Blue Parallel Expands Portfolio With New High Arctic And Scandinavian City Experiences

Blue Parallel has announced an expansion of its bespoke travel portfolio, introducing new itineraries in Norway’s High Arctic region and a three-city Scandinavian cultural journey covering Oslo, Stockholm, and Copenhagen.

Founded by Emmanuel Burgio, the company has developed a reputation for curating tailor-made journeys with a focus on access to UNESCO World Heritage sites and authentic insider experiences. These new itineraries extend Blue Parallel’s reach into northern Europe, complementing its existing catalog of cultural and adventure-focused journeys.

“Since founding Blue Parallel more than 20 years ago, my vision has always been to connect discerning travelers with the world’s most extraordinary cultural and natural treasures in the most extraordinary ways possible,” says Blue Parallel Founder Emmanuel Burgio. “Expanding into Norway’s High Arctic – which is a perfect vantage point for the Northern Lights, and something we’ve seen a notable rising interest in in recent years – and designing journeys to these remarkable cities are natural next steps for us. Our travelers, many of whom are repeat clients, always want more and trust us to go beyond the expected, opening doors to experiences that would otherwise be out of reach.”
