At the end of the 19th century, road connections were non-existent in Northern Norway, and it took no less than 3 weeks in summer and 5 months in winter to send a letter from Trondheim to Hammerfest!
A merchant marine captain, Richard With, took up the challenge of the idea of a maritime line between these two cities, on behalf of a young shipping company which signed, in May 1893, a 4-year contract.
Everywhere along the way, the ship and the crew were greeted with celebrations: a national institution has just been born and the Coastal Express shipping line, HURTIGRUTEN, immediately became part of the
national heritage. Today, the 34 stops (on the full cruise) are connected daily, day and night, summer, and winter, by 11 ships, each making the round trip in 11 days. You will disembark in the afternoon and check-in at your hotel.

Norway offers a diverse array of tour packages catering to various interests and preferences. Nature enthusiasts can embark on mesmerizing fjord cruises, exploring the stunning coastal landscapes and glacier-carved valleys. Adventurers can opt for thrilling trekking and hiking tours, traversing the country's picturesque mountain trails and wilderness areas. Winter enthusiasts can indulge in exhilarating Northern Lights tours or enjoy skiing and snowboarding in world-class resorts. Cultural enthusiasts can delve into Norway's rich history and traditions through city sightseeing tours, visiting museums, and experiencing traditional festivals. Wildlife and nature photography tours allow travelers to capture the country's abundant wildlife and scenic vistas. Additionally, specialized tours focusing on sustainable travel, culinary experiences, and coastal expeditions are also available, making Norway a perfect destination for a wide range of travelers.
Norway tour packages typically include popular destinations such as the vibrant capital city of Oslo, home to cultural treasures like the Viking Ship Museum and the Royal Palace. The iconic fjords like Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are must-visit highlights. Bergen, a charming coastal city, offers a blend of historic architecture and stunning coastal views. Tromsø, in the Arctic Circle, is ideal for Northern Lights experiences. Additionally, the Lofoten Islands captivate travelers with their dramatic landscapes, while the majestic North Cape provides a glimpse of the Arctic wilderness. Each destination in a Norway tour package showcases unique natural beauty and cultural significance, offering travelers an unforgettable Scandinavian experience.
Yes, accommodation is typically included in Norway tour packages. Depending on the type of package and the level of comfort chosen, accommodations can range from budget-friendly hotels and hostels to luxurious resorts and lodges. Many tour packages offer a variety of options to cater to different preferences and budgets. Whether it's staying in the heart of bustling cities, near the serene fjords, or amidst the tranquil countryside, travelers can expect comfortable lodging throughout their Norway journey. Including accommodation in the tour package ensures that travelers have a hassle-free experience, allowing them to focus on exploring the country's stunning landscapes, rich culture, and diverse attractions.
The currency of Norway is the Norwegian Krone, abbreviated as NOK. The krone is the official legal tender used throughout the country for all transactions. One krone is further divided into 100 øre, though the use of øre coins has declined, and most transactions are rounded to the nearest krone. As a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Norway is not part of the European Union, but it is closely connected to the EU's economic policies, and the krone's exchange rate can be influenced by international financial markets. When visiting Norway, it is essential to be aware of the current exchange rates and have local currency available for purchases, as not all places may accept credit cards or foreign currencies.
The best time to visit Norway largely depends on the type of experience one desires. For travelers seeking pleasant weather and long daylight hours for outdoor activities, the summer months from June to August are ideal. During this time, the country comes alive with vibrant festivals, and the stunning fjords, mountains, and coastal areas are easily accessible. Alternatively, for those eager to witness the magical Northern Lights, the winter months from late September to early April offer the best chance, especially in northern regions like Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands. Keep in mind that winter can be cold, but it also presents opportunities for winter sports and unique cultural experiences. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are shoulder seasons with milder weather, fewer crowds, and a chance to catch the stunning colors of the fall foliage. Ultimately, the best time to visit Norway depends on individual preferences, whether it's for summer adventures, winter wonderlands, or the enchanting auroras.
Booking a Norway tour package is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in a few simple steps. First, conduct research to find reputable travel agencies or online platforms that offer Norway tour packages. Browse through their itineraries to select the package that best suits your preferences and interests. Once you've chosen a package, review the details, inclusions, and pricing.
