Every human gene carries a spark of adventure. If you're tired of the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5°N in Taiwan, why not take the plunge and experience the thrill of venturing into the Arctic Circle at 66.5°N? On this journey, you’ll encounter blue hot springs, pristine ice fields, emerald pine forests, gaze at the midnight sun spectacle at North Cape, try your luck at gold panning within the polar circle, and stay in a fairytale-like valley fjord paradise. This unbelievably amazing trip is the Ouya Travel “17-Day Five Nordic Countries & Iceland Tour (Including North Cape & Southeast Iceland Coast),” and also the most incredible journey on the planet!

Iceland’s Song of Ice and Fire

As one of the five Nordic countries, Iceland is located at the intersection of the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. With its unique geographical position, glaciers can be seen on the surface, and because it lies on the mid-ocean ridge, it is a country with frequent volcanic and geological activity. For a long time, ice and fire have together created the island’s spectacular scenery.

Ouya Travel is the first to offer a 5-day, 4-night stay in Iceland—the longest duration available on the market. It is the only tour in Taiwan that takes you deep into Europe’s largest ice cap, the Vatnajökull Glacier. You’ll ride an amphibious vehicle to explore Lake Öskjuvatn, enjoy a giant glacier-walking vehicle tour on the Langjökull Glacier, experience the classic Golden Circle tour, and soak in the Blue Lagoon. Immerse yourself in the pure beauty of nature.

The giant glacier-walking vehicle has wheels almost as tall as a person, allowing you to roam freely across the endless ice fields and venture into the vast silver world. Admire the surreal sight of fire and ice—the glacier covering an extinct volcano is undoubtedly one of the most unique landscapes on Earth, leaving a deep impression.

Norway: Witnessing the Midnight Sun

A must-visit destination, Norway boasts the most stunning attractions among Nordic countries and also the highest travel costs. Ouya Travel spares no expense in planning a full 7 days and 6 nights to deeply explore the classic fjord region, including scenic cruises through the Sognefjord and Geirangerfjord, and 4WD trips to the Briksdalsbreen Glacier. Additionally, experience the Norway in a Nutshell scenic mountain train, the Eagle Road, and the Trollstigen (Troll’s Path), taking you to admire the scenery via different modes of transport.

The highly anticipated North Cape is a granite cape jutting out into the sea. Here, alongside travelers from around the globe, you can watch the midnight sun on the ocean—a breathtaking sight that moves the soul. You’ll also receive a North Cape certificate, proving you’ve set foot on the northernmost point of Europe, creating an adventurous memory to last a lifetime.

In addition, Alta, a new landmark in the Arctic Circle fjord port city, is home to the Arctic Cathedral. Its architecture blends the unique aurora-inspired style of the region, making the church not just a place of worship but also a fine balance between modern architecture and nature.

Finland, Denmark & Sweden Highlights

2017 marked Finland’s 100th anniversary of independence and it was also ranked among the top ten travel destinations in the backpacker bible “Lonely Planet”—definitely worth a visit. The itinerary includes a visit to Santa Claus Village, the Sámi Theme Park, the Finnish Defence Fortress (UNESCO 1991), and classic Finnish design such as the Rock Church. You’ll also stay in the most authentic pine-log holiday cabins in Finnish Lapland and embark on a polar gold-panning adventure.

The purest gold in the world can be found in Finnish Lapland within the Arctic Circle. Gold prospecting fever swept the region in the 19th century, with people traveling great distances to chase their dreams of striking it rich. Today, visitors can try their luck at gold panning by the Ivalojoki River. It’s said that the largest gold nugget found in Lapland to date was discovered here—why not test your luck?

For Denmark, visit the hometown of The Little Mermaid and one of the most beautiful castles in the Nordic region, Frederiksborg Castle. In Sweden, head to Drottningholm Palace (UNESCO 1991) and the Vasa Museum to immerse yourself in Nordic culture and charm.

Premium Accommodation Upgraded

No Nordic scenery tour is complete without a visit to the Baltic Sea. A cruise is the perfect way to enjoy the seascape. Ouya has carefully arranged a luxury cruise aboard the Silja Line between Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Upgrade to a Deluxe ocean-view cabin—like staying in a floating palace—and enjoy a lavish Viking seafood buffet while taking in the breathtaking sea views. It’s the most unforgettable northern maritime holiday.

In the Norwegian fjord region, we’ve selected two century-old noble hotels, Hotel Union and Hotel Kviknes, and upgraded to fjord-view rooms. Enjoy a sumptuous buffet dinner at the hotel for an unparalleled luxurious experience.
