoes.

Who will I be travelling with?

Travellers from all over the world, of different ages and backgrounds, who share a wish to see more. Up to 30 people share this tour, and most know each other’s names within a few days.

What are the hotels like?

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. Some are booked with your tour leader on the day. Others sell in advance and must be bought before the tour starts: to add one of those, mention it in your booking notes and we confirm it with your seats. Each extra in the Optional extras section says which way it is booked.

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.

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. Dubai appointments fill up quickly before Christmas, so start early.
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 Moxy 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 8 dinners, including a Christmas Day dinner in Bergen and a New Year’s Eve dinner in Helsinki.
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
This tour runs in December, over Christmas and New Year: expect cold winter weather across Scandinavia and the Baltics, with some snow, ice and short daylight hours further north.
Pack warm layers, a windproof and waterproof coat, a hat and gloves, and comfortable, broken-in shoes with good grip for icy pavements.
Christmas and New Year on tour
Some shops, museums and restaurants close or shorten their hours on 24 and 25 December and on 1 January, particularly in Bergen and Stockholm. Your tour leader plans the itinerary around this, and the included Christmas Day dinner in Bergen and New Year’s Eve dinner in Helsinki mark the two key dates on tour.
