What our guests say

Traveller Stories
Juan Pablo & Julio — Northern Lights Arctic Adventure
"We've travelled widely, but Pau designed something we couldn't have imagined ourselves. The aurora igloo, the Hurtigruten crossing, the silence of the Arctic at 2am — it completely rewired us. Every detail was handled, nothing left to chance. We arrived as travellers and came back as different people. Already planning the next one with Pau."

Cancellations over 91 days before departure: deposit forfeited only. 60–90 days: 50% charge. 30–59 days: 75%. Fewer than 30 days: no refund. If Alpina cancels due to force majeure, you receive a full refund within 14 days. Full details at cancellation policy.
Yes — we strongly recommend a policy covering trip cancellation, medical evacuation and baggage, taken out at the time of booking. Alpina Travels is not an insurer and accepts no liability for inadequate cover.
Pau directly — always. No call centres, no intermediaries. The person who designed your trip is the same person who will plan it, personalise it and be reachable throughout your journey. That personal service is the whole point of Alpina.
