I'm trying to book a 2 week tour in Norway that starts and ends in Oslo. I'm looking at April/May 2026. I am particularly interested in train trips Oslo to flam to Bergin and the other tour that goes further north. I would need to get back to Oslo as I'm then spending time in Kragero for 2 further weeks before i head home. Do you have any train journey tours that i could book back to back?

The transportation for the trip will be by motorcoach (bus), not by train. While we do offer trips that include train travel, they differ from the itinerary you're currently considering.

Is the 9day Best of Norway between 12 and 20 September 2025 guaranteed as going ahead yet?

The departure on 12-Sep-2025 is confirmed as a definite departure. However, the trip is currently on request status, so we encourage you to make your booking soon to secure your spots.

What is the single supplement? I am 74 years old and healthy, good shape but cannot carry my own luggage. Is there someone who does that? The range of ages is pretty broad. Based upon prior groups in May, how many people are in their 60's? 50's? 70's? Would the people be older if I picked an earlier date in May? Is the single supplement less for the earlier May trips?

For your preferred departure date for this tour, the Single Supplement cost is an additional USD 630.00. This tour would cost a total of USD 4,505.00 in a Single Room. We offer porterage for most of our hotels however, for selected hotels such as Thon Sandven and Thon Hotel Cecil, porterage will not be provided. Apologies as we have no visibility of the number of guests who have booked this tour in a specific departure as well as their age so we are unable to provide these details.

What is the age suitability for this tour?

This tour is open to all ages, featuring a leisurely activity level with manageable walking distances.

What is the cancellation policy for the tour?

The cancellation fees escalate closer to the departure date, with fees of 80% if canceled within 29 to 2 days, and 100% on the day prior to the trip.

Is there a recommended way to tip on the tour?

Pre-paid gratuities are suggested, but tipping can also be done in cash during the tour. Recommended amounts vary.

Does this tour include Viking activities? My son is very interested in learning about the Vikings. Looking for a specific tour that would be best for learning the Viking culture.

While Trafalgar currently does not offer tours specifically focused on the Viking experience, we've got some fantastic alternatives that might pique your interest! Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Baltics are incredible destinations with rich Viking history and stunning landscapes that make for an unforgettable adventure!

Can you please confirm what the cost would be for one night of pre-tour accommodation?

Pre-accommodation has not yet been added to our system. We're unable to confirm the price at this time. Feel free to reach out to us at least 60 days prior to the start of your trip to confirm the pre-accommodation price.

Want to plan for a private tour in Norway that start with Oslo/ styrn/voss/ Bergen. Do have private guide & a car? How much does it cost me for this period?

Trafalgar tours doesn't offer a private tour. And this trip we are packaged. The September 2024 departure we have available on this trip are September 6 and 13.

How do flight details impact the tour arrangements?

Flight details must be provided at least 21 days prior to departure to arrange for chargeable transfers as needed.

Thank you for your feedback during your time in Norway. It is excellent that your Travel Director and Coach Driver provided you with such professional and knowledgeable guidance throughout your trip to Canada. However, we regret to learn that you felt some of the hotels failed to meet the high standards we are recognised for. It should be noted that hotel standards may vary from country to country. As such, some hotels' size, characters, and amenities may differ from what our guests are accustomed to in their home nations. However, the condition of each establishment should still be in line with our high standards. Your concerns will be investigated accordingly to help us make the necessary improvements for our guests. We recognise that you would have liked for some of the Optional Experiences to have been included in the itinerary; however, we offer these to allow our guests to explore further or to give those that would prefer to undertake independent sightseeing or leisure time the opportunity to do so. That said, we hope you have taken some lasting memories from your time away with us.

  Most important: Does the tour include boat trips in the fjords we visit or do we just view from shore?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written December 2024
  This tour will only use Motorcoach as mode of transport, no boat trips included but there is an Optional Experience at an additional cost which the Travel Director might offer on tour which will include a relaxing cruise along the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord with its towering mountains and fabulous scenery. Optional Experiences can only be booked through the Travel Director on the commencement of the tour.
