Multi-Country Vacation Packages
in Europe

Once you’re in Europe, you don’t need to travel far to experience diverse landscapes and cultures. With so much to see in a relatively small area, it’s easy to explore multiple countries on one unforgettable trip.

For instance, head to the Alps for jagged peaks and medieval European cities. Or roam vast open spaces, dramatic coastline and Viking heritage in Scandinavia. You could also immerse yourself in Gaelic culture in Scotland and Ireland, or venture to Iceland for volcanoes, glaciers and untamed scenery.

With destinations from the Alps to the Arctic, you’ll be sure to find your dream getaway.

Where you should go in Europe depends on what you’d like to see and do on your trip. With our carefully curated itineraries, you’ll experience the highlights of each region's culture and scenery.

Explore these top destinations on Nordic Visitor's multi-country tours designed by our travel experts:

• • Scandinavia – including Norway, Sweden and Denmark (some tours also include Finland and Estonia)
• • Scotland and Ireland
• • The UK – England, Scotland and Wales
• • The Alps – Austria, Germany and Switzerland
• • Iceland and Scandinavia – Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark
• • Iceland and Greenland

If it’s breathtaking natural wonders you’re after, visit Iceland, Norway, the Alps or Greenland. Alternatively, venture to the likes of Sweden and the UK, where cultural attractions lead the way, followed closely by picturesque landscapes. Then there’s Scotland and Ireland, where you’ll find a perfect balance of gorgeous scenery and famous historic highlights.

You can also take any of our single-destination tours back to back for your own multi-country tour of Europe.

The best way to discover Europe on a multi-country trip depends on the kind of travel experience you’re looking for.

For instance, if you like to explore at your own pace, opt for a self-drive tour of Europe. This way you’ll have the flexibility to stop whenever you like along the route. Although you’ll be taking the wheel yourself, you can relax knowing support is just a call away with our 24/7 helpline.

Your dedicated travel consultant will reserve your accommodation and arrange car hire with a trusted local partner. Plus, you’ll get a road map, handmarked with the suggested route and top attractions.

If you like the idea of having the freedom to do your own thing but would rather not drive, choose an independent Europe tour. On these itineraries, your personal travel consultant will book your accommodation and organise local transport. This could include booking ferries and trains between countries. On many of these packages, you’ll also have the option to join guided day tours or excursions.

Another excellent way to see the best of Europe is on a guided small group tour. Explore in a comfortable minibus and join a group of up to 15 fellow travellers in Scotland and Ireland, or up to 16 guests elsewhere in Europe. Plus, with a knowledgeable guide or tour leader showing the way, you’re free to sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.

If small group touring appeals to you, but you’d prefer to choose your travel companions, why not make your trip private? On a privately guided tour of Europe, you can discover Scotland and Ireland or Iceland with just your own family and friends.

You don’t need a group for a private tour though. Exploring with your very own guide on a personalised travel experience is also a great option for your honeymoon.

No matter when you travel, Europe has something special to offer. So the best time of year to visit hinges on what you want to see and do during your trip.

For instance, come in spring, summer or autumn – April to October – if you want to spend lots of time outdoors. With mild to warm temperatures and more daylight, this time of year is perfect for sightseeing and soaking up the scenery.

Meanwhile, the winter months of November to March are the ideal time for chasing the northern lights. This is also a magical season to cruise the Baltic Sea and Norwegian coastline on a multi-city Europe trip. You could visit Scandinavia’s big cities – Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen – and glide past snow-dusted fjords.

How long you’ll need for your multi-country adventure will vary based on the destination and the number of countries you’d like to visit. If you already have a specific time frame in mind, filter our tours by length to find packages that’ll suit you.

With Nordic Visitor’s week-long itineraries, you’ll uncover regional highlights in a short space of time. Whisk yourself off on a multi-city Europe vacation package to the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Or escape to the Alps on a 7-day itinerary in Austria and Germany.

While visiting two countries or more is possible in a week, if you can, we recommend allowing at least 12–14 days for your trip. This way, you could visit more sights or spend longer in each destination delving deeper into local culture.

Meanwhile, if you prefer travelling at a leisurely pace or want to experience as many countries as possible, 3 weeks or longer is ideal.

Here’s an idea of how long you’ll need to explore these multi-country destinations with Nordic Visitor:

• • Scandinavia: 7–28 days
• • Scotland and Ireland: 12–25 days
• • The UK: 10–21 days
• • The Alps: 7–21 days
• • Iceland, Scandinavia and the Nordics: 14–28 days
• • Iceland and Greenland: 14 days

Planning a multi-country trip yourself takes time and effort. For a hassle-free experience, travel with Nordic Visitor and we’ll take care of the logistics for you. In fact, a dedicated travel consultant will arrange your trip, including accommodation and local transport. So all you need to do is secure your flights to and from Europe.

Depending on the travel style you choose, this could mean booking your rental car with a tried-and-tested supplier or reserving your train and ferry tickets. Opt for a guided tour, and you’ll travel with a handpicked professional guide who’s keen to share their local knowledge with you.

No matter how you get around, you’ll have access to our 24/7 helpline during your trip. So you can contact us at any time if something unexpected crops up. What’s more, we’ll give you a detailed itinerary and travel guide packed with suggested attractions, practical advice and more.

The cost of your trip to Europe will vary based on the package you choose. Find out exactly what you’ll get with the trip you’re interested in by checking the “What’s Included” tab on the tour page.

As standard, Nordic Visitor tours come with:

• • Accommodation
• • Daily breakfast
• • Local transport as detailed in your itinerary
• • Activities included in your tour package (with the chance to add optional excursions)
• • Personalised itinerary
• • Online or printed travel guide with information about attractions and practical travel tips
• • Access to our 24/7 helpline for on-trip support

Depending on the travel style you pick, your trip will include the likes of car rental or the services of a professional, English-speaking guide. On some multi-country tours, you’ll also get internal flights organised by your dedicated travel consultant.

Absolutely, you can tailor your trip to suit your needs. For instance, you could treat yourself to an accommodation upgrade or extend your time in Europe by adding extra nights to your itinerary.

On self-drive tours, you can add extra nights at any point on your itinerary. And on other travel styles, you can extend your trip at either end of the itinerary.

While some tours have activities included already, it’s also possible to personalise your trip by choosing from a range of handpicked optional activities. Imagine having afternoon tea in Edinburgh, going horseriding in Iceland, or taking a boat trip in the Stockholm archipelago.

Browse the “Optional Extras” tab of the tour you’re interested in to see what you can add, or speak to a travel expert for recommendations.

You can choose from a wide range of arrival dates depending on the package and season you are interested in. Each tour has an online availability calendar where you can choose your preferred start date. Click either the “Find your price” or “Dates & prices” button to jump down to a tour’s availability calendar.

If you’ve already booked but need to amend your arrival date, contact your travel consultant to rearrange your booking.

Before booking your tour package, we recommend checking what flights are available. That said, it’s best to wait until after your trip is confirmed to make your travel arrangements. Once your dedicated consultant has sent you a confirmation email, you can go ahead and buy your preferred flights.

Good to know: Some multi-country itineraries include flights within Europe. In this case, these flights will be covered in the price of your tour package, and we’ll organise them for you.
