HELSINKI, FINLAND – Next Travel Finland (established in 1990) has officially acquired full ownership of BDPNext Sweden and Norway, completing a transition that strengthens its strong presence in the Nordic travel market. Following the acquisition, the offices in Finland, Sweden and Norway will now operate under the new brand name Next Travel Nordic.
The strategic acquisition reinforces Next Travel Nordic’s commitment to delivering high-quality, tailored travel and business experiences as well as cruise operations throughout Northern Europe. Next Travel Nordic is now positioned as one of the few DMCs with a strong and unified operational presence across Finland, Sweden and Norway.
“This acquisition is a natural step forward for us. This move marks a new chapter for our business, combining regional expertise with a unified identity and renewed focus on delivering tailored travel experiences across Sweden, Norway and Finland,” says Ken Nyström, CEO at Next Travel Nordic. “It gives us full control over our direction and allows us to strengthen our core business while staying true to what we have always stood for: reliability, creativity and exceptional local knowledge,” Nyström emphasizes.
“From the cruise division side, there are no operational or staffing changes, as we have always represented all three countries -Finland, Sweden, and Norway- yet now having one unified name across all three countries reinforces the strength of our brand, which has been built over many years and is already highly respected within the cruise industry,” mentions Virve Kataja, Director of Sales and Cruise Operations at Next Travel Nordic. “Our focus remains delivering outstanding service to our existing clients. In addition, we are actively expanding our network of ports and destinations; the future is promising!” explains Kataja.
Next Travel Nordic will continue to operate with local offices in Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo, with teams ensuring local expertise and service with cultural insight and logistical excellence in each destination.
