Oceania Riviera

Journey across the fjords to lofty Trollstigen for a thrilling drive down Norway’s most dramatic mountain road, the multi-hairpin Troll’s Road. This is a true once-in-a-lifetime road trip you’ll share tales and snapshots of for years to come. The excursion’s initial hours are simply scenic as the coach makes its way from Alesund, rounding Stordal Bay, crossing fertile Valldal Valley and ascending though increasingly stunning scenery to a lunch stop half a mile up in Trollstigen. Nourished with classic Norwegian fare including cream with lingonberries, it’s time to fasten your seatbelts for the day’s main attraction: descent down the daring hairpins and switchbacks of the 1939 roadbuilding masterwork nicknamed the Troll’s Ladder. Once in the lower valley, with your heartrate slowly returning to normal, the coach will bring you face to face with a majestic waterfall and the über-sheer Troll Wall – Europe’s highest perpendicular rock face. The return route to Alesund brings you past a series of quaint villages along the Romsdalsfjord. No hairpin turns required.

Discover the rich cultural history of Norway at the Sunnmore Museum, an open-air venue showcasing over 50 traditional farmhouses and an extensive collection of historic boats. You'll see a replica of the “Kvalsund,” the oldest complete Viking ship found in Norway, as well as vessels tied to local legends like the WWII Shetland Bus. The journey includes stunning views of Alesund's Art Nouveau architecture, and culminates with a panoramic vista of the fjords, islands, and mountains from the iconic Mount Aksla viewpoint. This half-day tour blends history, culture, and breathtaking scenery.

Explore the history and scenic beauty of Alesund with an exclusive small-group tour designed for those seeking a more intimate experience. Begin with a drive along the fjords to Borgund and the Sunnmore Museum, an open-air venue showcasing over 50 traditional Norwegian farmhouses and boats, including a replica of the Viking "Kvalsund" ship. Wander among these relocated buildings, some with sod roofs, and discover how local life has evolved over centuries. On the way back, enjoy panoramic views of Alesund’s islands, mountains, and fjords from the breathtaking Mount Aksla viewpoint.

Explore Alesund’s picturesque streets on this walking tour, highlighting one of the last Art Nouveau cities in Europe. Rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1904, Alesund’s skyline showcases elegant spires, turrets, and medieval ornaments, thanks to the German masons sent by Emperor Wilhelm II. Learn about the city’s fascinating history, including its Viking roots and status as Norway’s fisheries capital. At the base of Mount Aksla, you’ll find statues of Wilhelm and Viking legend Rollo. For an extra challenge, take the optional climb up 418 steps for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding landscapes.

Experience a scenic journey across bridges and through tunnels to the remote islands of Giske and Godoy, rich in Viking history. On Giske, the "Saga Island," you’ll learn about Viking King Rollo, the larger-than-life figure who conquered Norway and became the ancestor of the English royal family. Admire the historic marble Giske Chapel, dating from 1135, before continuing to Godoy Island. There, you’ll stroll through the picturesque fishing village of Alnes and take in the striking red and white lighthouse facing the Atlantic, with Mount Aksla providing panoramic views along the way.

Experience Hammerfest in a truly unique way during this guided walk that visits a local indigenous Sami camp. A compact, modern outpost on the island of Kvaløya, Hammerfest is known as the world’s northernmost town – though tiny Honningsvag has recently challenged that distinction. It’s also known as the Hiroshima of Europe, having been completely reconstructed after retreating German troops burned it to cinders during World War II. On foot from the pier, you’ll pass local shopping streets. A zigzag gravel road leads you up to the Mount Salen vista point, where you’ll admire the islands of Hoja and Hjelmenout floating out in the fjord. Proceeding on to the Mikkelgammen Sami camp, you’ll take a seat on reindeer skins stretched over springy birch twigs around an open fire – to learn about the Sami culture. Enjoy a special performance of joiks, wordless chants that are unique and deeply personal to each member of the Sami population. Your hosts will be wearing their colorful national costumes and will offer a sampling of cloudberries, smoked reindeer meat, polar bread, and coffee.

We start the tour with a photo stop at the Meridian Column. This beautiful memorial was dedicated in 1856 to commemorate the first efforts to measure the exact size and shape of the Earth. UNESCO has included the Meridian Column on its World Heritage List. Gain insights on Hammerfest’s uncommon history on a drive that visits the town’s famous Museum of Reconstruction. A compact, modern outpost on the island of Kvaløya, Hammerfest is known as the world’s northernmost town – though tiny Honningsvag has recently challenged that distinction. It’s also known as the Hiroshima of Europe, having been reduced to cinders by retreating German troops during World War II. Only a tiny chapel in the graveyard next to Hammerfest Church – a strikingly iconic 1961 A-frame structure – survived the firestorm. But, in a testament to human determination, the town was completely rebuilt in the postwar years. The inspiring story of this triumph over destruction is thoughtfully presented in the Museum of Reconstruction. During your visit, you’ll get an inside look at the life and culture of Hammerfest before the war, its citizens’ forced evacuation and refugee existence after the conflagration, and the tide of optimism that empowered the town’s reconstruction over the years that followed. Rejoining your coach, take a short ride towards Mount Salen for exquisite town, fjord and mountains views.

