11 or 12 days
Why Norway? Oh, where to begin. With a rugged countryside of mountains, fjords, and glaciers, travel in Norway is filled with natural wonders. Part of its allure is its rich history and seafaring culture that reaches back to the days of the Vikings who inhabited Norway throughout the 9th century. The modern cities and colorful coastal villages offer so many amazing authentic experiences. Lonely Planet rated Norway one of the best countries to travel to in 2026. They said, ”Norway is almost unfairly blessed in terms of natural beauty.” The New York Times named Norway in its “Places to Go in 2026” for dramatic landscapes and unexpected gems. Is it on your bucket list to cross the Arctic Circle? We’ll do that too, on Spike’s northernmost roadtrip!
Highlights include:
Oslo: Norway’s vibrant capital has an incredibly walkable harbor, a medieval Akershus Fortress overlooking the Oslofjord, and world-class restaurants and museums like the Viking Ship Museum… plus some fun neighborhood pubs.
Bergen: Norway’s second-largest city nestled amid seven mountains and fjords. Its UNESCO-listed Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf of colorful wooden wharves, Mount Fløyen’s panoramic trails (and goats!), lively Fish Market stalls brimming with seafood, medieval Bergenhus Fortress towers, and a great live music scene.
Flam Railway: In the quaint village of Flam, we’ll embark on one of the world’s steepest train rides and ascend 3,000 feet, passing mighty waterfalls, towering mountains and amazing valleys on your way to the mountain plateau of Myrdal. Make your way to the edge for the best view of the fjords and the breathtaking surrounding landscape.
Aurlandsfjord / Nærøyfjord: a stunning UNESCO World Heritage branch of the mighty Sognefjord in Norway, renowned for their sheer 1,800-meter cliffs, crystal-clear waters up to 1,000 meters deep, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque villages. You’ve never seen mountains and cliffs of this size!
Lofoten Islands: we’ll board a plane to this chain of islands in far northern Norway. You’ll be stunned by the dramatic jagged peaks plunging into the Norwegian Sea, colorful rorbu fishing cabins clinging to sheltered bays, pristine white-sand beaches, and quaint little villages like Reine and Svolvær.
September stands out as the best month for visiting Norway with fewer crowds than peak summer and vibrant autumn colors on mountains and beaches. Final dates, itinerary and price TBD once accommodations are locked in.
