Oslo Polar expeditions and cruise Trips

Love that this trip takes you through the Artcic circle and to the northernmost point of Europe. It covers a lot of mileage- which is why I chose this itinerary - just means you get to witness even more of the gorgeous scenery (especially in Norway). Also really enjoyed all the ferries and boat rides. My favourite places- Stockholm and the entirety of Norway (especially Geiranger). Favourite optional experiences- swedish summer dinner, Traditional Lapland dinner at a family reindeer farm, wilderness river adventure, and trolls road. Favourite hotel was the one in Geiranger.

This is a once in a lifetime trip! The 4 countries visited are beautiful. The short time scheduled in two countries was enough to make you want to come back for more. The highlight of the adventure was the end in Norway where we spent a glorious week making our way from the Arctic Circle. The weather throughout was unusually sunny and warm. The guidance given throughout by our tour director, was fantastic! There was history of the area, interesting stories, explanations of the next days events and humour in all his presentations. The local guides were also well versed and interesting. Our bus driver, was a valuable member keeping us safe and on time and very pleasant. His ability on switchback roads was remarkable. Insight should be proud to have these two gentlemen as part of their team. The entire experience encourages one to return for future excursions.

Itinerary was great. I am not a great lover of museums and churches but all the events involving the local people were superb and enjoyed them all. I realize that when you have a group of 26, like in our case, you have to include events that interest a variety of people. Overall a GREAT trip and a first class tour guide. The scenery was outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!

Although you have some long days in the bus, you are never bored. They have frequent stops and the scenery is the best you will find anywhere, The Tour Director is so knowledgeable and and passes on this information to enhance the journey. The bus driver was second to none and knows the roads and how to drive them.

Grand Scandinavia Tour gave us all an insight to the four countries we visited and an idea of what life was like for those living there. We had local guides in each of the capital cities for an orientation tour. I liked the way we saw many natural sights along the way and visited interesting places, sites or lookouts, which broke up the distances travelled. We also had an interesting choice of optional tours or activities and I found these enjoyable and enlightening.

Excellent tour of Scandinavia. Loved Copenhagen, Stockholm, crossing the Arctic Circle, and Nordkapp. Scenery in Norway is fantastic with snow covered mountains fjords and so many waterfalls. Great group on the coach and the TD and Driver were a fun team. Would have liked an extra day at Geiranger to relax.
