Regent Holidays has released its Arctic Collection 2026/7 brochure, giving travel agents a detailed look at winter product across Northern Europe. The new edition, available this week, introduces several fresh elements: a standalone Faroe Islands programme, new direct flights to Finnish Lapland via Air Baltic, and the inclusion of Iceland's Laugarás Lagoon, which opened in 2025.
The Faroe Islands, a Danish archipelago that has been gaining traction among adventurous travellers, now gets its own dedicated section in the brochure for the first time. Regent is offering two packages: the Torshavn Winter Short Break and the Faroe Islands Winter Fly-Drive, priced from £1,495 and £1,350 per person, respectively. Both include flights, accommodation, and a mix of guided excursions and independent exploration, giving agents a flexible option for clients who want a structured yet self-directed winter break.
Lapland gets a lift from Air Baltic
In Finnish Lapland, the eight-day Winter Adventure Week at Iisakki Glass Village benefits from new direct flights operated by Air Baltic, starting 13 December 2026. Priced from £3,145 per person, the itinerary includes snowmobile safaris, reindeer sledging, and other classic Arctic activities. The addition of these flights is a significant convenience for UK travellers, cutting travel time and opening up more weekend-friendly departures.
For those seeking a shorter escape, the Vaattunki Wilderness Resort offers a four-day break from £1,685 per adult, featuring husky dog sledging and reindeer sleigh rides. Both Lapland options are designed to appeal to a range of clients, from families to couples looking for a winter wonderland experience.
Iceland's new geothermal addition
Iceland remains a cornerstone of the Arctic Collection, and this year's brochure adds Laugarás Lagoon, a geothermal spa that opened in 2025. It is featured in the five-day Iceland Geothermal Spas Winter Break, priced from £1,535 per person. The itinerary combines visits to the new lagoon with other geothermal sites, offering a relaxing counterpoint to the more active adventures elsewhere in the collection.
Daniele Boni, Product Manager at Regent, said: "Every year I am so excited to launch our Arctic Collection brochure as it really showcases the cream of our winter product." Boni's enthusiasm reflects the operator's commitment to refining its winter portfolio, which now spans Iceland, Lapland, and the Faroe Islands.
The brochure is available online, and agents can access additional resources through Regent's online toolkit, including images, itineraries, and booking links. This digital support is part of a broader trend among tour operators to equip agents with the tools they need to sell complex winter product efficiently.
For travel professionals, the Arctic Collection 2026/7 represents a timely opportunity to capitalise on growing demand for winter travel to Northern Europe. With new air links, fresh properties, and a more structured Faroe Islands offering, Regent is positioning itself to meet the needs of both first-time and repeat Arctic travellers.
The launch also comes as the wider industry sees increased interest in luxury rail-cruise combinations and other premium winter experiences. While Regent's focus is on the Arctic, the broader trend toward experiential travel is evident across the sector, with operators like Wendy Wu Tours expanding into new regions.
Agents looking to diversify their winter sales should note the competitive pricing and the inclusion of flights in all packages, which simplifies quoting and reduces the risk of hidden costs. The Faroe Islands, in particular, offer a less-crowded alternative to Iceland, with dramatic landscapes and a growing tourism infrastructure.
As the travel trade continues to recover and evolve, product like this Arctic Collection demonstrates how specialist operators are adding value through curated itineraries and strategic partnerships.
