Choosing the perfect destination for your honeymoon can be tricky. Still, many couples look for locations that offer romance, privacy and an experience they will always remember rather than opting for a busy seaside resort packed with other tourists.
The Nordics are overflowing with dramatic landscapes, incredible scenery, and endless outdoor summer and winter excursions to choose from. The range of charming, luxurious and secluded accommodations will make the most of your special holiday and give you a chance to relax, soak up the ambience, and reflect on your wedding celebrations.
In this guide, created with help from the Nordic travel experts at the Baltic Travel Company, we’ll explore some of the many locations in this beautiful part of the world that are ideal for a honeymoon and highlight some of the packages and tours you may wish to consider.
What the Nordics Offer as a Honeymoon Destination
The Nordics span several countries, each with astonishing wildlife, architecture, scenery and experiences that will suit every couple. We organise packages and honeymoons at all times of the year to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Finland, and the smaller Faroe Islands or Svalbard for a honeymoon far away from the crowds.
Each location provides opportunities for adventure, experiences, and seclusion, with the appeal of glaciers, deep icy fords, expansive landscapes of mountains, forests, lakes and oceans, and picturesque cities, small rural towns and charming villages with Viking heritage.
Whether you’d love a cosy cabin concealed in the snowy wilderness, a glass igloo for an exclusive view of the Northern Lights, or a summer trip to explore the countryside by horseback, boat, or on foot, our travel advisers are here to assist.
Unique Accommodation and Excursions to Include in a Nordic Destination Honeymoon
The Nordics are known for wild landscapes, warm hospitality, and delicious cuisines. Depending on the dates of your wedding and the type of holiday you'd most enjoy, you'll have no end of options.
To give you a brief idea, we've compiled our travel team's favourite experiences to illustrate the various accommodations available throughout the Nordic region.
- Snuggling up in a romantic tree hotel or remote lodge in Northern Sweden. Imagine forest spas, lakeside views, and dinner for two in complete tranquillity.
- Aurora cabins and glass igloos, with the chance to snowmobile, dog sled and glacier hike during the day, followed by evenings in your cabin watching the Northern Lights overhead.
- Coastal cruises in Norway, with the Hurtigruten fleet offering luxury lodgings, fine dining, champagne, and treats available on board in your own private cabin.
One of the best aspects of choosing a location off the beaten path is that you have your choice of what to do, see, and experience. You can spend time taking it all in, book active daytime trips and guided tours, or enjoy wildlife photography safaris or hiking, skiing, and whale watching.
As the complete opposite of a conventional tropical beach holiday, Nordic honeymoons are perfect for couples who prefer a snowy backdrop, wish to visit a country they have never been to, or simply like to spend their leisure time relaxing, exploring and trying new things.
Many lodges, cabins, and even wilderness hotels offer exclusive-use hot tubs and saunas, romantic campfires, private guided tours, or in-room dining to give you as much time as you wish to spend together after your special occasion.
If your dream honeymoon involves exploring and attending cultural events and festivals, we recommend a summer trip. The Midnight Sun season means the extended daylight hours give you extra time to try as many excursions as you wish.
Alternatively, the Northern Lights season, which begins in the Autumn, is a brilliant time to try outdoor winter sports, spot rare Arctic species such as polar bears, and see the Aurora up close and personal.
Honeymoon Holiday Packages in the Nordics
The best place to start when making decisions about your honeymoon is to think about what you'd both like from this once-in-a-lifetime holiday – whether you'd like a summer trip somewhere warm with stunning beaches, would like an adventurous activity-filled break or want to prioritise somewhere tranquil and peaceful.
Winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular, with many couples opting to travel to Lapland to see the Northern Lights—a natural phenomenon that is infinitely romantic and magical.
Some of the packages we often organise for brides and grooms, with the option to tailor their itinerary and excursions, include:
- Lake Escape: A four-day retreat into the heart of the Finnish lakes at the amazing Jarvisydan Spa adjacent to Lake Saimaa. Enjoy beauty treatments, delicious cuisine, massages, and lakeside views for a truly peaceful break tucked in the forest.
- Lapland for Lovers is a snowy winter four-day adventure that includes the chance to see reindeer, experience husky sledding, travel on a snowmobile, and stay overnight in the Aurora Camp to see the lights dancing in the night sky above your private bubble.
- Arctic Island Retreat: This five-day excursion takes you to Northern Norway and the captivating town of Bodo, hidden between soaring mountains at the tip of a peninsula. Couples can enjoy ferry cruises, trekking, and relaxation, with private cabins providing exclusive Northern Lights views.
- Swedish Icehotel and Treehotel: This six-day package is tailored to you. It includes accommodation in the famous Icehotel and Treehotel, high in the forest with unparalleled views over the treetops. You can also try Northern Lights snowmobile tours, an Arctic wilderness safari, dog sledding, and moose safaris—or saddle up to see the Aurora on horseback.
