Rail & Ferry Journeys

Travelling through Scandinavia by rail and ferry makes for a delightful passage through different countries and varied landscapes: Imagine views of cities and small towns, farms, waving fields, rugged seas, fjords, snow-capped mountains, deep gorges, lakes and pine forests along the way. Travel at a pace that truly makes it about the journey and not just the destination.

Our Scandinavian Rail and Ferry Tours include:

Our self-guided independent tours give you the best of the Nordic capitals and the dramatic fjord & mountains of Norway and Scandinavia. Rail allow ample time to digest the scenery along the way, while overnight ferries offer an enjoyable alternative to flights, including pleasant dining-options and entertainment onboard.
