Jeannine with Travels by Danielle

10/06/2026

What if January looked like this?

Chasing the Northern Lights across the Arctic.
Driving your own team of huskies through the snow.
Snowmobiling to the point where Norway, Sweden and Finland meet.
Ice fishing beside an open fire.
Visiting a reindeer farm and riding through the snow by sleigh.

This seven-day winter adventure begins in Tromsø, Norway and travels through some of the most beautiful landscapes of the Arctic before ending in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland.

And January is prime Northern Lights season.

The itinerary takes you from Norway’s coastal fjords to the wide-open wilderness of Kilpisjärvi and Muonio—areas with very little artificial light and incredible opportunities to see the aurora—before finishing in Rovaniemi, home of Santa Claus Village.

January 22–28, 2027
From $3,889 per person, based on two sharing

Your accommodations, 6 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 6 dinners, all scheduled activities, thermal outerwear for the wilderness excursions, tour leader, local guides and 24-hour emergency support are included.

This is not a “sit on the bus and look out the window” kind of trip. You are out there experiencing it.

Huskies. Reindeer. Snowmobiles. Arctic wilderness. And hopefully a sky absolutely dancing with the Northern Lights.

For someone who has always dreamed of experiencing Lapland and the Northern Lights but has not known how to put all the pieces together, I LOVE this itinerary.

Special pricing is available for the January 22 departure when booked by October 15.

Who would you take with you on this one?

Oh my goodness I’m so thrilled about this one. Such a fabulous ocean cruise company getting into the river cruise space. ❤️

Explora Journeys has signed a Letter of Intent with Dutch shipbuilder Den Breejen Shipyard for the construction of its first luxury river ships, marking the brand’s planned entry into river cruising.

A little note from me to you…

I will admit, I do not post here nearly as often as I should. Most of my travel life happens over on my personal page because, well, travel really is a big part of my life.

That is where you will find me traveling, learning, exploring hotels, ships and destinations, drinking entirely too much coffee, finding the best gluten-free food, and sharing the things I discover along the way.

But behind all of that is Travels by Danielle—where those experiences, relationships and continued education turn into thoughtfully planned trips for my clients.

The past two days have been full of learning with ASTA and Travel Leaders Network, exploring everything from luxury custom travel and small-group journeys to ocean and river cruising, yachts and rail.

So if you are following me here, I’ll try to be better about sharing more of what I’m learning, seeing and planning.

And if you want more of the travel, learning and real-life adventures along the way, you are always welcome to follow my personal page too.

Either way, I am glad you are here. And when you are ready to see more of this beautiful world, I would love to help you figure out the best way to do it.

🇮🇹 Is Italy on your bucket list? Because this is one you’ll want to join us for!

Our agency is hosting a special Virtual Italy Travel Night with Guido from Ciao Italy, one of our trusted partners for creating incredible, personalized trips through Italy—the kind that go beyond simply checking places off a list.

We’ll be talking about some of Italy’s favorites—Rome, Venice, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre—but also hidden gems, authentic local experiences and those little details that can turn a trip to Italy into something really special.

You all know how much I love travel that lets you truly experience a destination, and Italy is made for that. The food, the history, the little villages, the people…and yes, ALL the pasta. 🇮🇹🍝

Whether Italy is already in the plans or sitting somewhere on your “someday” list, come spend the evening dreaming and learning with us.

Link to register is in the comments. Once registered, Zoom will email your personal link to join.

Because really…is there ever a bad time to start dreaming about Italy? ❤️

La dolce vita is waiting! 🇮🇹

I’d love to see you! If you’re local, come by the Morgan + Co. Summer Market on July 24 from 4–8 PM.

I’ll be in my cozy little nook, talking all things travel and sharing details about my 2027 Women’s Luxury South Africa Safari—a journey I cannot wait to experience with an incredible group of women.

And because I can’t show up without a little fun…

I’m giving away a travel mahjong set (because three of my favorite things are coffee, mahjong, and travel). Stop by, say hello, and enter to win!

Then grab a bite from one of the food trucks, shop the amazing local vendors, and enjoy a fun summer evening supporting small businesses.

Whether you’re dreaming about your next adventure, curious about the safari, or just want to chat over our shared love of travel (or mahjong!), I’d love to see you. See you on the 24th! ✈️☕🀄🦁

What’s your ultimate animal to see on safari someday? Mine is a leopard. I’ve never seen one yet on 4 safaris! But, enjoy this photo, as this is in my top 3. I took this on safari in 2018.
