Regent Holidays has unveiled its Arctic Winter 2022-2023 brochure, featuring new itineraries in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.
The brochure is the first to be distributed to agents in hard copy since the start of the pandemic and features some new branding, as the operator said it tries to get “back to normal post-Covid”.
New to Regent’s programme of short winter breaks in Sweden is a three-night package at Camp Ripan, the country’s northernmost town.
