This is Contiki's Best of Scandinavia (Summer), a 12-day tour that starts in Copenhagen and loops through Denmark, Norway and Sweden. At $2,325 per person it is the lowest-priced package in the Scandinavia and Baltics category on this site, and its 4.9 rating across 118 reviews is the biggest review sample of the three. The listing includes accommodation, guide, some meals and transport in the price, which is generous for a land tour at this tier. It suits travellers who want the Nordic highlights in one summer window without paying fjord-cruise prices.
The route starts in Copenhagen and threads three countries: Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The listing does not state the end city, so confirm the finish point on the live booking page before locking in flights.
Twelve days across three countries is a fast pace. Expect coach transit between stops and short stays in most places, with the trade-off being a wide sweep of Scandinavia in a single trip.
Real time goes to the headline stops; smaller towns are more likely to be passed through than explored. That suits travellers who want breadth over depth and are happy to keep moving.
The from-price for this 12-day Contiki trip is $2,325 per person, and that fare covers accommodation, meals, transport and a guide throughout the itinerary.
International flights are not included, and this matters more than it sounds: the listed price is a land price, so airfare to and from Scandinavia sits entirely on your side of the ledger. Also excluded are extra services the operator sells separately, travel insurance and optional excursions.
Contiki strongly recommends travel insurance but does not require it, and insurance is a contract term rather than a legal Schengen entry condition. Budget the airfare on top of the land price, and confirm the remaining details on the live booking page before you book.
This fits travellers who want a fast, social sweep of Scandinavia: 12 days, three countries, from $2,325 per person, with no group cap stated on the listing. Contiki's audience skews younger, so expect a lively, group-oriented trip rather than a quiet one.
Anyone wanting slow travel, long stays in a single country or a private itinerary should look elsewhere. A slower-paced Scandinavian package, or an independent trip built around one region, would suit that style far better.
The package starts from $2,325 per person for the 12-day trip. That figure is a land price with no airfare in it, since international flights are excluded and booked separately. What the fare does cover is accommodation, meals, transport and a guide. Optional excursions, travel insurance and extra services sold separately by the operator are not part of the price, so factor them in when comparing this tour against others.
Three: Denmark, Norway and Sweden, all Nordic and all inside the Schengen area. The route starts in Copenhagen, and the listing does not state the end city. One caution: visiting a country is not the same as spending a night in it, and some tours cross a border only for a stop or a meal. Check the day-by-day itinerary on the live booking page to see where the 12 nights actually fall.
Travel insurance is not a legal condition of entering the Schengen area for visa-free travellers, so no border rule forces a policy here. It can still be contractual: the operator terms on file for Expat Explore make insurance a condition of booking and require proof before day one. Contiki's own terms are not in that file, so check the listing or Contiki directly. Either way, medical cover across three countries in twelve days is cheap sense.
No, not yet. ETIAS is not in operation and no start date has been published beyond the last quarter of 2026, so nothing is required from you at booking. The Entry Exit System is fully operational since 10 April 2026, but that means passport scans at the border, not an application. Denmark, Norway and Sweden are all in the Schengen area, so there is no non-Schengen country on this route, and 12 days sits comfortably inside the 90-day allowance for visa-free stays.
