View Profile

50 Degrees North is a niche, independently owned, specialist travel company that aims to give you a little more than just a holiday.

50 Degrees North specializes in holiday travel to Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, the Arctic. We specialize regionally, as we believe it is not possible to be good at everything. We also focus on offering the most enriching style of travel.

WHY TRAVEL WITH US?

There are many reasons to book your Nordic or Arctic holiday with us, and here are a few to think about;

You get to speak with a passionate local Scandinavian with firsthand knowledge from the region. Be sure to check us out here.

  • All our sales staff and owners are Scandinavians, and we know our home region like the back of our hand. This expertise is unique in the industry, and adds significant value to each booking, ensuring our customers have the best possible holiday experience.
  • As Scandinavians, we have a strong relationship with local suppliers and hoteliers. We contract directly with local guides, hoteliers and transport companies. There are no middlemen taking a cut, and our rates are competitive. That said; we are not in the game of competing for the cheapest available rate of the day. The personal touch and care we provide for every trip we put together goes far beyond anything offered through an online booking site.
  • We keep updated on local conditions to benefit your holiday. This may include; a) knowledge on which areas of town have building works taking place which may affect your good night’s sleep; b) knowledge of which cruise ship may be docking in small fjord villages when you happen to be there seeking peace and quiet; c) alternative transport options taking you away from the crowds.
  • 50 Degrees North has offices in Lillehammer (Norway) as well as Melbourne, (Australia) and will be able to respond to sales and operational inquiries in three time zones.
Why we love this operator
As a regional tour operator with a mostly Scandinavian staff, they are deeply familiar with the northern landscape.
What they’re known for
Speciality tours to Nordic, Russian and Arctic destinations for all types of travelers looking to explore above the 50th parallel north.
