'An unmissable experience with a brilliant guide and packed with many highlights.'
Karen, 60 years, Rockhampton, QLD
'Thoroughly enjoyed our Scandinavian experience with Encounter. Everything was taken care of and out tour guide Tina went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience.'
Wendy, 64 years, NSW
'I have just returned from Encounter's stunning 2023 Scandinavia Tour. This tour had it all, a total insight into what Scandinavia is all about from nature, animals, scenery, people, food, culture, experiences, and the list goes on. Encounter had expert guides to give us the best information on Scandinavia. We travelled by bus, train, air, ferry - all of which gave us the true feeling of travelling in Scandinavia. Travelling with like minded solo travellers in a similar age group who were all there to enjoy their travel experience enriched the tour. I have made friends that I know I will travel with again and keep in touch with. The team at Encounter Travel are so knowledgeable and helpful and ensure that you are set and everything is in place for you to have an amazing travel experience. If you are considering travelling solo but want to know you won't be alone I can highly recommend travelling with Encounter Travel. You won't be disappointed.'

There is so much to say about Virgin Voyages and what is special. There’s a twist to this one – a great twist too. Cruise fans should pay attention – especially if you’re loyal to another cruise company.
