ABROAD & BEYOND

W​​​​​hen you imagine exploring Northern Europe, what may first come to mind is witnessing the Northern Lights in Iceland, hunting for Scandinavian design treasures in Denmark, or sipping a pint of Guinness in Ireland. Yet the region is also known for a passionate approach to wellness. Case in point: Hygge (hoo-gah)—the Danish philosophy of cozy contentment and simple pleasures—is now a global wellness concept. And Finland is considered the “happiest country in the world”—ranked number-one in the UN World Happiness Report for multiple years, largely due to quality of life, trust, and balance. A similar approach anchors Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Northern European sailings with a profound collection of unique, happiness-inducing experiences. Whether focused on art, food, or nature, discovering the culture of Northern Europe with Regent is always an instant mood boost.
