Think of the narrowest possible stretch of water in the most stunning, most dramatic and most peaceful of landscapes and you have a Norwegian fjord. They have a very serious 'wow' factor and to see them literally takes your breath away. 

A ship is a comfortable and practical way of exploring this striking and intricate coastline - the Hurtigruten Norwegian coastal voyages being known the world over as a holiday 'must'. Our popular Great Nordic Odyssey holiday operates during the months of January to April, maximising the chance to experience the northern lights, another of Mother Nature's greatest works. 

A summer self-drive holiday is both relaxing and refreshing - travelling at your own pace, allowing plenty of time to be 'wowed' by view after view - for example choose the 7-night Norwegian Fjord Highlights or the 12-night Norwegian Fjord Odyssey from the historic city of Bergen.  

About Norway

Norway is characterised by its striking fjords - unimaginably deep water trenches where the highest mountains and cliffs literally rise right out of the sea. It stretches from the Skagerrak, the channel which separates Norway from Denmark in the south, past the Arctic Circle all the way northwards to the Barrents Sea and the Russian Border.

But Norway isn't just about the fjords. Impressive glaciers, dense forests, sprawling plains, glorious river valleys and a sprinkling of picture-perfect towns and villages all add to the mix. 

There is a wonderfully exhilarating feeling of space wherever you go in Norway. This vast and beautiful country has a population of just 4.8 million, which is around 12 people per square kilometre compared with the UK's 246! Around ten percent of the population live in the capital Oslo, meaning that outside of this and other major towns and cities, when exploring the countryside you can often feel like you are the only people there.
