Explore Norway with Fjord Line

#1 – City and nature in one

Do you prefer city breaks or nature escapes? Often, families have different preferences when planning a holiday. But why choose between the two? A trip to Fjord Norway offers the perfect blend of both city life and a fjord cruise. Start by exploring the beautiful historic old town of Bergen or Stavanger, and then enjoy the breathtaking fjord landscape on a relaxing fjord cruise.

#2 – Rafting

Have you ever paddled down a roaring river in a rubber boat and gotten really soaked along the way? No? Then it’s time to give it a try! The many wide rivers in the Telemark region and the west coast of Norway are perfect for rafting. There are plenty of tour operators offering rafting trips for beginners and experienced adventurers alike – or even for the whole family. Adrenaline and butterflies guaranteed.

#3 – Camping in nature

Unleash your inner outdoor enthusiast. Wild camping, away from traditional campsites, is becoming increasingly popular – and thanks to Norway’s “right to roam,” it’s allowed (almost) everywhere. Take your family on an unforgettable camping adventure. Pick berries on the mountain plateau, catch your dinner in a rushing river and cook it over an open fire as night falls – what more could you wish for from an outdoor holiday? But always remember: Leave nature as you found it.

#4 – Relaxation in historic surroundings

Staying in accommodations with an interesting history and plenty of character is becoming more popular. The historic Straand Hotel in the idyllic holiday town of Vrådal, family-owned since its founding in 1864, offers a very special hotel experience. The Straand family has run the beautiful hotel for more than five generations, and the current owner, Lars Arne, is just as passionate about Straand Hotel as his ancestors were. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, and delicious treats made from regional ingredients, you’ll certainly find them here.

#5 – Solitary holidays in beautiful surroundings

The Norwegian wilderness is perfect for those looking to encounter as few people as possible on their holiday. On a backpacking trip through Norway’s national parks, you’ll rarely come across large groups of people – except perhaps moose, birds, and other exciting wildlife – allowing you to fully enjoy nature and the peaceful surroundings.

#6 – Hiking with local guides

The major natural landmarks are always worth a visit – so we suggest exciting hikes to places like Preikestolen or Kjeragbolten. And of course, with well-trained local guides by your side, ensuring a safe hike and providing plenty of fascinating information about the area along the way.

#7 – Go Green: Train instead of car

If you want to travel to Norway without a car, you don’t have to stay in the cities – you can easily reach the stunning countryside! For example, there are many wonderful holiday spots along the Bergen Railway, such as the little gem Voss. So, pack your backpack, hop on board, and sit back and relax as Norway’s impressive scenery slowly passes by the train windows.

#8 – Workation

Is your workspace feeling a bit cramped? A “workation” might be just what you need! A “workation” combines work and vacation. Imagine closing your laptop in the afternoon and immediately diving into the crystal-clear mountain lake in front of your cabin – that’s how to make a workweek feel much more relaxed.

Gaustablikk Høyfjellshotell is an example of a fantastic workation destination: nestled in the picturesque highlands, the hotel offers its own restaurant with a bar, excellent conference facilities, free WiFi throughout, and a superb wellness area. The highlight is the floating sauna on the lake next to the hotel, where you can quickly leave all work-related stress behind.

#9 – A detour to Kristiansand

Fancy a quick trip to Norway and back? No problem! During the summer season, our state-of-the-art Fjord FSTR catamaran whisks you across the Skagerrak multiple times a day. On the other side awaits the picturesque Kristiansand, a coastal gem in southern Norway, offering not only the exciting “Kristiansand Dyrepark” but also a charming city centre with great restaurants, excellent shopping, and beautiful parks.

#10 – Unusual travel destinations

Many travellers are on the hunt for the ultimate holiday photo to proudly show off back home. But iconic sights like the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa are becoming too mainstream for most. How about something more unique? “Trollpikken,” for example, is a… well, rather special rock formation near Stavanger.
