Our programme focuses exclusively on the fjords of western Norway, this country's region of greatest natural beauty and diversity. The fjords are the soul of all Norway holidays and the iconic image that springs to travellers' minds when thinking about this awe-inspiring destination. Voted by National Geographic in 2009 as the world's best travel destination, Fjord Norway includes four UNESCO World Heritage attractions. We feature its two most beautiful cities, Ålesund in the north and historical Bergen in the south, both of which can be visited while staying in comfortable hotels in Norway. Between them lie the country's most famous fjord resorts: Loen on Nordfjord close to world famous Geirangerfjord, picturesque Balestrand on Sognefjord "King of the Fjords", lakeside Voss close to Naeroyfjord on our popular Norway In A Nutshell excursion, and lovely Ulvik on the serene Hardangerfjord. Wherever you turn on holidays in Norway you will be greeted by magnificent fjords, dazzling glaciers, towering mountains, thundering waterfalls and the warm hospitality of the Norwegian people themselves.
