Planning a trip to Norway

Norway is an vast country with a population of under 5.5 million. That’s around 12 people per square kilometre. With so much space, it is a country suited to outdoor adventures. You can often feel like you have the countryside all to yourself. With a rich Viking history, Norway blends tradition and modernity.

Its appeal is year round but there are seasonal differences. In winter, head north and discover snow covered mountains and majestic fjords. Gaze at the aurora from the deck of a ship as you cruise the spectacular coastline. Stay in a stylish fjord-side resort in a prime location for seeing the northern lights. Fill your days with exhilarating winter activities. Slip on snowshoes, hop on a snowmobile or mush a team of huskies.

Norway is also breathtaking during summer. Days are long, with the perpetual light of the midnight sun in the far north from mid-May to late July. Take time to explore the country’s natural beauty. This is the perfect time for self-drives, hiking adventures and rail journeys.

The route from Bergen in the south fjords to the North Cape in Finnmark remains a trading route. Yet, such is the magnificence of the scenery, the coastal express is also an iconic, year round visitor experience. You can experience the midnight sun in summer or watch for the northern lights in winter

Featuring 34 ports of call, ships range from more traditional to new hybrid vessels of Havila.
