July 12 — July 29

Venture to Norway this summer to experience its stunning fjords and soaring peaks, and immerse yourself in the country’s culture and traditions. Norwegians have a storied history of connecting with the natural world and their kinship with the Earth is infused into many aspects of daily life. Forge your own relationship with the region as you hike, kayak, and adventure through spectacular landscapes and experience age-old traditions that live on today. From fishing hamlets to bustling old-world cities, discover how the people of Norway, including the Indigenous Sámi people, are preserving their rich cultural legacy for future generations.

• Embrace friluftsliv, or “open-air life,” while hiking in Jotunheimen National Park
• Photograph Norway’s world-famous fjords while kayaking beneath towering cliffs
• Venture above the Arctic Circle to the tiny fishing hamlets of the Lofoten islands
• Step aboard restored Viking longships and listen to centuries-old Viking lore
