Lofoten & Norwegian Fjords

In Norway, the journey is the destination, as nature showcases an incredible diversity. On a trip through Fjord Norway, you will experience a characteristic landscape with roaring waterfalls, imposing mountains, and deep fjords. The island paradises of the Lofoten and Vesterålen are among the most impressive landscapes in Scandinavia. You can expect majestic mountains, deep blue fjords, and white sandy beaches.

Day 1 | Arrival in Kiel (approx. 710 km) – Ferry crossing to Gothenburg

Departure in the morning and drive to Kiel. Here you board the Stena Line to Gothenburg and are introduced to the maritime flair of Scandinavia. On board, a rich evening buffet including drinks awaits you while you cross the Baltic Sea and leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. Overnight on board.

Day 2 | Gothenburg – Mora (approx. 471 km)

In the morning, you reach Gothenburg, Sweden's second-largest city. Disembarkation and continue into the Swedish interior. The route initially follows the west coast and then turns northeast, passing by wooded hills, clear lakes, and small red wooden houses – typical of the Västergötland region.

Day 4 | Vilhelmina – Bodø (approx. 502 km)

Today features a particularly impressive stage. You continue northward, initially through the Swedish fjäll region. Crossing the Arctic Circle, you pass a symbolic border: you enter the Arctic.

Here begins the famous spectacular Atlantic Road, which swings over elegant bridges from island to island, giving you the feeling of flying over the Atlantic. Finally, you reach Molde, idyllically situated on the Moldefjord and known for its mild summers and views of more than 200 peaks.

Day 10 | Trollstigen – Geirangerfjord – Hornindal (approx. 195 km)

Upon reaching the Storfjord, you take the ferry from Linge to Eidsdal and continue over the Eagle Road to Geiranger. The place is spectacularly located by the fjord of the same name, one of Norway's most famous fjords.
