Arctic Norway just got a lot easier to reach ✈️

From October 23, 2026, Icelandair is flying twice weekly to Tromsø — Norway's Arctic capital, and one of the best places anywhere to watch the Northern Lights. One stop via Reykjavik, and afternoon departures out of Tromsø that get you home the same day.

The best part: a stopover in Iceland comes at no extra airfare. So Northern Lights over the fjords, geothermal lagoons and ice caves can all sit on the same ticket.

Housekeeping, but the important kind. 📌

We've got a new toll free In Destination number for AV guests in Ireland and the UK: +1 888 605 6516. Clients calling from their US mobile shouldn't pick up international charges, it'll be local rates or free depending on their provider.

A few practical bits:

📄 The number's being added to AV vouchers and travel docs going forward. No action needed on your side. Existing bookings aren't affected and guests already traveling will reach us just as they always have.

📞 It's an In Destination line only. If your client's calling about a booking change or a general query, that's still one for your usual AV contact.

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out 😊

Okay, okay, we're doing the kinda chic thing!

Most first trips to Italy follow the same lovely path, Rome, Florence, Venice. No notes, it's wonderful. But there's a whole other Italy sitting just off that route: northern lakes you cross by ferry, the Dolomites, the quiet corners of Rome that never make the guidebooks, and a limoncello that arrives whether you ordered it or not.

Iceland: the land of fire and ice

Some trips you describe. Iceland, you relive. ❄️

Winter is when the island is at its most dramatic. Northern Lights under some of the clearest dark skies in Europe, steaming geothermal lagoons against a snowy backdrop, and electric-blue ice caves carved into ancient glaciers.

Whether you want a ready-made winter escape or something built entirely around you, we'll help you craft it.

When clients refer their friends to you because of the trip you booked... That's the dividend of choosing the right tour operator. ✨

A huge thank you to Robin for sharing this with our team, and to Adina at Authentic for crafting the kind of customised itineraries that keep clients coming back (and bringing friends with them).

We don't take repeat trust for granted. 💛

Norway: fjords, railways & Arctic light

There's a hush to Norway in winter that's hard to put into words. ❄️

Picture scenic fjord railways winding past frozen waterfalls, cruises through snow-dusted peaks and mirror-still water, and the aurora dancing over Tromsø deep in the Arctic Circle.

It's breathtaking year-round — but winter is something your clients won't stop talking about.

Finland: home of the Arctic winter

Nowhere does winter quite like Finnish Lapland. ❄️

Dog sledding through silent, snow-blanketed forest. Glass igloos with the aurora overhead. And for the families on your books — meeting Santa in Rovaniemi, snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, and a proper Finnish sauna (the snow roll afterward is optional).

A bucket-list winter to book again and again.
