Discover the incomparable mix of stunning vistas and rich historic sites in Scandinavia. In Copenhagen, explore the castles, the palaces, Town Hall topped by the gigantic World Clock, and charming Tivoli Gardens. Take a minute to catch your breath as you marvel at Bergen’s overwhelming fjords – long narrow inlets of sea bordered by steep cliffs, shimmering glaciers and glorious waterfalls. You’ll experience breathtaking sites of natural beauty while you learn about the people and their customs, as well as the captivating cultural and historical features of Scandinavia. In Stockholm, you’ll explore art and architecture in the old town where you’ll be charmed by the cozy little houses and storefronts. Oslo offers many outstanding sites of cultural significance but maybe none as impressive as the 9th-century Viking ships that give you the opportunity to touch a piece of history that has taken on legendary proportions.
