Midnight Sun & Summer Holidays: Independent Journeys, Group Tours, Cruises, Treks, Cycling & Expeditions

The Nordic & Arctic regions, Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, Russia, the Baltic's, Faroe Islands, Mongolia & Kamchatka

Draw a line along the 50th parallel north and look at everything above – that is 50 Degrees North's specialist region.

50 Degrees North has developed an exceptional concept specialising in this unique, beautiful and sometimes extremely remote area of the world.

It is an area of distinct seasons where light plays a more significant part of life than anywhere else. It is a region where they have a public holiday on the day the sun re-emerges back over the horizon after a long winter; it is where the northern light will throw waves of purple and green light across the sky in an incredible spectacle; and it is where you can enjoy 24 hour sunlight.

The 50th parallel travels through the northern part of mainland Europe, Russia, Mongolia, Kamchatka and Canada. 50 Degrees North is where mainland Europe ends and Northern Europe starts; it is where the Central Asian deserts meet the deep forests of the Siberian taiga and where Canada freezes over.

From Longyearbyen to Å, and Helsinki to Ulaanbaatar & Nuuk, 50 Degrees North is about inspiration, unparalleled experiences and personal achievements undertaken beyond the 50th parallel north.
Tours and expeditions are high on quality, not for luxury standards, but for the unique and groundbreaking focus.

50 Degrees North is a specialist travel company that aims to give you more than just a holiday, focussing on the most enriching style of travel. Not necessarily cheap, but rewarding, full of real-life experiences and with incredible value for money.

50 Degrees North's knowledge and expertise will allow you to get deep under the skin of the northern region, and take home with you learning and understanding that others will miss. You will journey off the main tourist track and out in those lesser known or accessible areas of the high north.
