When it comes to marking life’s most meaningful moments, a 60th birthday, a once-in-a-lifetime proposal, retirement celebrations, or ticking the Northern Lights off your bucket list, a luxury holiday to the Arctic offers magic that no material gift can match. Increasingly, travellers are swapping traditional parties for unforgettable experiences in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. With Off The Map Travel, you can celebrate your milestones in style with bespoke Arctic itineraries, perfectly tailored to your occasion.
Luxury Northern Lights Holidays: More Than Just a Getaway
One of the top trending holiday searches in 2025 is “Where to see the Northern Lights”, and it’s no wonder. The Aurora Borealis is nature’s most mesmerising light show, and seeing it is on almost everyone’s travel bucket list, with 2025 marking the Solar Maximum (Solar Max), the peak of the sun’s 11-year cycle, this year offers the strongest Aurora displays in over a decade. Witnessing it in comfort and style? That’s where we come in.
Our tailored Northern Lights holidays to Iceland, Lapland and Northern Norway include prime viewing locations far from light pollution, paired with high-end log cabin escapes, glass igloos, and guided excursions. Whether it’s a romantic Northern Lights holiday in Finland or a family milestone trip to Swedish Lapland, our experts ensure you’re in the right place at the right time, with all the organising taken care of.
60th Birthday Holidays: Adventure Meets Elegance
What better way to say “I still can do this” than with a thrilling snowmobile safari through the Arctic wilderness? Whether it’s a 60th birthday holiday in Norway or a luxury getaway to celebrate retirement in Sweden, we design experiences that inspire.
Take your snowmobiles across the frozen tundra, and stop at the Arctic Circle for a private birthday celebration. A freshly baked 60th birthday cake awaits, candles lit, champagne chilled, all handled by our team on the ground. It’s bold. It’s beautiful. And it’s entirely bespoke.
The Ultimate Proposal Holidays in Scandinavia
Looking for the best place to propose in Iceland or Swedish Lapland? We’ve helped couples turn “Will you marry me?” into the most enchanting moment to tell the grandchildren. Take a husky ride through snowy forests ending in a hidden cabin glowing with candlelight. Or a private dinner under the stars in a glass-roofed dome, on a frozen lake with the Northern Lights dancing above.
From Iceland’s black sand beaches to Finland’s snowy hideaways, our luxury proposal holidays take care of every detail. All you need to bring is the ring, we’ll do the rest.
Retirement Holidays in the Arctic: Your Next Great Chapter
Retirement doesn’t mean slowing down. It’s the start of new adventures, and where better to begin than the untouched beauty of the Nordic North?
Whether it’s a wellness retreat in Finnish Lapland, a photography tour of Norway’s fjords, or a quiet escape to a luxury igloo hotel in Swedish Lapland, we make your vision a reality. Celebrate your freedom with reindeer sleigh rides, ice fishing, snowshoeing, or simply relaxing under the glow of the Aurora.

Celebrating Success: Startups, Promotions and Life’s Big Wins
A growing trend among modern professionals is marking career-defining moments, like selling a startup or landing a major promotion, with a truly unforgettable getaway. Instead of splurging on things, people are choosing to reward their hard work with transformational travel experiences. A luxury glamping escape in the Nordics offers the perfect balance of exclusivity, adventure, and wellbeing. Whether it’s to decompress after years of building a business or to reflect on a career milestone with close friends or a partner, the serenity of the Arctic wilderness provides the ideal setting. Celebrate your successes beneath the Northern Lights, toasting achievements in a wood-fired sauna, or waking up in a remote forest cabin with nothing but stillness and snow for company. It’s a bold and meaningful way to say, “I made it.”
