Satu on planning a Nordic trip: the Scandinavia Travel Tales podcast (Aug 2026)
How long do you really need in the Nordic region, and how do you avoid a trip that rushes from one highlight to the next? Our Director of Product, Satu Vänskä-Westgarth, joined Olivia on the Scandinavia Travel Tales podcast to talk it through: how Norway, Sweden and Denmark differ, the mistakes first-time visitors tend to make, and where to go when you want something quieter than the usual route. The conversation ends on a hidden gem off the Norwegian coast worth remembering.

50 Degrees North Unique Selling Points
- 50 Degrees North employs staff from more than one Nordic country, which means we offer in-depth specialist knowledge of each destination.
- We aim higher than most of our competitors with regards to quality and uniqueness of our itineraries. E.g. we have run photography tours, Nordic food tours, design and architecture tours, etc.
- We are the “affordable” high end and boutique choice for the Nordic region. If you have top end luxury clients, please contact our Luxury Division.
- We give honest advice in regards to our product, local conditions and what clients can expect. We will not sell a product that we don't believe is right for your client just to secure a sale.
- Rather than trying to sell everything, we have created strong relationships with a handful of local suppliers including properties (boutique hotels, lodges, castles, manor houses) and activity providers. This means our rates are good, and our clients are often given preferential service. We avoid chain hotels where possible.
- We keep updated on local conditions and product, and our staff travels to our destinations on a regular basis.
- Our staff has many years experience in the travel industry, with a great contact network, giving us access to product and services that is not readily available through ordinary channels.
- When possible, we will look for the unique experience for your clients rather than the traditional and well-trodden choice.
Your Benefits From Us
We believe that our specially crafted tours in unique destinations will deliver your clients benefits and experiences that cannot be measured in money. After their trip your clients will most likely share with excitement stories about their first encounter with a Polar Bear or Moose in the Nordic Wilderness, the night they spent in a glass igloo under the Northern Lights or the sailing trip they took under the Midnight Sun - a room upgrade, free lunch or late check-out might not get a mention.
