Norway is one of the three Scandinavian countries and is listed as #1 on the World Happiness Report. With beautiful scenery, history, and culture it is easy to see why there are several UNESCO World Heritage spots located in Norway. Ranked as one of the best places to live and visit, the country boasts one of the highest levels of education, average income, land ife expectancy, along with one of the lowest crime levels. The country has a long history dating back to well before Christ and may be best known for the Vikings. Visitors can still see the influences throughout the country such as at the Oslo Viking Ship Museum. The architecture also is quaint and charming in many of the buildings and homes. The country started out with farming and fishing and has blossomed into literature, arts, and music haven. Although Oslo is the capital city, Norway has several cruise ship ports including Bergen, Stavanger, Alesund, Flaam, Olden, and Geiranger. Some of the numerous cruise lines that make stops in Norway include Fred Olsen, Cruise and Maritime, Saga, AIDA, P&O, Celebrity, Phoenix Reisen, Royal Caribbean, MSC, TUI, Holland America, Pullmantur, NCL, Silversea, Costa, Cunard, Princess, Windstar, Oceania, and Disney. The country has expansive forests, lots of flora, and fauna including polar bears, brown bears, elk, Arctic foxes, sperm whales, and even a cold-water coral reef off the shoreline although there are not many water activities due to the water temperature.

Enhance your voyage with our wide range of optional excursions that allow you to delve deeper into the dramatic landscapes, rich history, and charming culture of Norway and Svalbard. We offer more than 130 excursions up and down the coast, each run by local suppliers who are ready to showcase the wonders of their home.

The cooler weather in autumn, winter, and spring turns Norway into a wonderland of snow, best enjoyed by dog sled or on cross-country skis. You could also try your hand at snowmobiling, hopefully with the Northern Lights dancing above.
