Introducing SilverOpus

A New Chapter Begins

Just over a decade ago, I set out to build Discover Scandinavia Tours with a vision: to share the wonders and beauty of the Nordics with those who love to travel and explore. Why Scandinavia? All it took was one visit in 2011, and I was entirely captivated. Hooked, as they say.

Day by day, I built a team, and together we sent thousands of travelers to every corner of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Along the way, I learned a lot from our partners, my team, industry friends, and, most importantly, from our travelers. Then came the pandemic, bringing the world to an abrupt halt. But we endured, rebuilt our team, and continued sharing that Scandinavian joy with adventurers from across the USA and beyond.

Yet, there was a recurring challenge we couldn’t ignore: our travelers, thrilled by their experiences with us, returned home eager for more. They wanted that same seamless adventure in other parts of the world. Because we were deeply committed to the Nordics, we reluctantly turned down those requests. It became clear that a new chapter was calling.

And so, we got to work—forming new partnerships, hiring new experts, expanding our horizons. We started building once more.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce that in early 2025, Discover Scandinavia Tours will transform into SilverOpus. Alongside our world-class Scandinavian portfolio, we’ll introduce adventures to other exceptional destinations, including Brazil, Switzerland, and the UK.

At SilverOpus, we’re focused on creating the best small-group tours for curious, adventurous travelers age 50 and over. This is our “tribe”—the travelers we’ve come to know so well over the past decade. In essence, we’ll continue doing what we do best, but now with a broader reach: offering unique, honest, thoughtfully crafted travel experiences to seasoned, sophisticated travelers. We’re here to handle every detail, to maximize the returns on your travel investment, and to enable connections among like-minded explorers—in Scandinavia and beyond.

This commitment is at the heart of SilverOpus. It’s our foundation. Our tagline is both an invitation and a celebration of life’s wisest stage: “Life starts at 50. Travel!”

We can’t wait to begin this new chapter with you!

Warmly,
Marcelo
