Abercrombie & Kent has acquired Borealis DMC, a Copenhagen-based destination management company (DMC) with operations across the Nordic region, expanding the luxury travel company's global network to more than 3,000 staff across 65 offices in 40 countries.
The acquisition brings Borealis DMC's coverage of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden under Abercrombie & Kent's destination management portfolio. Borealis DMC specializes in Nordic wilderness and cultural experiences, including northern lights viewing and midnight sun encounters.
"The Nordic region provides access to experiences that epitomize adventure and luxury in their purest forms," said Rebecca Osman, chief destination officer at Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group. "This acquisition aligns perfectly with our commitment to unlocking impossible possibilities for both our discerning travelers and our trade partners. The Nordic region has become a guest favorite amongst luxury travelers seeking authentic wilderness experiences."
The company maintains connections with Indigenous communities and provides access to remote locations throughout the Nordic region.
"We've partnered with A&K for several years, and this acquisition feels like a natural evolution," said Marcella Infantino, founder of Borealis DMC. "A&K understands what makes the Nordic region special — our relationships with local communities and commitment to authentic wilderness experiences. We're excited to join a global family that's leading the way in luxury travel."
The Nordic acquisition follows recent expansion moves by Abercrombie & Kent, including new destination management company openings in Mexico and Indonesia. The company has also continued investment in its A&K Sanctuary portfolio of luxury camps and riverboats across three continents.
The company plans to implement new initiatives across the Nordic region through Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy, focusing on local conservation efforts and cultural preservation programs.
