Norway Holidays


europe
Norway holidays offer a breathtaking blend of dramatic, awe inspiring coastlines, towering mountain peaks and charismatic, history filled towns.

The glassy surface of unfathomably deep fjords, sheer ice age cliff faces and thundering waterfalls, Norway’s natural wonders are a sight to behold. Modern innovation meets tradition in the cities of Oslo and Bergen; learn about the Viking legacy, dine on delicious local seafood and see the abstract architecture of the Oslo Opera House.

Head further north on a cruise with Princess Cruises or Hurtigruten to soak up Norway's sights from the waterways, join a hiking adventure of a lifetime through the rugged terrain surrounding the Norwegian Fjords, or travel into the Arctic Circle to Tromso to try your hand at a wealth of winter activities, from Northern Lights hunts to reindeer sledding.

Trailfinders offers a range of Norway holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore Norway's ice covered tundra on a dog sledding adventure in Tromso, or board a relaxing cruise to experience the magnificent views from a relaxing lounge – they are the perfect people to ask.
