Tour Itinerary

When you arrive at Oslo’s Gardermoen Airport, make your way into the city centre. You could take the express train to Oslo Central Station, or we can arrange a private transfer just for you (at an additional cost).

If you’re arriving early in the day, you can explore Oslo on foot. Spend the rest of your day taking in the sights such as the Royal Palace, Akershus Fortress, Oslo City Hall, Oslo Opera House and the Aker Brygge area. You could also take a stroll along Karl Johans Street or at the beautiful Vigeland Sculpture Park.

Spend the night in Oslo.

Get an early start and head to Oslo Central Station, where you’ll begin the Norway in a Nutshell® railway journey to Bergen, with an overnight stop in Flåm. For this, we recommend booking the luggage transfer between Oslo and Bergen so you can travel freely.

Then you’re off on a scenic train ride that will take you over Norway’s “mountainous rooftops”, through charming villages like Gol and Geilo. In Myrdal, you’ll switch trains to hop on the famous Flåm Railway (“Flåmsbana”) for an incredible ride to the beautiful village of Flåm. Enjoy the rest of the day in Flåm.

Spend the night in Flåm.

Today you finish the Norway in a Nutshell® journey by travelling from Flåm to Bergen. First, you’ll sail through Aurlandsfjord into the World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord, the narrowest fjord in all of Europe. This is perhaps the most beautiful arm of Sognefjord, with its mighty waterfalls and small farms clinging to the steep mountainsides. This is especially charming in the winter months.

Then, your boat will dock in Gudvangen, from where the journey continues by bus through Nærøydalen, with its quaint villages and scenic winter landscape. The bus will arrive in Voss, where you’ll embark on the final stretch of your journey on the Bergen Railway.

Spend the night in Bergen.

Bergen, “The Capital of the Fjords”, is an international city with all the charms of a small town. That makes it ideal to explore in a day. You could first head to the historic harbour of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or spend time in a museum of your choosing.

For some outdoor adventures and great views over the city and surrounding snowy hills, take the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen or the cable car up Mount Ulriken.

Spend another night in Bergen.

Today you’re leaving the south of Norway behind to fly into the Arctic Circle. When your flight lands at Tromsø Airport, collect your luggage and make your way to the city centre. We recommend taking the airport bus (“Flybussen”) or a taxi directly to your accommodation. After settling in, you can spend the rest of the day exploring the charming city of Tromsø, also known as the "Capital of Northern Norway". There are many restaurants in the city centre to start your trip with a taste of the Arctic.

In the evening, you’ll leave the city lights behind to join a northern lights* tour. Heading out of town will give you the best chances to spot the magical aurora borealis in the winter sky.

Spend the night in Tromsø.

Take the full day to enjoy the best of Tromsø. After exploring its countryside, you can dive into the cultural highlights of this Norwegian city. We recommend a stroll along Storgata, the main shopping street of the city. Then stop to visit the Polar Museum nearby. Or travel across the water to take in the striking Arctic Cathedral. For views of the city and some more outdoor adventures, take the cable car Fjellheisen up Storsteinen mountain.

In the evening, you’ll enjoy a northern lights cruise. You’ll sail away from the bright lights of Tromsø to hunt for the northern lights at sea. Meanwhile, you’ll be served dinner on board. 

Spend another night in Tromsø.

After an incredible adventure, it's time to bid farewell to Norway and head home. We recommend taking the Flybussen, an express coach to the airport.
