Finland

When it comes to bucket list holidays, Finland has it all!

In summer, why not try searching for wild brown bears and enjoying the long days of the Midnight Sun. In winter, imagine exploring snowy wonderland landscapes on a husky sled, experiencing a reindeer sleigh ride adventure, or searching for the Northern Lights on the back of a snowmobile.

Norway

Fairy-tale fjords, stunning archipelagos, dramatic mountains, glistening glaciers - there is no country that does natural beauty better than Norway. With Artisan Travel, you'll explore the very best of these picturesque landscapes, from the vast wilderness of Spitsbergen and the vibrant city of Tromsø to the idyllic island of Senja and so many more!

Iceland

From geysers to glaciers, lava fields to black sandy beaches, geothermal lagoons to spectacular national parks, Iceland is the perfect adventure destination at any time of the year. In winter, visit the world-renowned Blue Lagoon and search for the ethereal Aurora Borealis. In summer, wonder at the 'Golden Circle' under the 24-hour glow of the remarkable Midnight Sun.

The Azores

Looking for something with a warmer climate? Scattered in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Azores Archipelago offers an escape that could have you mistakenly thinking that you were in Colonial Portugal, Hawaii or New Zealand. Surreal landscapes aren't the only highlight - experience snorkelling with dolphins, whale watching, wine tasting and geothermal lagoons!

Whether you're on an Island Exploration or a photography tour, Artisan will show you the very best of this alluring island
