Magic of the Fjords & Stockholm - 9 days

Welcome to Bergen! On arrival, make your own way to the hotel for check in or contact us to book an arrivalt transfer. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Enjoy!

After breakfast we depart on a sightseeing tour of this beautiful town. The tour takes us to the colourful fish market and for a stroll through the narrow lanes of ancient Bryggen, with the Church of Mary and the Hakon fortress. Bryggen has become a symbol of Norway's cultural heritage and it's easy to see why it has gained a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

There are two optional tours on offer, why not consider joining our Bergen Food Tour & Fish Market tasting, that includes a return ticket on the Floibanen Funicular. Alternatively, we also offer a Fjord Cruise to Mostraumen.

Bergen - Balestrand. This morning we embark on a cruise to Balestrand. On board we make our way through the King of Fjords - Sognefjord. With incredible views, this is a truly beautiful journey.

Upon arrival in to Balestrand the rest of the day is at leisure for you to explore this picturesque area. There are various hiking trails as well as culture and artistic activities in close proximity. Dinner will be enjoyed at the hotel this evening.

Today is free for you to explore the area independently. Why not join us on an optional Half Day Fjaerland Excursion which is available from 01 June to 15 Sept. We recommend that you book this excursion when you book the tour, as we cannot guarantee availability if booked upon arrival in Norway. By boat we can see amazing views of the steep mountains, lush landscape and green fjords. Fjaerland is the village where the fjord meets the glaciers. Here, we also visit the Norwegian Glacier Museum. Enjoy Ivo Caprino's panoramic film about Jostedalen Glacier and the fascinating exhibition. Continue by coach to the impressive glaciers of Supphellebreen and Bøyabreen. The excursion concludes with a scenic boat ride back to Balestrand.

Balestrand - Flam - Oslo. Our journey on the Sognefjord continues today as we make our way to the beautiful village of Flam. After some free time to explore we join the famous Flamsbana - one of the steepest train lines in the world. On our journey we pass awe-inspiring scenery and make our way through fantastic nature, passed the Rallar road, up steep mountains, passed breath-taking waterfalls & go through 20 tunnels until we reach Myrdal, a mountain railway station and junction, located about 13 km from the village Flam.



From Myrdal we join a different train which takes us to the capital of Norway, Oslo. Arriving into Oslo late this evening we make our way straight to the hotel.

This morning we meet our guide and embark on a 3-hour sightseeing tour of this vibrant city. Discover Frogner Park, the Royal Palace, City Hall and the medieval fortress of Akershus.

Spend the rest of the day relaxing or perhaps continue exploring this amazing city independently. We recommend you purchase a 24-hour Oslo pass, which grants access to most of the city’s museums and includes free travel to the Bygdog Peninsula.

Oslo - Stockholm. After breakfast, meet your tour leader at the hotel and enjoy a short walk to the train station for your journey to Sweden’s beautiful capital, Stockholm. You can sit back and relax on board the high-speed train as you travel through scenic countryside and across the border into Sweden.

Upon arrival, make your way to the nearby hotel to check in. The remainder of the day is free to explore at leisure. Wander along Drottninggatan, also known as Queen Street, Stockholm’s bustling shopping district filled with cafés, restaurants, and boutiques, or simply enjoy the charming streets and canals of this vibrant city.

Please note: This tour is semi-independent in style from days 7–9. You will not be escorted by a tour guide in Stockholm.

This morning, you will take a taxi transfer to a nearby boat port and board a Royal Canal Cruise.

During this exciting cruise, you will learn about the city and its long history. Stockholm is filled with grand buildings, palaces and a rich cultural history that dates back 700 years! Often, Stockholm is referred to as 'beauty on water' or 'Venice of the North,' and this cruise will show you why.

The city is built upon 14 islands and is surrounded by the beautiful Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. After the cruise, feel free to explore the city and make your own way back to the hotel afterwards.

Our tour comes to an end after breakfast this morning. We hope you had a wonderful time with us! If you would like to extend your stay and explore more of Stockholm, or would like to book a departure airport transfer - please enquire.
