Voigt Travel specializes in providing unique travel experiences primarily focused on northern destinations, including Lapland, Iceland, Norway, and Greenland. Their core offerings include carefully curated travel packages catering to both winter and summer adventures, ensuring customers experience less commercialized, unexplored regions instead of typical tourist hotspots. Their services encompass various travel formats, such as fully organized trips, fly-and-drive options, and campervan rentals, allowing travelers to tailor their journeys according to personal preferences.

The company targets a diverse clientele, including families, adventure seekers, and nature enthusiasts, primarily serving markets in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, among others. Voigt Travel emphasizes hassle-free travel planning by providing comprehensive arrangements like lodging, excursion guidance, and local insights, ensuring that customers can immerse themselves in the natural beauty and cultural richness of the destinations. Voigt Travel generates revenue through the sale of travel packages that encompass accommodations, transportation, and excursions within their specified destinations. The company's transaction structure primarily operates on a direct-to-consumer basis, whereby clients book their trips online or through consultations with travel advisors.

Each travel package is designed to meet varying customer needs, with different pricing tiers depending on the complexity and duration of the trips, including options for both offseason and peak season travel. Their flagship offerings include specialized experiences like Winterwonderland® tours and unique adventures in the Lofoten Islands, which attract a mix of singles, couples, and groups. Clients engage in transactions that encompass full-service travel bookings, which typically include a range of services from airport transfers to guided tours, ensuring a seamless travel experience. For the year 2023, Voigt Travel reported an EBITDA of EUR 3,411,981.

Voigt Travel aims to enhance its product offerings by designing new travel packages focused on emerging northern destinations, with anticipated launches in 2024. The company plans to expand its reach into new markets, specifically targeting customers in France and the UK by mid-2025. Funding from the minority investment received in December 2018 will be utilized to support these initiatives, allowing the company to develop additional unique experiences and marketing strategies to engage these new customer segments.
