12 Reasons for 12 Years of Arctic Signature
Arctic Signature turns 12 on July 1 2026. To mark the occasion, we've put together a calendar of 12 destinations, one for each month, each chosen for the season it belongs to.
Twelve years ago I, Ari Siivikko, founded Arctic Signature with one goal: to build the leading luxury and ultra-luxury DMC in the Nordic region. We got there. Here's to what comes next.
To celebrate, we've created a calendar of iconic Arctic and Nordic experiences.
Reach out if any of these are the right fit for your clients.
1. January: Chasing the Auroras in Swedish Lapland
Stay at the iconic Treehotel, set deep in the Swedish forests. Watch the northern lights move across the sky and explore the full range of Arctic winter activities.
2. February: G-Class AMG Arctic Expedition
Drive a Mercedes-Benz G-Class through frozen forests and snow-covered wilderness in the heart of the Arctic winter. Private chalet with a dedicated host and chef, snowmobile safari, reindeer encounters, and more.
3. March: Wild Svalbard Adventure
The High Arctic at its most raw! Stay in a completely remote boutique hotel and enjoy activities such as snowmobiles, ice-covered fjords, polar landscapes, and horizons that go on forever.
4. April: Ultra-Luxury Winter Escape to Iceland
Glaciers, volcanoes, heli-skiing, luxury lodges, and private villas. See Iceland's most dramatic side with private activities, before winter gives way to spring.
5. May: Welcoming Spring in the Faroe Islands
Dramatic cliffs, green valleys, and North Atlantic scenery at its finest, all as nature comes back to life. A natural addition to any multi-destination itinerary, and a place few get to see.
6. June: Private Yacht in the Norwegian Fjords
The Norwegian fjords from the water, at your own pace. Private yacht, private hikes, freshly foraged seafood, Viking experiences on demand – we can build an itinerary around your clients interests.
7. July: Arctic Glamping in Greenland
Disconnect from everything. Reconnect with one of the last truly wild places on earth, at one of Greenland's most exclusive wilderness camps. Icefjords, glaciers, and midnight sun for clients who want something genuinely off the map.
8. August: A Grand Baltic Journey
Explore medieval towns, coastal landscapes, and cultural depth across all three Baltic countries. The Baltics are underrated in luxury travel, and that's exactly the point. We know where to stay, who to call, and how to turn three countries into one seamless journey.
9. September: Autumn Colors and Auroras in Lofoten
Lofoten in September belongs to a different category entirely. No snow yet, but the light has turned: golden days, RIB safaris in search of sea eagles off the outer islands, and the first auroras after dark. On land, some of the region's best restaurants take local ingredients as seriously as anywhere in Scandinavia. We can also arrange private dinners for something more personal.
10. October: Culture and Culinary Highlights in Copenhagen
One of Europe's most compelling food and design cities, and one that rewards a knowledgeable guide. We build Copenhagen visits around what each client actually cares about.
11. November: Whales in Arctic Norway — Tromsø or Alta
Arctic Norway in November, Tromsø or Alta, offers everything Finnish Lapland does, and then some. Snow-covered Arctic plains, boutique hotels and private lodges, dog sledding, and private whale safaris in fjords few ever see this way.
12. December: Christmas in Finnish Lapland
Snow-covered forests, reindeer, open fires, and a VIP meeting with Santa Claus. We can also arrange for a surprise elf to deliver a personal invitation to Lapland directly to your client's home.
