Fjord day through Nærøyfjord, Flåm and Stegastein

This 10-day private Norway winter journey connects four very different parts of the country within one carefully planned route. It begins with three nights in Tromsø, giving guests time to experience Arctic Norway through huskies, reindeer, winter wildlife and a private Northern Lights hunt without changing hotels each day.

From Tromsø, the journey continues to Svolvær for two nights in the Lofoten Islands. A private sightseeing programme introduces the islands’ dramatic winter coastline, fishing communities and mountain scenery, while a private sea eagle safari adds another perspective on the Arctic landscape.

The route then turns south to Bergen for two nights. Here, private city touring is combined with a full fjord journey through Nærøyfjord, Flåm and Stegastein, creating a striking contrast between Northern Norway and the deeper fjord landscapes of the west.

The final two nights are spent in Oslo, reached with privately coordinated airport and hotel transfers. A private city tour completes the journey before departure. Across nine nights, only four hotel bases are used, balancing a wide geographical range with a comfortable overall flow.

Frequently asked

Questions before you book.

If you don't see your question here, message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply within 24 hours.

Do you arrange luxury Lapland holidays and aurora trips?

Yes. Lapland is one of our core destinations, especially for private winter holidays in Levi and Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. A private Lapland itinerary can include aurora outings, reindeer experiences, huskies, sauna, snow activities, premium stays and private transfers, depending on availability and weather conditions. The best aurora season is usually from September through March, while classic winter trips are strongest from December to March. We plan Lapland trips carefully because timing, distances and cold-weather logistics matter a lot.

Do you work with travel advisors and agencies?

Yes. Guidance operates as a ground DMC for luxury advisors, boutique agencies and white-label partners. Net-rate pricing, fast proposals, clean on-trip execution. See our travel advisors page for partnership details.

Are your trips good for families and honeymoons?

Yes. We design private Finland and Nordic trips for families, couples, honeymooners and private groups. For families, we pay close attention to driving distances, children’s ages, activity level, meal timing and rest time. For couples and honeymoons, we can shape the trip around quieter stays, private sauna evenings, scenic routes, food experiences and a slower pace. We do not overfill the itinerary unless that is what you want. The goal is a trip that feels personal, comfortable and easy to follow.

Can I combine multiple Nordic countries in one trip?

Yes. We can design private multi-country Nordic itineraries that combine Finland with Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Estonia. Common combinations include Helsinki and Tallinn, Finland and Swedish Lapland, Helsinki and Stockholm, or Finland with Norway’s fjords. Multi-country trips need realistic pacing, especially when flights, ferries, trains, private transfers and seasonal activities are involved. We help you choose a route that gives enough depth in each place, instead of trying to squeeze too many countries into too little time.

Why book with Guidance DMC instead of arranging everything ourselves?

You can book parts of a Nordic trip yourself, but the hard part is knowing what is actually worth booking and making everything work together smoothly. In the Nordics, quality can vary a lot between suppliers, guides, transfers, restaurants and seasonal experiences. As a Helsinki-based DMC, we know the people, the local standards and where the quality really is. Guidance DMC handles the route, stays, transfers, reservations, pacing and backup planning through one team. This is especially valuable for private groups, families, couples and travel advisors who want comfort without spending hours coordinating separate suppliers. You get one clear plan and one team responsible for the flow.
