Norway

The natural beauty of Norway is striking. The phenomenal fjords are so majestic that they leave you speechless. Some of the best known fjords are Trollfjord, Geirangerfjord, Sognefjord and Lysefjord – with the dizzying Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock) lookout far above not for the faint of heart. Cruising through the fjords is sure to be a highlight of any stay. Devour more scenery on the legendary Flåm Railway, a 20-kilometre scenic journey between Flåm and Myrdal and the Bergen Railway, which runs between Bergen and Finse. While in Bergen explore Troldhaugen, the home of composer Edvard Grieg, and catch the Ulriken cable car for amazing vistas. In Oslo visit the new Munch Museum and the National Museum of Norway. Explore the spectacular Lofoten Islands, a string of islands with colourful fishing villages in eye-wateringly beautiful scenery and venture north of the Arctic Circle to Tromsø, the land of the Midnight Sun, which is home to the Arctic Cathedral and where you can seek the Northern Lights.
