Get set for a marvelous adventure in Norway, one of the world’s most beautiful countries. On this nine-night, small-group journey, enjoy first-class stays in cosmopolitan Oslo, enchanting Bergen and far northern Tromsø above the Arctic Circle. Like a little bit of heaven on earth, Norway’s sublime landscapes of lush fjords and snow-capped mountains will take your breath away. Thrill to spectacular scenery on the famous Flåm and Bergen Railways, and cruise through the pristine, glacier-carved Aurlandsfjord.


You’ll also experience the phenomenon of the midnight sun, northern Norway’s endlessly golden summer sky. Delve into fascinating facets of Norwegian history and culture, including skiing, seafaring, the impressive art of Edvard Munch and the Hanseatic heritage of Bergen’s colorful wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Discover what life above the Arctic Circle is like as you visit a dogsledding kennel, learn about the traditions of the indigenous Sami people and tour a botanical garden. Includes expert guides, enlightening lectures and a generous meal plan.
