All of our travellers receive a complete travel itinerary, including step-by-step instructions for transfers between hotels, airports, ferry terminals, train stations and other key locations, thus ensuring a hassle-free vacation.

Authentic Scandinavia operates in compliance with the EU Package Travel Directive.
All payments towards our multi-day tour packages fall under this EU law and are covered by an insurance policy that guarantees a refund in the unlikely event of insolvency. Authentic Scandinavia has a travel guarantee through Kammarkollegiet, the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency, a state authority under the Ministry of Finance.
If the travel services you have booked cannot be delivered due to the unlikely event of Authentic Scandinavia’s insolvency, you can contact Kammarkollegiet to apply for a refund for services booked through us.
With a focus on sustainability, we aspire to be Scandinavia’s most reliable and innovative travel provider. We will achieve this by working according to the 3 Ps principle:
People: To ensure that our operations benefit the community in which it conducts business as well as the company's employees.
Planet: To select and create travel experiences that do not have any negative impact on our ecosystem.
Profit: To create employment, generate innovation, pay taxes, create wealth and support local travel enterprises by developing a stable year-round revenue stream.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do and we are proud to have received the Travelife Certification in 2024. This award is a recognition of Authentic Scandinavia’s long-term efforts towards sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
