Abercrombie & Kent Strengthens Nordic Presence with Borealis DMC Acquisition

Global luxury travel group Abercrombie & Kent has acquired Copenhagen-based Borealis DMC ApS, expanding its position as the world’s largest network of luxury destination management companies and establishing its foothold across the Nordic region.

Borealis DMC operates throughout Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, offering access to the region’s most sought-after experiences – from Northern Lights viewing to midnight sun adventures – while embracing a Nordic approach where luxury meets authenticity.

We acted as lead counsel for Abercrombie & Kent in the transaction. The deal carried strong Finnish connections through one of Borealis’ co-owners and businesses that stretch all over the Scandinavian and Nordic regions. Our role included full-scope legal due diligence, active participation in deal negotiations, general advisory related to legal and tax related questions, and reflecting these elements in the transaction documentation.

The acquisition forms part of Abercrombie & Kent’s global expansion, adding to recent investments in Mexico, Indonesia, Africa and South America, and further strengthening its reputation for combining cultural authenticity with high-end travel experiences.

Camille Drevillon, Chief Strategy Officer at Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group, commented: “Antti and his team were knowledgeable, proactive, and efficient, acting as an extension of the A&K team throughout this transaction. Their expertise and commitment were instrumental in bringing this acquisition to a successful close.“

The transaction was led by Partner Antti Husa supported by the team consisting of Counsel Elias Smouni, Senior Associate Lavinia Husa as well as Associates Sanni Tirkkonen and Josefina Lind.
