Scandinavian Odyssey Winter Quest

Your journey begins in Copenhagen, Denmark’s cool capital. Upon arrival, you'll be warmly greeted by a Cox and Kings representative, and a private chauffeur escorts you to your hotel in Coppanhagen. After a brief orientation, take time to relax, refresh and unwind in your room.

The afternoon is yours to ease into Nordic life; perhaps wander along Nyhavn’s colourful harbour, where pastel façades and old ships line the water or stop by a local café for your first Danish pastry and watch cyclists glide past the cobblestones with enviable ease.

As the sun sets, try an authentic Scandinavian dinner before retiring to your stylish hotel room for a peaceful first night in this stunning city!

The day begins with a hearty breakfast, where freshly baked rye bread, cheeses, and berries fuel you for the journey ahead. Set out on a guided city tour across Copenhagen’s icons; Tivoli Gardens’, the regal halls of Christiansborg Palace, and the Little Mermaid, a small statue with a really interesting story behind it.

By midday, depart with the group across the Great Belt Bridge; a 20 km engineering marvel linking Denmark’s islands. En route, pause in Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, where a visit to his home and the Gothic cathedral reveals the fairytale roots of Danish storytelling!

Enjoy lunch on the go or at a local café before arriving in Aarhus by late afternoon. Explore its beautiful streets and modern museums, as you turn in for the night at your comfortable hotel for a good night’s sleep.

After a wholesome breakfast, your scenic day begins with a drive toward Hirtshals, Denmark’s northernmost tip. Here, board a North Sea ferry for a breezy crossing to Norway and watch the horizon disappear into silvery waves as seabirds follow in your wake.

Have a delicious lunch after docking in Kristiansand, as the drive ahead winds through Norway’s southern coast, a tapestry of fishing villages, rocky shores, and pine forests. Stop in Flekkefjord, a pretty coastal town where white wooden houses reflect off still waters!

By evening, arrive in Stavanger, a city where cobbled streets come together with the fjordside beauty. Try out a local dinner, followed by enough time to relax, so you can peacefully settle into the Nordic atmosphere before a restful night’s sleep.

Begin your morning with a generous breakfast spread, then set out to visit the famed Swords in Rock monument; three giant bronze blades rising from the earth to commemorate the Viking unity that existed in the land!

From here, the drive weaves through Norway’s breathtaking coastal route, a mosaic of tunnels, bridges, and islands. The group experiences two scenic ferry crossings, including a journey through the world’s deepest undersea tunnel; a marvel of modern engineering!

Arrive in Bergen around midday and take the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen for sweeping views of the city and fjords below. Enjoy lunch at leisure before exploring Bergen’s UNESCO-listed Bryggen Wharf. As night falls, head back to your hotel for a good night’s rest.

Enjoy a nourishing breakfast before departing into Norway’s stunning interior. The day begins at the cascading Tvindefossen Waterfall, where you stand in front of icy mist sparkles in the morning light; a photographer’s delight!

Continue toward Gudvangen for a fjord cruise unlike any other. Glide between towering cliffs and mirrored waters, while soaking up views that redefine silence and scale.

Disembark the cruise at Aurland and travel through snow-dusted valleys and the world’s longest road tunnel toward Borgund, home to a 12th-century stave church. After exploring this medieval icon, arrive in Oslo, have dinner at your own pace and enjoy a peaceful night at your hotel.

Following a delicious breakfast featuring local delicacies, a guided tour introduces Oslo’s best-loved sights; from Vigeland’s sculpture park to the Royal Palace and Oslo City Hall. The balance of tradition and design here sets a peaceful retreat!

Leaving Norway behind, journey along with the group through serene forests and lakes toward Sweden. Stop in the beautiful town of Örebro, and witness the iconic fairy-tale castle rise from the river. Lunch here offers a taste of Swedish flavours before continuing onward.

Arrive in Stockholm by evening, and behold the city’s waterways shimmer in the golden twilight. After trying out a classic dinner, rest well at your elegant hotel in this Nordic capital!

Begin the day with a generous breakfast before setting out on a guided exploration of Stockholm; an archipelago of 14 islands connected by graceful bridges. Wander through Gamla Stan’s cobbled lanes, see the Royal Palace, and pass through the Nobel Prize Museum!

Lunch is yours to enjoy at one of Stockholm’s waterfront cafés, where fresh seafood and cinnamon buns are local favourites. Optional visits to the Vasa Museum or City Hall offer further glimpses into Swedish craftsmanship and maritime history.

The afternoon lends itself to quiet exploration at your own pace before reuniting with the group at the hotel. Stories, laughter, and shared memories fill the evening air as you unwind in your hotel for another restful night.

After a wholesome breakfast, journey south through Sweden’s rolling countryside. Midday brings a stop at Helsingborg, a beautiful seaside town perfect for a stroll and a relaxed lunch. From here, a short ferry crossing takes you across the strait to Helsingør in Denmark!

Explore Kronborg Castle, immortalised as Elsinore in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, where centuries old stories are held in stone halls and sea breezes. The group continues to Copenhagen by evening, closing the loop of your Scandinavian circle.

After enjoying one last dinner in Denmark, raising a final toast to countless adventures and new friendships. Later, retire for your last night in Denmark’s elegant capital, reminiscing the moments of the beautiful past week!

After one last delicious breakfast, it’s time to bid farewell to Scandinavia. A private chauffeur escorts you to the airport or station, marking the end of an unforgettable northern adventure!

Great journeys never end, they aspire to inspire the next. Until next time…

Expertly yours.
