A Family Summer Adventure through Norway

Discover the magic of Norway in summer, setting off on this luxury family trip to discover endless adventure and a rich local culture amidst the country's enchanting landscapes. From the vibrant cities of Oslo and Bergen to the dramatic fjords of the west and the sun-drenched islands of the Lofoten archipelago above the Arctic Circle, this is a journey that takes your family to the very edges of Europe's most spectacular wilderness.

Explore vibrant cities to uncover the richness of Norwegian art and culture or enjoy endless golden hours under the Midnight Sun as you set off for days filled with hiking adventures and thrilling boat excursions through the fjords. Immerse yourself in the charm of traditional fishing villages nestled in the Lofoten archipelago, all while gaining remarkable insights into coastal living from Pelorus’ network of expert local guides, as you set out to discover the best of Norway.

Bergen, the country's original capital, surrounded by mountains and fjords, boasts a thriving art scene. Venture into its old Hanseatic town, discover the street art and areas made famous by Banksy who lived here at the start of his career, and take a cable car for sweeping views over the city's colourful wooden houses, the surrounding seven mountains, and the fjords stretching out beyond. Experience a private RIB safari with cheese tasting and Viking legends in Gudvangen, or try the local delicacy, 'smalehove' - a specially prepared sheep head, perfect for the adventurous foodie.

Go deeper into fjordland life with visits to working farms tucked into the valley floors, where families can meet the farmers, learn about traditional Norwegian agriculture, and sit down to a long table lunch of local produce, think fresh cheeses, cured meats, and homemade breads eaten with a backdrop of towering peaks and glassy water. Spend an evening with a local family in one of the region's small riverside villages, sharing a home-cooked meal and hearing stories of life in one of the most remote and beautiful corners of Europe, a genuinely memorable encounter for children and adults alike.

Meet Venke, one of Norway's most important contemporary art collectors, on a private tour of her iconic Kaviar Factory gallery. Forage for wild ingredients with a master chef before a hands-on culinary workshop, or enjoy your fresh Arctic catch prepared by a private chef. Surf legendary Atlantic waves under the Midnight Sun with a personalised instructor, followed by a private beach lunch. Explore on foot via the famous Sherpa stairs, kayak through calm island waterways, or take a scenic helicopter flight to Norway's highest peak for epic views. Head beneath the surface on a scuba dive through pristine kelp forests, or set out with a local marine biologist on a private whale watching excursion. Round off with a match on the famous Henningsvaer football pitch - one of the northernmost in the world, perched on its own island amid open ocean.
