Steff Sargeant
Steff been passionate about Scandinavia and the Nordic regions since she first visited Norway’s Lofoten Islands in 2012. Since then, her travels have taken her right across the region, from the buzzing cities of Stockholm and Copenhagen to Norway’s picturesque fjords and Lapland’s Arctic wilderness. She’s also been lucky enough to experience nights in some of Scandinavia’s most iconic accommodation – not least Sweden’s Treehotel and the Snowhotel in remote Kirkenes. What’s more, with several years’ experience escorting Santa trips to Harriniva in northern Finland, she knows more than a thing or two about the joys of a festive Lapland holiday. Her top recommendation? Combine a cruise on Norway’s Geirangerfjord with a self-drive along the spectacular Eagle’s Road.
