Amazing Scandinavia trip
Follow The Northern Lights (Norway – Finland)
Mark, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We did an extended land and sea tour with Hurtigruten from Oslo, up through Norway then cruised up past the north Cape and then travelled down through Laplands then down to Helsinki. The scenery was spectacular. We saw amazing northern lights in Lapland especially. Hurtigruten cruise was very comfortable. Typical cruise ship cabin, well maintained. read more Meals were so provided and varied from buffet to ala carte. Food was good quality. We had also booked a Travelmarvel river cruise, however due to damage to a lock in the river system they had to cancel the cruise. While we were very disappointed, they fully refunded our payment, and let us stay on board for 3 nights with all meals and drinks until we made other arrangements. Overall, a fantastic trip. Thank you Hannah for helping us arrange yet another trip. You are always there to help we really appreciate all that you've done.

Dave and Marilyn, VIC, Australia, Jun 2025
This is our first ocean cruise with Viking and it lived up to our expectations. We really enjoyed the itinerary especially starting at the Cutty Sark wharf, brief stops in the Orkneys and Shetland and cruising through the fiords of Norway. The included excursions at each port were very good. Our cabin and facilities were very comfortable. Overall read more the ship was very good especially the included specialty restaurants - the Chefs Table and Manfredis. Our only disappointment was the dinner menu choices in The Restaurant. The World Cafe buffet was excellent for choice and quality. Georgie Walpole handled our booking efficiently as usual.

Northern Lights of Scandinavia
Debra, VIC, Australia, Mar 2025
Trip was magical, so much snow very very pretty. Our tour guide Maria and driver Tomak added to the whole experience. A great bunch of fellow travellers and we saw the lights several times. Highlights are so many. Top of the world at North Cape was incredible. The huskies, the reindeer’s - all beautiful!
Amazing winter tour in Lapland
Finnish Lapland in Winter
Charlene , QLD, Australia, Feb 2025
Loved this tour. It was very cold, but Intrepid made sure we were supplied with necessary outer wear for our comfort. Our guide Gigi was extremely organised and attentive. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience winter in Finland.
Iceland - absolutely awesome
Northern Lights Escape
Deborah, QLD, Australia, Feb 2024
I'd really rather you didn't go there and make it more "peopley" but - this tour, the tour guide we had and Iceland were epic, amazing, outstanding beautiful, absolutely awesome. This is a second to none destination in my opinion and this tour gives you a great starting glimpse of a wonderfully diverse country. The tour is perfect to get you started read more on an addiction to this country and it's people.
Our guide, Stefano, was one in a million......just enough care to keep you safe without smothering the life out of you, just enough running commentary that you're informed but not bored to death by a guide that won't shut up. Do the tour - you won't regret it. I will be back, I will be there for a lot longer and I'm very tempted to never come home!

Winter Wonderland in Alaska
Alaska's Iditarod with Fairbanks
Geoff & Merrilyn, NSW, Australia, Feb 2024
What a wonderful tour our Globus' Iditarod with Fairbanks extension was. Highlights were seeing the Northern Lights on the first night of the tour - an amazing sight to behold; holding on for dear life on a dog sled ride and catching the snow train from Fairbanks to Talkeetna. The clearest views of Denali I have ever seen. Finally we got to see the read more start of the Iditarod dog sled race and the running of the reindeer in Anchorage. Nick our tour director and Maurice our coach driver went out of their way to make the trip memorable. If you want a winter trip with a bit of everything, then this is the trip for you.
