What’s the weather like?
The weather in the Norwegian fjords can be unpredictable! We suggest packing for changeable weather – warm, weatherproof layers and a trusty raincoat will be essential.
What type of coach is used?
As with all our tours, you can expect to travel in one of our luxury minicoaches. Specifically for this trip, fuller tours may use a slightly larger coach. This ensures your comfort and gives you the option of a window seat on our scenic drives – cameras at the ready!
Will I need to pre-order any meals?
Our tour through Norway takes us to the heart of communities in some of the country’s more remote locations. As a result, you may be required to pre-order some of your included dinners on your journey’s first day – this is so the local restaurants can make every effort to cater for your preferences.
Will I need to bring cash with me?
While it may be useful to carry some cash, cards and contactless payments are the most widely accepted in Norway.
