GRADE 11 & 12
SCANDINAVIA & CRUISING THE ARCTIC JULY
PROGRAM
Get ready for an unforgettable Scandinavian adventure, where vibrant Nordic cities, Arctic wilderness, dramatic fjords and beautiful coastlines come together under the glow of the Midnight Sun. From the lively streets of Oslo to the remote landscapes of northern Norway, you’ll journey by land, sea and air through three countries, experiencing some of Scandinavia’s most spectacular scenery, fascinating cultures and unforgettable adventures along the way.
Our journey begins in Oslo, Norway’s vibrant capital, where modern city life meets spectacular natural surroundings. You’ll explore the city’s highlights, from the impressive Oslo Opera House and Royal Palace to the beautiful Vigeland Sculpture Park, while experiencing the unique blend of history, innovation and Scandinavian lifestyle that makes Oslo so special. Visit the Nobel Peace Center and learn about the history of the Nobel Peace Prize and the people and organizations recognized for their work toward peace. For an adrenaline rush, opt for Holmenkollen Ziplining, soaring over the hillside with spectacular views of Oslo and the Oslofjord below.
From Oslo, you’ll fly north to Kirkenes, one of Norway’s northernmost towns, where you’ll experience a completely different side of Norway surrounded by rugged Arctic landscapes and breathtaking coastal scenery. Take some time to explore this unique Arctic destination before beginning your coastal voyage south along Norway’s spectacular coastline. Despite its northern location, the region experiences mild, spring-like temperatures during the summer, making it a comfortable time to explore the Arctic landscapes.
From Kirkenes, you’ll board your Norwegian coastal voyage and begin an unforgettable journey south along Norway’s spectacular coastline. Settle into life onboard with three meals daily included throughout the voyage, while enjoying dramatic fjords, towering mountains, remote coastal communities and some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to step off the ship and explore the charming coastal towns and villages we visit, discovering local culture, scenery and everyday life before continuing our journey south. You’ll also experience an unforgettable Sea Eagle Safari through Trollfjorden, where you’ll venture off the ship onto a smaller boat and travel through spectacular fjord scenery in search of magnificent white-tailed sea eagles. As the voyage continues, sit back, take in the ever-changing landscapes and enjoy the unique experience of travelling along Norway’s coast before arriving in Bergen.
Your coastal journey concludes in Bergen, known as the gateway to Norway’s fjords. You’ll explore the colourful Bryggen waterfront, wander through the historic city centre and ride the Fløibanen funicular to Mount Fløyen for panoramic views over Bergen and the surrounding landscape.
From Bergen, take a flight to Copenhagen, Denmark’s stylish capital, where historic architecture, colourful waterfronts and lively streets come together. Explore the city on a guided bike tour, cycling past iconic sights including Nyhavn, the Amalienborg area and the famous Little Mermaid. Enjoy a relaxing beach day at Amager Beach Park, Copenhagen’s largest beach, with sandy shores, dunes and beautiful views across the Øresund. During your free time, visit Tivoli Gardens, one of the world’s oldest amusement parks, for thrilling rides and games. Opt in for a day trip to Malmö, Sweden, and discover its charming old town, vibrant waterfront and unique Swedish culture.
Next, take the train from Copenhagen to Gothenburg, Sweden’s vibrant west-coast city. Discover the historic Haga neighbourhood, explore the city’s canals and waterfront, and experience the relaxed atmosphere of Sweden’s second-largest city. For a coastal adventure, opt for a RIB Archipelago Adventure, exploring charming islands, rocky coastlines and picturesque seaside villages while experiencing the natural beauty of Sweden’s west coast.
Your Scandinavian adventure concludes in Stockholm, Sweden’s beautiful capital, spread across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Explore the city on a walking tour through the historic streets of Gamla Stan, see the Royal Palace and discover Stockholm’s beautiful waterfront and lively squares. Enjoy free time to explore the city at your own pace, from its fascinating museums and historic landmarks to its cafés, shops and restaurants. From the Arctic north to the vibrant cities of Scandinavia, this journey offers an unforgettable mix of adventure, culture and breathtaking landscapes.
