Arriving in northern Norway, a private helicopter will transfer you to the Lofoten Islands, a Nordic wonderland nestled deep in the Arctic Circle. You’ll be welcomed to Leknes with canapés and aquavit shots on the powdery beach, before heading straight off to kayak across a glassy lake – a bracing introduction to the dramatic scenery.

Sail across the maelstrom to Moskenesøya and check-in at Holmen Lofoten, a family-owned hotel in the village of Sørvågen. It may be remote, but there’s plenty to do: adventurers can forage for seasonal ingredients, learn Viking knife-making techniques, embark on an orca-spotting cruise and unwind in a hot tub on the jetty. After dinner in the hotel restaurant, retire to your restored fisherman’s cabin, keeping watch for the elusive Northern Lights.

Your adventure continues with a day in Iceland, exploring the inside of a dormant volcano in Reykjavik before flying to the Westman Islands, which were formed by underwater volcanic eruptions off the south coast. You’ll have the chance to hike up Fire Mountain, a rocky hill created by a huge eruption on “Pompeii of the North”, Heimaey. Touch the ground, which sometimes still feels warm in an eerie throwback to the natural disaster.

Then it’s on to Greenland, where a private helicopter will whisk you across the icecap for a three-night stay at Camp Kiattua, a remote retreat near the base of Mount Kinaussak in the isolated Nuuk fjord. Your cosy tipi tent is swathed in cosy furs and sheepskins and even has its own hot shower and wood-burner. Spend the next few days adventuring through the awe-inspiring landscape with hiking, climbing, spearfishing, kayaking and paddle boarding.

Wrap up in survival suits for a thrilling expedition by RIB boat, following in the footsteps of explorers as you zip up the fjords in search of walruses, seals and belugas. You’ll spend the next two nights in the world’s northernmost commercial cabin, Nordenskiöld Lodge. Perched on the moraine shore of an icy fjord, there’s no running water or electricity; instead, wood is used to heat the cosy cabins and drinking water is sourced from the melting glacier.

You’ll spend much of your time here exploring the jaw-dropping Nordenskiöld Glacier, crossing crevasses and taking in spectacular views over the ethereal landscape. If the weather allows, there’s even the chance to kayak to the glacier front, looking out for adorable seals along the way. A soothing sauna awaits to warm tired muscles at the lodge.

Get a glimpse into the lives of northern Scandinavia’s indigenous Sami people, making your way on horseback to a reindeer farm to meet the herders and help with their daily tasks. Look out for elk and wolverine on a guided walk through the countryside, before enjoying a lunch of smoked reindeer and foraged berries at a Sami settlement.

Tonight, those craving a final adventure can camp out under the stars in a heated glass igloo whilst the Northern Lights dance overhead. Witnessing the otherworldly spirals from your own private sanctuary in the dead of night is a truly extraordinary experience.
