-- The specialists at the Baltic Travel Company celebrated World Environment Day by highlighting its growing range of eco-conscious packages, designed for travellers looking for low-impact travel across Northern and Eastern Europe.
With decades of expertise curating itineraries throughout Scandinavia, the Nordics and the Balkan region, the company has responded to demand for responsible tourism and slower travel, developing rail journeys and selected cruise routes that offer a lower carbon footprint.
The Rising Interest in Environmentally Responsible Travel
Ecotourism is one of the fastest-growing subsectors in the travel industry, with a report last year that found that:
- The market is forecast to reach a global value of over £370 billion in the next three years, an increase of 56% from 2025.
- 84% of travellers say sustainability is important, and 57% plan to reduce their energy consumption on upcoming holidays.
- 62% of regular travellers intend to stay in sustainable accommodation, and 66% value authentic travel experiences which feature local cultures and communities.
Awareness of climate change is undoubtedly a major influence. In many cases, guests opt for short-haul over long-haul flights or seek rail and cruise journeys to reduce their carbon footprints.
In response, the Baltic Travel Company has pointed to some of the many eco-friendly packages within its travel portfolio, many of which are designed to support delicate ecosystems and fragile economies, rather than directing visitors to overpopulated tourist resorts.
Some of the schedules that form part of the World Environment Day campaign include cruise itineraries that take guests around the natural beauty of destinations in Finland and Norway, or that provide shorter flight times with sustainable transfers by boat, train, or even snowmobile!
Rail and Cruise Packages as Alternatives to Long-Haul Flights
Train travel has become a focal point for many eco-conscious guests. It is widely seen as one of the most sustainable ways to explore Europe. The Finland in a Nutshell package is an excellent example, as a trip that transports guests on a scenic trail journey from Helsinki to Lapland year-round.
The self-guided itinerary takes away the pressure to follow a pre-set schedule. Guests can experience Finland's lakes, forests and Arctic wilderness at their own pace, travelling on modern and hyper-efficient trains throughout.
Each package combines comfort with sustainability, enabling travellers to sit back and soak in the changing scenery without the environmental impact of multiple flights.
Alongside rail travel, the Baltic Travel Company provides Nordic cruise experiences, which also incorporate numerous destinations. Examples include cruises through the Norwegian fjords, seeing dramatic landscapes while reducing air travel and stopping at coastal villages and natural landmarks along the way.
Inclusions Within Eco-Friendly Holiday Packages
While each package is different, and many are customisable, some of the key features of sustainable travel tours from the Baltic Travel Company include:
- Rail-based transfers and trips that minimise domestic flights
- Pre-planned routes that reduce travel emissions
- Opportunities to experience local cultures, cuisines and heritage
- Accommodation in centrally located hotels to reduce additional transport
- Flexible and self-guided options that encourage slow, mindful travel
Speaking on behalf of the Baltic Travel Company, Managing Director, Birthe Nielsen said, ‘World Environment Day serves as an important reminder for us all that the way we travel matters, and even a few simple changes can make a huge difference when we all make a collective effort!
We’re seeing far more guests who are proactively looking for holidays that align with their values, which often means reducing their environmental impact. It’s a pleasure to offer amazing travel experiences that we’ve designed with sustainability in mind, and we’re always happy to point out specific trips that we think will match each guest's priorities.’
As travellers increasingly seek more responsible tourism opportunities, the Baltic Travel Company intends to continue expanding its offerings to meet those expectations, demonstrating how memorable holiday experiences and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.
