Trafalgar is excited to help Canadian clients celebrate this year’s International Happiness Day on March 20th. According to the UN’s just-released 2018 World Happiness Report, the top five happiest places on earth are: Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.

If happiness and wellness are on a client’s must-have list, Trafalgar is on a mission to help pursue and experience The Good Life where guests can “follow their bliss” with these immersive guided vacations.

 

Finland

Trafalgar’s 15-day Best of Finland, Russia and The Baltic States trip begins in the country’s hip capital city, Helsinki and continues to Russia’s must-see cities, plus Europe's eastern gems.

Clients will gain fascinating insights into the heritage of the Tsars and spend days seeing the magnificent sights of Moscow, celebrating indomitable spirit of Mother Russia along the way.

 

Norway

Tales of Vikings and trolls await on Trafalgar’s NEW for 2018 Best of Norway trip, a 9-day journey through Norway, the second on the UN’s 2018 list.

Clients can take in the startling beauty of this Scandinavian country and her people, including Trafalgar’s famous ‘Be My Guest’ dinner with the 5th generation Øvre-Eide family on their livestock farm, which has been a working farm since the 1500s.

Guests will encounter the ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ of the Fjords, Olympic triumphs and the trading heritage of the Hanseatics as they answer the call of Norway’s untamed wilderness and embrace Scandinavian sophistication.

 

Denmark

Third on the happiness list is Denmark, and Trafalgar’s 14-day Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords trip makes it easy for clients to discover the deep fjords, glaciers and islands that line the Scandinavian coastline. Clients can discover people and places that inspired Hans Christian Andersen to share tales of mermaids, queens and ugly ducklings.

 

Iceland

This year’s fourth happiest destination Iceland, is also one of the world’s hottest places to visit and Trafalgar’s 10-day Ultimate Iceland makes it easy for clients to discover the stunning scenery of this country and the warmth of the Icelanders.

Trafalgar exclusives, such as a visit to a local horse farm where guests will learn about the pure Icelandic breed, make this a happy stop indeed. Guests will love exploring the quirky capital, Reykjavik, crossing the largest mass of lava to have ever flowed on the face of the earth and bathing in the healing waters of the geothermal Blue Lagoon.

 

Switzerland

Wrapping up the top 5 happiest places is Switzerland. Trafalgar’s 8-day Contrasts of Switzerland trip highlights the diversity of this happy place, from its natural mountain scenery, lakes, and refined resorts to its cosmopolitan cities.
