Bentours 2012 Scandi Russia brochure
BENTOURS has released its 2012 Scandinavia & Russia brochure which includes 11 new itineraries ranging from combined rail and river journeys to special interest tours.
The 84-page brochure features a total of 58 itineraries across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, the Baltics, Iceland and Greenland.
“Our 2012 brochure features a number of exciting new tours as well as some of our favourite packages from previous years,” Bentours business head Jeremy Hearst said.
“We’ve added more interesting independent tours combining rail and cruise touring, including a Scandinavian rail tour combined with a Russian river cruise, and a Norwegian rail tour combined with Swedish canal cruise.”
New tours include the 25-day Ultimate Scandinavia and Russia from $9128* per person twin share. Starting in Copenhagen, this independent tour combines train journeys through Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia with a cruise on the 4-star MS Volga Dream between St Petersburg and Moscow.
The new 6-day Volcanoes and Glaciers coach tour explores Iceland’s infamous Eyjafjallajokull volcano and the magnificent Vatnajokull – Europe’s largest glacier from $1524* per person twin share, while the new 12-day independent Scandinavian Summer Delights combines train journeys through Norway’s breathtaking fjordland region with a serene cruise on Sweden’s picturesque Gota Canal from $4429* per person twin share.
Bentours is also introducing Russian specialty tours which delve into the country’s diverse history and culture including the 6-day Back in the USSR and Royal St Petersburg.
“Returning in 2012 are favourites like The Grand Nordic Coast & Capital Tour, Volga Dream River Cruise, Norway in a Nutshell, Christmas in Lapland and Follow the Lights,” Mr Hearst said.
“Early reports indicate that 2012 is set to be an important year for Aurora Borealis thermospheric activity, and our Northern Lights tours provide opportunities to experience this jaw dropping
natural phenomenon in person.”
Bentours is offering a 10% discount on the 12-day Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Voyage, which explores the majestic fjords, stunning mountains and shimmering glaciers of Norway’s rugged coastline, when booked by 31 December 2012.
