Effortless Train Travel
For many travellers, early airport arrivals, long security queues, and the growing uncertainty around delays, price increases and cancellations can take the shine off even the most exciting escape. At Off The Map Travel, we believe travel should feel effortless from the very beginning. That is why no fly holidays are becoming an increasingly popular way to explore some of Europe’s most remarkable destinations.

No Fly Holidays for Families
No fly holidays are also particularly well suited to families. Without the pressures of strict baggage limits, airport queues, and rigid boarding processes, travelling with children becomes far more manageable. There is space to move around, time to relax together, and the journey itself becomes part of the adventure rather than something to get through. Some of our team have experienced this first hand on iconic rail routes such as the Flam railway in Norway, where dramatic fjords and waterfalls turn travel time into a highlight in its own right, something that is just as memorable for younger travellers as it is for adults.

A relaxed and sustainable alternative to flying
A no fly holiday offers a relaxed and sustainable alternative to air travel. Instead of rushing through airports, you travel by rail, watching the scenery unfold outside your window as you move seamlessly from one destination to the next. There is something inherently calming about train travel. It allows you to slow down, settle into the rhythm of the journey, and appreciate the landscapes you would otherwise pass over at thirty thousand feet.
One of the greatest advantages is the ease of the experience. Rail journeys typically depart and arrive in city centres, removing the need for lengthy airport transfers. Generous luggage allowances mean you can pack comfortably without worrying about restrictions, and there is space to move around, stretch your legs, and enjoy the journey at your own pace.
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.

Arctic Retreat was simply magical. Graham and his team were superb. Their entire focus was on ensuring we had an outstanding experience. The accommodation, setting and food were all excellent. The team, experienced professionals, each brought their own personal touch and local nuance. It was faultless. The dog sledging trip directly from Arctic Retreat was also superb. We would return to Arctic Retreat in a heartbeat.

What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.

I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.

We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
Kristen
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!

Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.

Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Doreen
The ease of everything stood out to me. All we had to do was be there at the right time. The dog sledding was the highlight for my daughter and sister. We had the best time! For me, Manshausen was the highlight. We were very lucky and the only guests there for the majority of our stay. The staff was amazing and the food was so delicious. We had moose steak and it was the best meal I’ve ever had.
The cabins were comfortable and we were so lucky to have 2 clear nights where we just sat and watched the northern lights. We were able to get some awesome pictures too.
I appreciate all your time and care with planning our trip! I won’t hesitate to use Off the Map travel for our next adventure.

The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!

My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.
