The Nordics - seen from the inside
Grand Nordic Midsummer
The Grand Nordic Midsummer is a 14-day journey through three capitals - Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm - and some of the most stunning landscapes and midsummer experiences in the Nordics.
This is the Nordics as they are living: design and tradition side by side, the Midnight Sun over the sea, the forest and the archipelago, the sauna and the slow table. And all the best of the Nordic kitchen - from Michelin dining to private cooking classes.
Travelled in a small group. Personally hosted. Curated and immersive, with no bucket list and never from a script.
We believe the most meaningful journeys are not the fastest ones. We move at a pace that leaves room to taste, to talk, to sit a little longer at the table and let a place work its way into you.
This is a journey shaped and hosted by our Danish founder, whose private relationships with chefs, designers, estate owners etc. across the Nordics open doors. Access, not admission tickets.

A true host
This journey is designed and accompanied from arrival to departure by a Dane who calls this region home - present for the questions, the detours, and the moments a guidebook can’t anticipate.
Private access
Nordic relationships built by our founder over years open doors that are normally closed - private homes, ateliers, tables and encounters reserved for a very small and private circle.
Slow travel
In a world of checklist and traditional sight-seeing travel, this journey lingers. Fewer stops, deeper immersion, time to actually arrive and belong - the way the most discerning travelers wish to see and explore the world.
Participation over observation
You’ll cook alongside a Nordic chef, forage with a forager, sit at a craftsman’s bench - not just watch from behind a rope. We curate journeys for you to truly be involved in.
Beyond the highlights
From the great landmarks and midsummer experiences of Copenhagen, Tromsø, Oslo and Stockholm to the places behind the door: the local table, the maker’s studio, the kitchen behind the scenes and the stories only those who live here can tell.
Nordic cuisine as narrative
Every day is threaded with food - from Michelin-starred tables to a fisherman’s quayside catch - because in the Nordics, the story of a place is often best told through what’s on the plate.
- Nordic cuisine, food walks & private cooking classes
- Historical castles such as Drottningholm Palace and Hamlet’s Kronborg
- Vikings & Nordic “must see” museums
- Handpicked UNESCO experiences
- Breathtaking Nordic nature & landmarks
- Michelin restaurants, country inns, morning yoga & swims
And a lot of hidden gems and surprises along the route through Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
This itinerary presents a selection of the journey’s highlights. A fully detailed program will be shared with you upon booking, and may be subject to minor adjustments.
