Scandinavia and Baltics tour packages typically combine Stockholm or Helsinki with Tallinn, often connected by ferry across the Baltic Sea, with private packages starting from around AED 5,499 per person for 7 to 8 nights. Since Sweden, Finland, and Estonia are all part of the Schengen Area, UAE residents on non-exempt passports need a single Schengen visa covering the entire route.
This route pairs Scandinavia’s clean, modern cities with the Baltic states’ medieval old towns, connected by short flights or scenic overnight ferries. It suits travelers who want a mix of Nordic design and history without needing separate visas for each stop.
What’s Included in a Scandinavia and Baltics Package?
A properly built package covers return flights, hotel stays across each city, ferry or flight transfers between Scandinavia and the Baltics, and daily breakfast. Stronger packages also include an overnight Baltic Sea ferry crossing, a popular and scenic way to travel between Stockholm or Helsinki and Tallinn.

Do UAE Residents Need a Visa for Scandinavia and the Baltics?
Yes, in most cases. Sweden, Finland, and Estonia are all part of the Schengen Area, so UAE residents on passports such as Indian, Pakistani, or Filipino need a Schengen visa before travel. One Schengen visa covers the entire route regardless of how many of these countries are included in the itinerary.
