Onward Travel is headed back to one of our favorite summer destinations: Norway, where we’ll visit the West Fjords and the capital city, Oslo!
The height of summer is the perfect time to visit Norway. Picturesque cherry, apple, and berry farms line Norway’s dramatic glacier-carved fjords. And the waters have warmed enough for a brisk dip. The tour begins in Bergen, gateway to the fjords, and ends in Oslo. After two nights in Bergen, we’ll travel by ferry to quiet and pretty Balestrand on the Sognefjord, Norway’s deepest and longest fjord. After three-nights there, we’ll cruise the narrow and breathtaking Nærøyfjord, a UNESCO site, to reach the country’s “fruit basket,” Hardanger, a region known as the Champagne of hard cider. After two nights at lovely Hotel Ullensvang, we’re hopping aboard the high speed train to Oslo, a green city perched at the top of the Oslofjord.
Throughout the tour, you’ll be inspired by the scenery that is surely some of the finest in the world, as well as the Norwegian way of life and local cuisine which features seafood, reindeer, fresh picked berries, and real culinary talent. Norwegian Tour Director Thor will expertly guide you through his home country. So many special experiences are planned: go RIB boating, visit a wooden stave church, sip hard cider and fresh juice, lay eyes on Europe’s largest glacier, hike to scenic views, take in spectacular waterfalls, and so much more! There is much to discover, join us!
