Cocktails under the midnight sun was a highlight of their time inside the Artic Circle.

The group then travelled to Hardangerfjord, the queen of fjords, taking in the stunning views by rib boat. Tasting local Norwegian cider and the best of Norwegian cuisine was an unforgettable experience

Finally, the group travelled to Bergen, gateway to the fjords, where two nights were spent exploring this compact and scenic city. Highlights include a trip on a funicular, a gondola ride for lunch on a mountain top and a fjord cruise around the city.
