Kick off your trip with a visit to the Little Mermaid state, the Gefion Fountain and the Royal Palace. Let the photo ops begin...

Get to know Oslo

Take an orientation around the friendly Norwegian capital. Soak up the Viking and maritime legacy, see city highlights and discover where to get the best seafood.

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 us busy by day.  While taking a stroll through the city should keep you busy by night.

    Breakfast

Oslo, it’s been amazing. But there's one more thing to tick off before we leave. You can choose to sail the Oslo Fjord, taking in the breathtaking views along the way. Then, we'll head to the traditional city of Elverum with a stop at the world's largest single artist sculpture park on the way.

Hey hey, Lillehammer! Upon arrival we can check out the ski jump, take a stroll through the city and then find a spot for dinner. 

With plenty of churches and lakes, things are bound to feel authentically Scandinavian here in Elverum, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Gaze at Frogner Park sculptures

Get your sculpture culture on! It’s hard to believe that one artist created all of these masterpieces.

Rise and shine! More adventures await us today. We're crossing the border from Norway to Sweden, so keep an eye out for the famous Vasaloppet start line.

Once we reach Torgås, you can join a hike during the day (with snowshoes if there’s snow). We’ll also be joined by some huskies… so be prepared for a cuteness overload.

For dinner tonight, we’ll tuck into a traditional Norwegian speciality – reindeer stew served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry. It’s enough to warm the cockles of your heart.

FAQs

  • A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.

  • Scandinavia can be extremely cold during the winter (we’re talking 0°C or 32°F). Heads up! On rare occasions your Trip Manager might be forced to alter the itinerary due to adverse weather conditions.

  • Pack warm! We suggest bringing a warm waterproof jacket, gloves, thermals, hat, and sunglasses. Plus, a good pair of sturdy shoes for walking across snow or ice.

  • Scandinavian weather can be extremely varied. In the shoulder season (May and October) you can expect single-digit temperature and warm sunny days. From June until September, temperatures can reach well above 30° C (86° F).

  • It’s always a good idea to bring a warm windproof jacket cuz it can get quite cool at night especially outside of the cities.

  • Hopefully! The Northern Lights (AKA the Aurora Borealis) are a natural display of coloured lights in the night sky of the northern hemisphere. They’re a natural phenomenon, so it can never be guaranteed. But you’ll have a higher chance of seeing them the further up north you go & if the sky’s clear. (Fingers crossed...)

  • The currencies of the countries we visit on this trip are the Danish Krone (DKK), the Norwegian Krone (NOK), and the Swedish Krone (SEK). Need cash? ATMs are readily available, and most places accept credit/debit cards.
