It is common sense that in order to run a thriving business, you must be able to successfully sell your product. Fortunately, for the Nordic Company, this has never been an issue. Our product, travel to Scandinavia, practically sells itself. There is nowhere else in the world where you can experience the magic of the fjords and countryside juxtaposed with glittering glacier-fed waterfalls, startlingly deep valleys, and the sweet song of the Scandinavian hello: “Hei! God dåg!” Our clients come to us for a variety of reasons, but they always return feeling the same: refreshed, inspired, and ready to go back!
Given the current hike in fuel surcharges and the increasingly hectic nature of travel abroad, you may think that Scandinavia is not an attractive vacation destination this year, but that is simply not the case. Our knowledge of Scandinavian travel is not exclusive to the upscale traveler. We have the business relationships and savvy to ensure that the moderate traveler is able to experience the wonder of Northern Europe without having to sacrifice their purse strings.
Admittedly, Scandinavia is an expensive place to travel. The wealth of their country and their autonomy from the European Union (with the exception of Finland) allows them to maintain a separate and strong, growing economy. With that in mind, you can’t arrive with the expectation to spend as little as you would in Mexico, but there are plenty of deals to make it work for the economic traveler – and we know all about them. To name just a few…Traveling in the off-season instead of the summer months is an excellent way to score some great price breaks. Hurtigruten cruises often offer senior rates and we’re aware of many nice, moderate hotels that stretch your dollar without compromising your comfort level.
Regardless of your style of travel, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and the Baltics all have something to offer the curious of heart and eager to know. Our clients come to us seeking adventure – in the form of glacier hiking, white water kayaking, horse back riding through lava fields, fjord kayaking, and even snorkeling in Iceland! Others are older and taking that once in a lifetime family trip to Norway to relocate their heritage and visit their ancestral family farm. Some of them are backpackers, some of them are deluxe, high profile clientele, and a lot of them fall somewhere in the middle – looking for luxury, but also just a chance to experience each city at their own will. With the Midwest often considered the heart of Scandinavian heritage, a lot of our clients live right down the road, but still many more come to us from the East coast, West coast, down south, Australia, Canada, and beyond.
As you can see, the question of “Why Scandinavia?” is almost impossible to answer because our clientele is so diverse. We love listening to the stories that come behind the desire to visit a destination, but even more so, we enjoy being an essential part in the fruition of those desires. The allure of Scandinavia lies in its relatively untouched nature, its unique history and population, its fascinatingly elegant cities, and of course, so many other reasons that our clients continue to discover in their travels, year after year.
The Nordic Company specializes in independent and group travel to Norway and beyond. Whether you feel beckoned to rekindle your roots or simply want to experience the spirit of Scandinavia, a Norway tour by land or a Norwegian coastal voyage (also known as Hurtigruten) is unforgettable. We also invite you to consider Finland travel, Iceland touring and St. Petersburg travel.
