ITINERARY
Tour image

Day 1  Copenhagen, Denmark          
Good morning globe-roamers. After a bit of a mingle with the new squad, get into the spirit of your imminent adventures in Copenhagen.      

Day 2  Copenhagen            
Constantly named amongst the most liveable cities in the world, Copenhagen is an artwork of locals on bicycles, Danish pastries in cute café windows, and Renaissance architecture. Being a bustling university town and home to the hippie hood of Freetown Christiania, nightlife and unique culture can be found at every turn.      

Day 3  Copenhagen to Oslo, Norway      
Today we're taking on Norway, to the land of castles, seafood and pretty parks. You'll be surrounded by 200 bronze statues, eating Krumkaker pastries before you can say "jeg elsker Norge!" (that's "I love Norway," folks).

Day 4  Oslo          
Oslo, both the capital and biggest city of Norway, is a riverside metropolis back-dropped by mountains of greenery and filled with easy-going culture. Pottering around museums and pretty buildings will keep you busy by day, while taking a stroll through the city should keep you busy by night.

Day 5  Oslo to Voss            
Though you'll feel like you know Norway inside out by now, you can't really grasp the country until you've witnessed its great open plains & small country towns. Tonight's stop, Voss is the adventure capital of Norway. Chill out with a night of relaxing and getting to know the crew in your lakefront lodge.      

Day 6  Voss              
Today is free for you to explore Voss. Head on a guided hiking tour to soaking up all of that dramatic scenery, or if you're looking for something a bit more fast paced, you could try your hand at white water rafting. Breathless and giddy from the day's adventures, regroup with dinner at one of the local restaurants that offer delicious and traditional Norwegian food.      

Day 7  Voss to Geiranger          
Norwegian countryside and pretty waterfalls will highlight our journey to the 200km long Sognefjord, a sight set to take your breath away. After lunch at Boyabreen, continue your journey to Geiranger Fjord where you'll spend the night surrounded by some of Mother Nature’s finest.

Day 8  Geiranger to Lillehammer      
We've got more spectacular natural beauty to check out today. We'll pass by wild waterfalls, snow-capped peaks and vibrant green foliage, before making a morning tea stop in Lom. After managing to close our jaws again, we'll stop at the alpine ski resort of Lillehammer. Upon arrival we'll have the chance to hop on the Lillehammer Olympic Track bobsleigh, Northern Europe's only artificial frozen bob, before taking a stroll through the city and grabbing a bite to eat.    

Day 9  Lillehammer to Dalarna                
Dalarna County is set to take our breath away. The centrepiece is the shimmering lake, so we'll let you enjoy this for a few hours (canoeing, kicking a ball or maybe just relaxing, depending on your vibe). Want to experience more of the area's natural beauty? You’ll have the chance to take a short hike through the forest with fika and huskies in between. Bask in your surroundings and learn all about Swedish history and folklore from a local guide.    

Day 10  Dalarna to Stockholm, Sweden        
Leaving Dalarna behind and bidding farewell to the orange Dala horse (Sweden's national symbol), we're headed to the capital today. Stockholm, here we come!  

Day 11  Stockholm                
Feeling a bit adventurous this morning? How 'bout an optional kayaking tour? Then you're free to wander the quaint medieval streets of Gamla Stan & try to catch the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace. All that ground covered will earn you some Swedish salmon & an Absolut on the rocks – but don’t forget to save room for your evening meatballs.  

Day 12  Stockholm          
Depart at any time.
