Iceland & the Islands Summer 2017

Norway Norway is a true celebration of the great outdoors. When May comes around, the vast expanses of snow that blanket the countryside in the winter months recede to the mountaintops, uncovering an alluring landscape of craggy boulders and rugged peaks, glacier-carved fjords and verdant green valleys, criss-crossed with hiking trails and dotted with wooden mountain cabins. With a population of just 5 million, Norway is the ideal choice to find an uninterrupted slice of wilderness.

Head high above the Arctic Circle to Spitsbergen, an island in the Svalbard archipelago located halfway between Tromso and the North Pole to witness the magical midnight sun; endless ice fields and mighty glaciers are spectacularly illuminated for 24 hours a day. Or choose to explore the picturesque harbour of Tromso, lined with coloured wooden houses and take a cable car to the top of Mount Storsteinen for sweeping panoramas over the town and surrounding islands.
