Our Story

A tradition of excellence in travel since 1982

Founded and operated by native Scandinavians for 38 years, and originally named “Scandinavian American World Tours”, we have helped thousands of people visit the region and create memories. An unquestioned leader in Scandinavian travel, we’ve built our outstanding reputation for service and trip design through dedication to the region and local expertise. Today, we continue the goal of creating unforgettable experiences in our favorite destinations and are dedicated to connecting groups, families, companies and couples from around the world with Scandinavia.

In 2019, we joined the Old Sod Travel family, a luxury travel company that provides custom trips to England, Ireland, and Scotland. Since then, the company has grown in size and experiences.

As we continue to grow, we needed to evolve the brand to reflect where it is and where it’s headed. Now our name, Scandinavian Travel, reflects our mission of providing high-end, genuine care to our clients with luxury tours to Scandinavian countries.

Today, we continue the goal of creating unforgettable experiences in our favorite destinations and are dedicated to connecting groups, families, companies and couples from around the world with Scandinavia. From the fjords of Norway to the Golden Circle in Iceland, our team of destination experts provides the best luxury custom experiences in the region. Our team will work with you to create the perfect trip for your group, with no detail overlooked.

Scandinavian countries are known for their hospitality and welcoming attitude toward visitors, and the region is famous for some of the happiest residents in the world! Each country has a different term for this idea of comfort and happiness – ranging from the familiar Danish “hygge” to Swedish “mys” and Norwegian “kosellig.”

We want to extend this Scandinavian way of life to our guests, ensuring that you find comfort and happiness in your journey!

Scandinavian Travel is a Blank Canvas Tours company. Looking to travel to other destinations? Check out our sister company Old Sod Travel for trips to Ireland and the British Isles!
