With shimmering fjords, soaring mountains and just four million people, Norway is a spectacular, tranquil country that offers the chance to witness nature at its most unspoilt. It's not just about the scenery, however; Norway's cities - from northern Tromso, famous for the Aurora Borealis and summer 'white nights', to bustling Oslo and waterfront Bergen - ooze effortless Scandi style, and seafood to die for.
It's not often that I stand around with my mouth open, but drifting up the Hardangerfjord, the third largest fjord on the planet, proved hard to not have my jaw on the floor. The clear water is flanked by vast cliffs which rise sharply hundreds of feet into the air, softened by waterfalls and sleepy villages, huddled at the bottom of the slopes. My trip around Norway has been my favourite; hundreds of spectacular miles, topped off with a seafood feast on Bergen's pretty harbour.
There simply is nowhere on Earth quite like the Lofoten Islands - dramatic, awe-inspiring landscapes and perfect for exhilarating walking.
A land defined by jagged mountains and cerulean-coloured waters, a journey through the fjords of Norway's coastline is nothing short of spectacular. Best experienced at one's own pace, this holiday allows visitors to combine a journey by road with one by ship on a Hurtigruten cruise, exploring the area's beauty in two very different ways.
An 11-day wildlife expedition to the high Arctic, including a 10-day voyage around the island of Spitsbergen in search of breeding seabirds, Polar Bears, Walrus and spectacular scenery.
Norway offers magnificent scenery on such a grand scale that without featuring a 6-weeks motoring tour we simply couldn't do it justice. So in the end it just had to be the Western Fjords.
