This independent, unescorted program begins in Norway's charming
capital of Oslo. You'll have ample time to explore
this historic city, before boarding the famous
Bergen Railway, named one of the "Top Twenty Rail
Experiences in the World". The train will take you
through the unspoiled fjord country to Bergen, a
bustling port for nearly a thousand years. There
you'll embark on your roundtrip Norwegian Coastal
Voyage, experiencing Norway the way locals do. (Did
you know that people along the coast hop on and off
the Hurtigruten like we do a bus?) Relax and enjoy
the breathtaking scenery as the ship sails to some
fascinating ports of call - the historic towns of
Ålesund, Trondheim, Tromsø, as well as the
magnificent Lofoten Islands.
