Winter Wonderland Destinations
Winter destinations can be idyllic if you’re not afraid of a little cold. I love a destination where I need to bundle up, cozy up by the fire and look up at a sky full of stars or catch the northern lights.
If your bucket-list includes any of the following:
✔️ Cozy up in a hotel made of ice
✔️ Watch the scenery go by on the sled pulled by dogs
✔️ Pet a real reindeer
✔️ See the Northern Lights
✔️ Stay in an igloo or glass resort with incredible views in the Arctic Circle
✔️ Visit Santa Claus Village year-round
You need to head to Scandinavia!
As your travel advisor, I have so many great ideas for last-minute trips to kick off 2024 or planning ahead for winter, festive season. Make sure you have a healthy budget since the Scandinavian Capital Cities can be quite expensive and the type of accommodations you want to splurge on will be worth it!
If you’re going for a multi-destination itinerary, you want to make sure you have enough time to enjoy the trip at a reasonable pace and pick the best mode of transportation. There are plenty of options to go by waterway with incredible sustainably-minded companies like Hurtigruten, Lindblad Expeditions or Atlas Ocean Voyages. Some itineraries will take you to the North Pole Passage if that is another travel dream of yours. Incredible untamed beauty, rolling green hills, a chance to seek out wildlife and adorable puffins by Zodiac Safari while fjords flank your ship. It’s an epic journey one must consider in their lifetime.
Find your North Star by going further afield up into Lapland to their iconic Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort with glass igloos. There take your pick of safaris: husky, reindeer or snow mobile on a hunt for aurora. If you’re looking for a real adventure, set your sights on the Icehotel, which melts each year and re-constructive every season with creatives and architects submissions from around the world. Each stay is unique and never to be recreated again.
