Norway: Bergen & the Fjords
July 16 – 30
Journey to Scandinavia for an unforgettable 1,250-mile voyage along Norway’s majestic coastline.
From the Finnish capital, Helsinki, head north to unspoiled Lapland. Encounter the Sami people of the village of Ivalo, where you’ll enjoy a home-hosted dinner at a reindeer farm.
In Kirkenes, Norway, on the Russian border, board your first-class passenger ship. Follow the dramatic and constantly changing scenery of the North Cape. Marvel at the contrasts of small fishing villages and large towns, lush fields and barren outcroppings, dense forests and resplendent islands.
Ports of call include lively Hammerfest and the magnificent Lofoten Islands. Continue south across the Arctic Circle to historic Trondheim, 
Norway’s third largest city and first capital. Disembark in bustling Bergen, with time to explore on your own.
Take a ride on the Flaam Railway, a thrilling hour-long excursion through 2,000-foot deep Flaam Valley, enjoying some of Norway’s most magnificent mountain scenery. A marvel of engineering, the train hurtles through 20 tunnels that spiral in and out of mountains, passing the mighty Kjosfossen Waterfall along the way.
Your journey ends in Oslo, capital of Norway. Highlights here include the Viking Ship Museum and the Vigeland sculptures at Frogner Park. Oslo offers a wealth of cultural riches along with its abundant natural beauty.
