Oslo, the capital of Norway and its economic hub, is home to museums where Viking culture lives on and architecture that still influences design around the world. Settle into your hotel and, later, eat a welcome dinner at your hotel’s restaurant.
Grand Hotel Oslo
Meals:
2 Oslo – Treasures of Christiania
Experience life along the scenic Oslo fjord, starting with a guided visit to Vigeland Park, a Scandinavian cultural treasure comprising over 200 granite, bronze and wrought-iron sculptures. View the cutting-edge Oslo Opera House, learn about its unique architecture and perhaps opt for a walk on its mountain-inspired sloping roof. Then explore the Munch Museum to peruse its vast collection of artworks, texts, letters, photos and personal possessions bequeathed to the city by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, best known for his iconic modern Expressionist work The Scream. Later, discover the city on your own, perhaps stopping for lunch at the Sanguine Brasserie, with its views of the stunning fjord.
Grand Hotel Oslo
Meals:
3 Oslo – Into the Fjords
Fly to Alesund, a fishing town on Norway’s rugged west coast. Upon arrival, begin your explorations of stunning Fjordland in charming Alnes on the island of Godoya, which you reach via underwater sea tunnels. Marvel at the village’s classic boathouses and lighthouse, and note how dwellings were built close together for protection against the sometimes-fierce coastal climate. Stop into the lighthouse’s charming onsite café to savor a Norwegian vafle (waffle) or svele (pancake) with fresh-brewed coffee.
Storfjord Hotel
Meals:
4 Storfjord – Design Your Day
Select from today’s Design Your Day activities.
- Kayak a Tranquil Fjord accompanied by an expert instructor, stopping in bays and inlets, and watching for seabirds and other aquatic life.
- Hike the Mountainous Terrain of the Fjord with a guide who reveals the flora and fauna of the Nordic forest.
- Sample Tasty Cuisine With Your Hotel’s Chef as he explains his culinary philosophy and shares his favorite cooking techniques.
This afternoon, return to Alesund for lunch at a local restaurant. Then enjoy a guided, panoramic tour to view its distinctive architectural style born of devastation. After a fire destroyed much of the city in 1904, dwellings here were rebuilt in an Art Nouveau style with a local folkloric twist, sporting turrets, spires and medieval ornamentation, including dragons. This evening, enter a traditional Norwegian lavvo (tent) to savor dinner made from local ingredients and served al fresco around a roaring fire.
Storfjord Hotel
Meals:
5 Geirangerfjord – Panoramic Fjord Cruise
Journey along Storfjord, taking in the extraordinary scenery and traversing the winding Eagle Road, which carries you up for views over rugged coastal terrain. View Seven Sisters Falls and gaze down upon the many ships in the fjord far below. Next, board a traditional ferry for a panoramic cruise along the wondrous Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Disembark in Hellysylt and continue toward the picturesque village of Loen, where you eat lunch accompanied by stunning views at a skylift restaurant. Then settle into your waterside hotel with some free time before sampling one of Norway’s most sumptuous buffets.
Hotel Alexandra
Meals:
6 Naeroyfjord – Meet the Vikings
Rise early for a drive along a route that includes a ferry crossing of the Sognefjord and a jaunt through the Laerdal tunnel, the world’s longest road tunnel. Arrive in the tiny village of Flam, located on the shores of the Aurlandsfjord, which you experience by RIB (rigid inflatable boat), and then cruise into the spectacular Naeroyfjord to Laegdafossen — a breathtaking waterfall in the heart of this UNESCO-listed natural wonder — the perfect vantage point for views into the spectacular fjord. Along the way, enjoy tales of the region’s history shared by your personal guide. Disembark in Gudvangen and enter the historic Viking village of Njardarheimr to view reconstructed Viking-style houses built using the tools and techniques of the Viking Age. Stop at the home of the resident Viking chieftain, your host for a private meal prepared with traditional Viking methods, on an A&K-exclusive experience. First, look on as the Viking style of combat is recreated for your enjoyment, and then savor dishes flavored with the kinds of herbs and spices the Vikings brought back to the region from their seafaring forays. Afterward, continue to Bergen, a UNESCO World Heritage City, and check in at your hotel.
Skostredet Hotel
Meals:
7 Bergen – Hanseatic City
Travel outside Bergen to visit Fantoft, a stave church dating to the 13th century. Proceed to the Hanseatic Museum and Schotstuene in Bergen, two museums where you see how the merchants from the Hanseatic League traded stock, fish and grains from the 14th through 18th centuries. Continue to the Bergen Fish Market to enjoy a sampling of traditional local products. This evening, gather for dinner at a local restaurant.
Skostredet Hotel
Meals:
8 Copenhagen, Denmark – Seaside Capital
Fly to Copenhagen, the enchanting capital of Denmark, to discover its elegant contrast of medieval and modern architecture and examples of world-famous Danish design. Eat a typical Danish lunch at iconic Nyhavn Harbour, followed by a boating experience through the canals of the city. Settled as a small stone-walled fishing village in the 11th century, learn how Copenhagen grew into a sea-trading port city and later a center for elegant architecture throughout the Renaissance.
Hotel D'angleterre
Meals:
9 Copenhagen – Exclusive Danish Family Visit
Venture outside Copenhagen to discover Frederiksborg Castle, former home of Denmark’s royal family. Discover five centuries of Danish history through its rich collection of paintings, furniture and applied art. Continue to the internationally known Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. View its 4,000-plus pieces, mainly paintings and sculptures, many juxtaposed with windows offering views onto the lovely Danish landscape. This afternoon, savor a relaxing “hygge Sunday” on a private visit with a local Dane’s family. Share afternoon tea and conversation with them on this A&K-exclusive experience. Later enjoy a farewell dinner at iconic Tivoli Gardens.
