Destination Overview

About Norway

Just beyond bright, boisterous cities such as the seaside playland of Bergen and the chic and lively capital of Oslo, lie some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth.

Superlatives such as stunning and spectacular just don’t do justice to Norway’s monumental verticality and the sheer scale of its grandeur. Indeed, Norway might be best known for its landscapes, and, in particular, the geological features whose global name was coined in Norway: the fjords. Flanked by high, sheer mountain walls, hundreds of these deep, narrow inlets stab many miles into Norway’s rugged interior.

Thomson Experiences in Norway

Active
Whether it’s kayaking the shores of a fjord, hiking alpine meadows, or skiing the highest peaks, travelers looking for outdoor adventure would need more than a lifetime to explore all the options in Norway. And, by the way, it’s no coincidence that skiing is Norway’s national sport; the Norwegians invented skiing.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Have your pick of subjects in the land of the midnight sun and Viking kings: a picturesque fishing village that looks like a toy town at the foot of a towering mountain; perhaps a glacier sweeping through a high, jagged pass; this or countless other scenes reflected on the glassy surface of an alpine lake.
MULTI-GENERATIONAL

Traveling the world with your family is like sharing a box filled with presents. The box is the world itself and the presents are the bonds that form through the experiences we share, and the perspective, patience, understanding, and tolerance we gain from expanding our horizons and seeing how other people live. There is no greater gift.

In various destinations around the world, we have highlighted examples of exceptional accommodations that set new standards for aesthetics and responsible tourism. These properties reflect our own company values by emphasizing community involvement and the preservation of cultural heritage, protection of natural resources, and sustainability, both in practice and design.

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.
