Experience a wild adventure through fjords, forests and fascinating cities
Head out on an epic family adventure as you cruise along winding fjords, race across frozen landscapes behind huskies, explore historic cities and marvel at the astoundingly beautiful scenery of Norway.
A visit to this stunning country will be filled with lasting memories for travellers of all ages, whether you visit when the trees are heavy with snow, or when the gentle hills are bright with wild blossoms. Start your journey in one of the cities and marvel at the changes over the centuries – from the days of Vikings to the busy global centres they are today.
Oslo is home to a variety of museums and the beautiful Vigeland Sculpture Park where you’ll be able to spend time enjoying the pleasant summer weather together.

As you head out into the countryside and fjords, you’ll have the chance to learn about Sami history and culture that has shaped the Norway you see today.