Enjoy a panoramic spin around Hammerfest, with a visit to the almost-prestigious Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society. Here in the world’s northernmost town, the price paid for glorious midnight sun during summer is total darkness from November to January. Despite the extremes, a compact but modern town thrives here, busy with fishing, trade, petroleum and recreational tourism. Setting out from the pier, you’ll soon find yourself in the nearby hills and meadows then onto a photo stop in Finnmark Mountain Plains. Surveying the tiny fishing village of Forsol, you’ll begin to see Hammerfest as the big city. And for a full perspective on the region’s desolate beauty, a trip up Mount Salen provides breathtaking views over the town, fjord and surrounding islands. Back in town center, you’ll pass the Museum of Reconstruction and A-framed Hammerfest Church enroute to the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society. Don’t let the name fool you. Headquartered at Town Hall, the Society was founded in 1963 to celebrate Hammerfest’s iconic white mascot and proud traditions as a base for hunting and fishing in Arctic waters. And pretty much anyone who visits Hammerfest in person gets to be a lifetime member.

Experience the rich Viking heritage and religious history of Harstad on this engaging tour. Visit the northernmost medieval stone church in Norway, Trondenes Church, which has stood strong for nearly 800 years. Inside, you'll admire intricate religious artworks and the font that baptized the area's first Christians. Afterward, head to the Trondenes Historical Center, where multimedia displays bring to life Harstad's Viking and Norse heritage, providing an immersive look into the region’s past.

Afterward, continue through the town’s suburbs to glimpse daily life in this remote northern city, before a drive along the harbor reveals the vibrant commerce of shipyards and oil companies.

Hike like a local on this rewarding trek to the summit of Mt. Kjeipen, a favorite lookout in Harstad. After a scenic 30-minute drive, embark on a 1.5-mile ascent through forested terrain, mountain lakes, and coastal marshlands. As you reach the top, take in breathtaking views of the surrounding fjords and cliffs, with eagles soaring above. Enjoy freshly brewed campfire coffee and snacks at the summit before making your downhill return, capturing stunning photos along the way.

Cruise along the stunning Akrafjorden, a fjord that twists through the Norwegian countryside, offering views of the dramatic landscape. One of the highlights of this scenic journey is the thundering Langfoss waterfall, one of Norway’s most photographed natural wonders. The waterfall cascades down the mountainside in a rushing flow that meets the fjord below, creating a striking sight. As you cruise closer, you may spot adventurous hikers scaling the rugged trail that leads to the top of the falls.

Immerse yourself in Norway's rich history by visiting the Arquebus War Museum and significant historical landmarks. The museum, housed in a former chair factory, is one of Norway's largest and showcases thousands of artifacts related to the country's experiences during World War II, including the Resistance movement and covert radio transmissions that played a key role in the Allied victory. Afterward, take in the breathtaking views of the North Sea from Steinsfjellet lookout. The tour concludes with a visit to the Haraldshaugen monument, erected in honor of Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway, who unified the country in the 9th century.

Explore the charming fishing town of Skudeneshavn, known for its 19th-century heritage and preserved architecture. Begin by viewing a poignant memorial to local fishermen who lost their lives at sea, then visit the Mælandgården Museum, housed in a well-preserved merchant's residence from the same period. The museum’s exhibits highlight the impact of the herring industry on the town's economy. Stroll through Skudeneshavn’s narrow streets, lined with over 200 restored houses and boathouses, before enjoying free time to browse shops or sample fresh seafood along Søragada, the town's main street.

Gain a comprehensive view of Haugesund on a relaxed driving tour that highlights the town's most notable landmarks and historical sites. You’ll start with a visit to Haraldshaugen, a national monument dedicated to Harald I, Norway’s first king, who unified the country in the 10th century. The monument commemorates his final victory at Hafrsfjord. As you drive through Haugesund, admire the extravagant pink-hued town hall, built in 1931 with little regard for expense, showcasing classical architecture. For sweeping views of the town and surrounding islands, the tour concludes at Steinsfjellet, an elevated lookout offering panoramic vistas of the North Sea.

Take a leisurely walk through Haugesund, delving into its rich seafaring history and Viking heritage. Your guide will explain how the town’s prosperity blossomed with the 19th-century herring fisheries, and highlight landmarks along the picturesque quayside. As you stroll along Haraldsgata, the town's pedestrian-only shopping street, you’ll have the opportunity to explore its boutiques and cafes. You'll also visit the pink-hued neo-classical town hall, a local architectural gem. Viking influence is strong in Haugesund, and you will learn about the Dragon Harald Fairhair, the world’s largest replica Viking longboat, symbolizing the area's historic ties to Norse exploration.

Hike along a scenic coastal trail on Karmoy Island, where you’ll be immersed in the natural beauty of Norway’s wild countryside. The route will take you across the iconic Akra Beach, frequently voted the most beautiful beach in the country, with its soft white sand and dune flora. As you hike, you’ll have the opportunity to watch for native wildlife, particularly bird species like geese, gulls, and kingfishers.

Enjoy a lovely seaside drive to the village of Eide, where you will explore an underground quarry and raft across its crystal-clear lake.

Loop through the sparsely populated island of Vestavagøy, once known as Lofotr, a fertile farming region that the Vikings occupied more than a millennium ago. While browsing the Lofotr Viking Museum, you will discover much about early life in this part of Norway. The museum’s main attraction is the longhouse of a Viking chieftain that is an exact replica of one that archaeologists unearthed there. Shaped like an upside-down boat, it is the largest longhouse ever discovered in Scandinavia. To add to the authenicity, costumed craftspeople will be engaged in traditional trades from the Viking era.
