It is possible to add a Fjords of Norway extension to this tour.
Although these are group tours, we always pay attention to the individual requirements of each client - transfers from the airport to the hotel and vice versa to coincide with individual flight times, luggage handling, assistance at airports, special menus, to mention just a few. Dinner on the day of arrival is always included, as is dinner and buffet breakfast on every day of the tour. Lunch is also included on days spent traveling by coach.
All tours are accompanied by a professional tour escort, speaking English only. Our tour escorts are among the most experienced and competent in Scandinavia, and most have been working for us for several years.
Finally, all tours have guaranteed departures, regardless of the number of bookings. When you book with us, your holiday is secure.
Our hotels are naturally always 4 or 5 stars and centrally located. Our fjord hotels - which are undoubtedly among the very best in Norway - are always situated close to the fjord and with spectacular views. Likewise our coaches, except in Lapland and Russia, are all modern Neoplan Skyliners, to give each passenger the best possible views as well as the highest standards of comfort. Cabins on ferries are always seaside and with private facilities. You travel with us, you travel in style.
