Experience the magic of Norway on this unforgettable 10-day land and cruise journey through one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. Designed especially for the Traveling Texans group, this incredible adventure combines vibrant Scandinavian cities, spectacular fjords, unforgettable rail journeys, and the chance to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights.
Your journey begins in Norway’s elegant capital, Oslo, where modern architecture, Viking history, and Nordic culture come together beautifully. Explore the city with a local guide, visit the world-famous Vigeland Sculpture Park, and discover Norway’s rich heritage at the Norsk Folkemuseum.
From Oslo, the adventure becomes truly spectacular as you travel through the heart of Norway on one of the most scenic journeys in the world. Ride the famous Flåm Railway through dramatic mountain landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and snow-covered peaks before cruising through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, surrounded by towering cliffs and charming villages.
Arriving in the beautiful coastal city of Bergen, you’ll discover colourful Bryggen Harbour, historic streets, bustling fish markets, and panoramic mountain views before boarding the Havila coastal cruise ship for your Arctic voyage north.
Over the next six days, you’ll sail along Norway’s legendary coastline, visiting charming ports, crossing the Arctic Circle, and exploring some of the most remote and beautiful regions in Europe. Marvel at dramatic fjords, rugged mountain landscapes, picturesque fishing villages, and the stunning scenery of the Lofoten Islands. Along the way, optional excursions offer opportunities for unforgettable experiences including dog sledding, reindeer encounters, snowmobiling, Viking feasts, Sami cultural experiences, and visits to the iconic North Cape.
As you journey deeper into the Arctic, keep watch for the magical Northern Lights dancing across the night sky — one of nature’s greatest spectacles and a true bucket-list experience.
This remarkable journey concludes in the Arctic frontier town of Kirkenes, near the Russian border, leaving you with lifelong memories, incredible photographs, and unforgettable experiences shared with fellow Traveling Texans
