SILVEROPUS MEANS GOLD FOR DISCERNING TRAVELERS

Marcelo Guimaraes knows exactly what he wants with his new travel service, SilverOpus.

He wants perfection.

“We won’t settle for anything else with all of our clients,” Marcelo said.

The recently launched SilverOpus represents the logical progression of Marcelo’s ten-year-old firm, Discover Scandinavia Tours, which focuses on extraordinary travel experiences in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.

“Our clients would return from one of our tours and ask us to offer the same type of experiences in other parts of the world,” Marcelo said.

Marcelo is meeting this demand with SilverOpus, aimed at sophisticated, seasoned travelers ages 50 and up. Beginning in mid-2025, SilverOpus will add travel experiences to Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Marcelo’s home country of Brazil to the existing portfolio of Discover Scandinavia Tours. Other destinations will be introduced later in the year. 

At the core of SilverOpus tours is what Marcelo and his team call “tribal travel,” a solid understanding of what mature, well-traveled clients appreciate and want in their travel experience. All SilverOpus escorted tours are restricted to a maximum of 14 travelers to nurture meaningful camaraderie.

A perfect example of what to expect from SilverOpus is the popular “Mingle with Scandinavians,” which uniquely showcases Sweden, Denmark and Norway with professional tour leaders who are masters at both sharing their passion and knowledge for the destination and at ascertaining that each client is comfortable, happy and safe. Expert local tour guides who love to share the culture, history and food of their favorite towns further enhance the experience.

Travelers participating in the 15-day “Mingle with Scandinavians” will immerse themselves in an unforgettable adventure as they explore the breathtaking views of Sweden, Denmark and Norway via scenic trains, sense the magnificence of Norwegian fjords from the perspective of a heart-pumping fast-boat ride, behold the mighty North Sea from a cozy cabin on the Fjordline Ferry, enjoy authentic, traditionally prepared Nordic cuisine and feel like a guest of honor at four- and five-star hotels selected for ambiance, comfort, location and service. 

Like all SilverOpus tours, “Mingle with Scandinavians” offers a balanced itinerary that covers famous destinations such as Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo and Bergen with gems like Aarhus and Balestrand, as well as the opportunity to interact with the locals in these amazing places to fully immerse travelers in the lives of locals. There is also plenty of free time to roam and find wonderful new memories of your very own. Excursion variations allow travelers to participate as actively as they wish.

State-of-the-art private transport dovetail the extraordinary train and boat experiences, ensuring SilverOpus clients always travel in style, with no more than 13 other fellow adventurers as companions. As for luggage and airport transfers, not to worry, it will be taken care of for you. 24/7 absolute support before, during and after your travels means no questions go unanswered, no requests are ignored. 

Travelers who prefer to explore exclusively with familiar co-travelers without any hassle can also choose private tours from SilverOpus.

“We design the itinerary to take care of everything for them,” Marcelo said. 

For the curious traveler, for those unafraid to explore in style, SilverOpus offers the perfect experiences. Marcelo and his team make sure of it.
