A fierce land of frozen tundra, rare wildlife and exhilarating adventure
From green-edged fjords, to large expanses of frozen wilderness, Norway is the perfect destination for the trip of a life-time. Whether you are keen to go exploring on a snow mobile, or cruise gently through the islands, we can create a luxurious trip especially suited to your interests.
In the winter time, Norway is a land of glittering glaciers, Northern Lights and polar bears. One of the most northerly countries in the world, this Scandinavian region offers the opportunity for thrilling activities such as husky sledding, climbing glaciers and snowmobiling. Exploring the frozen tundra and unique wildlife of the Arctic Ocean makes for lasting memories.
During the summer you can spend more time outdoors exploring beneath the midnight sun. The warm summer months bring with them long days and green landscapes strewn with flowers. Head for the beach, or go hiking in the mountains or walking through the countryside. One of the best ways to explore Norway is along its fjords. Stop off at towns and cities along the way and learn about the region’s fascinating culture and history. The Arctic islands are also beautiful in summer – spend some time visiting picturesque fishing villages and explore the deep-water coral reefs.
Whatever time of year you choose to visit, we can arrange luxury, boutique and character accommodation for you, private tours with expert guides and a variety of activities to make the trip a memorable one.

Norway is deceptively large. It is also endlessly varied. With polar bears in the north, a stylish capital city in the south, and verdant fjords in between, Norway is the perfect destination for a Scandinavian adventure. The beautiful landscapes that so impress visitors also retain a great importance to Norwegians who take great pride in their local customs and traditions.

Bergen is a truly beautiful little city. Surrounded by seven mountains, seven fjords, pine forests and icy waters. Colourful houses form the UNESCO heritage site of Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf with galleries and some of Norway's best restaurants.
Discover moreKirkenes
A tiny frontier town with fascinating culture. It’s as far east as you get in Europe, past Saint Petersburg and Cairo and just 15 kilometres from the Russian border. Norwegian, Russian, Sami and Finnish cultures are present in markets, museums and everyday life.
Discover moreLyngen Alps
Massive white peaks give way to gentle slopes and pretty lakes with the promise of exciting adventures. Lyngseidet, the main town, has a village feel with brightly coloured houses and shops to explore.
Discover moreNorwegian cruises
So many of Norway’s highlights are on its massive expanse of winding coastline; islands, fjords, glaciers, fishing villages and port towns. Not only are Norwegian Cruises an exciting way to take in the scenery, they’re the perfect way to navigate the country.
Discover moreNorwegian Fjords
Sail along Norway's neverending coastline where thousands of ice-age fjords will take your breath away. Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord and Nærøyfjord are the most well known, however, even the smaller lesser known fjords are truly spectacular.
Discover moreNorwegian Lapland
Norwegian Lapland, or Finnmark, is the home of Sami culture. Glide through snowy landscapes on husky-led sledges or kayak along azure rivers on action-packed adventures.
Discover moreOslo
Oslo is Norway's capital and cultural hub. This viking city is steeped in fascinating history, which can be explored on foot. Visit the harbours, museums, galleries, bars and restaurants that make up the eclectic and energetic atmosphere.
Discover moreThe Lofoten Islands
Distinctive scenery, exposed to the open seas and scattered with fishing villages - not only are the Lofton islands characteristically beautiful, there’s also plenty to do. One of Norway’s premier wildlife areas; search for puffins, cormorants, otters and moose.
Discover moreThe Svalbard Islands
Halfway towards the North Pole, a frozen archipelago is waiting to be discovered. Almost half the landmass of the Svalbard Islands is covered by icy glaciers, an intense natural spectacle protected by 7 national parks and 23 nature reserves.
Discover moreTromso
Bustling, yet remote, set on its own island connected to the mainland by bridges - there’s a special magic about the city of Tromso. The last outpost before the arctic and a place rich with history and culture.

When to visit
Your experience will differ depending on the season you decide to visit. In summer, animals and fauna thrive during the long stretch of constant light and it’s the best time for exploring fjords and glaciers, kayaking and trekking. The polar winter night means that the Northern Lights are bright and the freezing conditions are great for snowmobiling, skiing, husky sledding and visiting ice caves.
