What people love about Nordic / Scandinavia Tours for Seniors
This was a fantastic trip and as Cat reminded us it was just the highlights of Scandinavia, it would take years to see much more. The tour gave us enough to make us fall in love with each country and Cat certainly contributed to that with her local knowledge and interesting tips and facts. The scenery was magnificent and we covered so much ground. The only downside was a lot of time on the bus, but it was worth it, and the October departure meant that it was getting dark most evenings when we arrived at our destination for the night. Sometimes the food options were very limited, especially dinner, but we got to experience local specialities which Cat pointed out and recommended.
Highlights of Scandinavia
- Focus on Scandinavia
Excellent tour, which met my expectations to have an overview of Scandinavia. Norway has stunning scenery. Our tour Director was fun & informative she did a great job.
- Copenhagen to Helsinki
Luke is "Simply the best". Nothing is too much trouble. Great character and fun guy to be with. Made the tour and probably the best guide I've ever travelled with.
What our customers ask about Nordic / Scandinavia Tours for Seniors
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit Nordic/Scandinavia?
June through September offers the most favorable conditions with mild temperatures and extended daylight hours. During these months Copenhagen sees temperatures of 68°F (20°C) while Bergen stays around 64°F (18°C). The long summer days let visitors explore at a relaxed pace without worrying about early sunsets. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The summer lighting and weather made this trip absolutely magical allowing us to fully enjoy the spectacular fjords and cities." Winter visits require extra caution as icy conditions can make walking difficult for older travelers.
What type of accommodation can seniors expect on Nordic/Scandinavia tours?
Most tours use centrally located 4-star hotels that put you within walking distance of main attractions. The Scandic Grand Central in Stockholm and Hotel Bristol in Oslo represent typical accommodations with standard amenities like elevators en-suite bathrooms and restaurant facilities. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were excellent as were the breakfasts and dinners. Hotels like the Thon Hotel Cecil in Oslo and Quality Sogndal offered great comfort and convenience."
How many nights are typically spent in each location on Nordic tours?
Tour itineraries usually allow 2-3 nights per major city giving travelers time to explore without rushing. You'll often spend 2 nights in Copenhagen 2 nights in Stockholm and 2-3 nights in Oslo. This spacing lets visitors see key attractions while having free time for personal interests. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The pacing was good with enough time in each place. We had 2-3 nights in the main cities which gave us time to see the sights and also have some free time to explore on our own."
What medical facilities/assistance is available during Nordic tours?
Popular sites such as Stockholm's Vasa Museum and Oslo's Viking Ship Museum provide good accessibility with elevators ramps and rest areas. Tour guides can adjust routes for those with mobility needs and hotels like Radisson Blu Scandinavia provide accessible rooms. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Even with my knee problems I could enjoy most sites as there were always elevators and places to rest. Our guide was very thoughtful about suggesting alternate routes when needed."
What's included in typical meal arrangements for seniors on Nordic tours?
Tour packages typically cover daily breakfasts and select group dinners featuring regional dishes. Cosmos' Focus on Scandinavia exemplifies standard meal plans with 12 breakfasts and 4 dinners at selected restaurants. Tours accommodate dietary restrictions when notified in advance. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The included meals were excellent especially the traditional Norwegian dinner at Frogner House in Oslo."
