NORTHERN-NORWAY
“The Kingdom of Light” – where summer never ends under the midnight sun, and winter nights glow with northern lights. Experience coastal culture up close in charming fishing villages, stay in traditional fishermen’s cabins, and enjoy some of the world’s best seafood.
From the golden glow of the midnight sun to the dancing ribbons of the northern lights, Northern Norway is pure magic. This is Norway’s largest region, home to thousands of islands, charming fishing villages, dramatic mountains, and endless stretches of white beaches.
Here, coastal culture runs deep. Stay in a traditional fisherman’s cabin, feel the salt breeze from the sea, and taste some of the freshest seafood in the world. Join a whale safari, wander along windswept shores, or simply enjoy the silence of untouched Arctic landscapes. Northern Norway is where raw wilderness and warm hospitality meet.
HIGHLIGHTS
STAY IN A FISHERMAN’S CABIN (RORBU)
Wake up to the sound of waves lapping against the pier and the smell of salt and seaweed in the air. Overnighting in a traditional rorbu cabin gives you an authentic taste of coastal life.
WHALE SAFARIARI
In summer, the deep fjords are home to sperm whales, while winter brings orcas closer to shore. Meeting these giants in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
NORTHERN LIGHTS & MIDNIGHT SUN
In winter, the Arctic sky ignites with the northern lights. In summer, the sun never sets, bathing the landscape in a surreal glow. Both seasons create unforgettable memories.
