Northern Europe
Seasons
Northern Europe fjords and falls may be the most exotic frontier of the European continent. These independent people have built traditions of fierce beauty out of their Viking heritage and pristine surrounds. Adventure through Iceland, safari by sea in Norway’s Arctic, shop high design in Denmark, or experience the royal life in the United Kingdom. Whether glistening with a fresh coat of snow, or bursting with verdant green pastures, Northern Europe’s natural and architectural beauty will enchant at any time of year.
