Fjord Travel Norway offers a winter tour from Oslo that captures the best of Norway. Tour the famous fjords with side trips such as dog sledding and a hot meal in a Sami tent. Your meal features local ingredients common to the Sami people. Travel by mountain train back to Oslo.
Book a tour on coastal steamer ships through Scan Am World Tours. For half the cost of passage on a cruise ship, you can travel north along the coast from Bergen to arctic Norway. You'll visit 34 ports, sailing past fishing villages, mountains and deep fjords. The steamers deliver mail and cargo, so don't expect all the amenities of a pleasure cruise ship. Rather than sitting in a ship casino, you'll view the postcard beauty of Norway's coastal terrain. If you feel adventurous, add a stay in an ice hotel.
From Oslo you can book a week-long tour with Fjord Tours that includes an opportunity to view the Northern Lights in Tromso, an arctic town in the far north. For the best opportunity to see the phenomenon, book your travel for October, February or March. Your tour includes a dogsled ride, a cruise through the fjords and a mountain train excursion back to Oslo.
Choose Norway for your Christmas holiday and treat yourself to an exciting tour by train through the scenic Norwegian countryside. The Fjord Tours package includes a Christmas cruise with a traditional holiday dinner featuring Norwegian culinary specialties. Holiday activities invite you to experience local traditions.
If you are a ski enthusiast, you will enjoy a circle tour of Norway's ski resorts. A Nordic Visitor tour begins in Oslo and takes you to Geilo, a small mountain village. Gielo is one of Norway's oldest ski resorts. You're sure to catch the holiday spirit when you pile into a sleigh pulled by reindeer. The next stop, Hemsedal, is located in what is known as the Scandinavian Alps, and offers several terrain parks. Before returning to Oslo you'll stop at Lillihammer, host to the Olympic Winter Games in 1994.
