Tuesday 12 May 2026, Melbourne, Australia: Sleep beneath the stars in a glass-roofed igloo, sip whisky in a 13th-century fortress, and channel your inner Chris Hemsworth in the wild landscapes that shaped Thor.
It's all on the itinerary of a brand-new private charter tour just unveiled by Luxury Escapes, and Australians are first in line.
The premium travel company today revealed its inaugural Arctic Wonders Exclusive Private Charter:a 16-day Nordic odyssey sweeping across Iceland, Scotland, Norway, Finland and Sweden aboard a privately chartered Boeing 737-300.
Crafted by Luxury Escapes' in-house tours team, the journey begins amid Stockholm's cobblestoned streets before winging its way to Finland's magical Lapland.
The tour will also take in Norway's wild coastal wilderness, Iceland's otherworldly volcanic landscapes and Scotland, where the adventure ends with a wee dram of whisky and dinner inside a castle that's stood since the 1200s.
Luxury Escapes Co-Founder & CEO Adam Schwab says, “Nordic destinations are incredibly atop our member's bucket lists, fueled by their cinematic landscapes made famous in Hollywood blockbusters, as well as a rise in nature-focused travel.”
He added, "What makes this charter so special is that it connects destinations commercial airlines don't reach, meaning less time in transit and more time actually exploring these unique places.”
