Sustainable Travel
Our team is actively striving for the Sustainable Travel Finland certification by 2026. Nordic Odyssey’s philosophy has always prioritized the preservation of nature and local cultures. In our future initiatives, we will ensure that our sustainable development plan is integral to all our operations. We also encourage our travelers to opt for low-carbon transportation when reaching Rovaniemi, such as utilizing the night train from Helsinki. In an age of mass tourism, Nordic Odyssey is committed to distinguishing ourselves by aligning our development and daily practices with sustainable tourism principles.
WHERE DO WE OPERATE?
Nordic Odyssey is based in Rovaniemi, the capital town of Finnish Lapland located on the Arctic Circle and official hometown of Santa Claus.
Most of our multi-day trips connect main towns and scenic destinations in Lapland, but we also organise long holiday packages from/to other parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland.
