THE MIDNIGHT SUN RULES THE SKIES
Visit Sweden and experience a worthwhile trip to the Northern Lights the Aurora Borealis and take a dog sled. Enjoy amazing boat trips on reflective lakes.
If you are on your way to fulfil a lifetime’s promise to – one day – see the Aurora Borealis, then take a dog sled. For romance, a snow mobile can never match a team of huskies in full flight; their breaths hanging orbs in the frigid air, racing across great plains of pure, white snow. And when you do see the Northern Lights, you’ll realise that however you travelled this far north, the journey was entirely worthwhile.
If the Northern Lights aren’t your priority, we suggest you visit this fascinating country when the Midnight Sun rules the skies. Instead of snow, you’ll find the countryside covered in a medley of lush green meadows, bursting with in fragile wildflowers. You’ll see rolling hills and walk through fragrant pine forests. You’ll take boating trips on vast, reflective lakes and visit traditional manor houses and tiny, clapboard local churches.
We also recommend a city break in Stockholm, where the old town of Gamla Stan will take you back to the 13th century, and from where you can explore the charming islands of the Stockholm archipelago.

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS
The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
