Join a luxury gay group trip and discover Sweden and Norway. Your adventure will begin in Stockholm. You’ll visit the ABBA Museum which is rather camp and totally bonkers – everything you’d expect, in other words. From dancing queens to 17th-century mariners – quite a leap – you’ll visit the only fully preserved ship from the early-modern period.
Over in Norway, you’ll sail down fjords in the shadow of the Sunnmøre Alps. One of the highlights of this trip will be a helicopter ride through the fjords. You’ll also cycle stunning mountain passes and wine and dine at the IceBar in Stockholm.
