1 Arrive Oslo, Norway
Perhaps drawing inspiration from its apricot sunsets or the painterly, island-strewn fjord on which it sits, the Norwegian capital has a creative bent, epitomized in the new National Museum, replete with art and design objects, while Munchmuseet stands as a temple to the prolific artist who gave the world The Scream. Art is not Oslo’s only specialty: Scandi-chic coffee shops and boutiques line the streets of Grunerlokka, while floating saunas bob among the fishing boats in the harbor.
Return to Svolvaer for a cruise through the stunning cliffs of Trollfjord. Keep watch for sea eagles as your expert guides share insights about the region’s unique geology and wildlife, then pay a lunchtime visit to the quaint island enclave of Skrova. Later, take a deep dive into the fascinating world of caviar, learning how flavors from the sea produce an array of unique tastes and making your own caviar blend, which you take home with you. Then, sit down to a gourmet dinner celebrating the flavors of Lofoten.
Explore Henningsvaer with your choice of these three Design Your Day options:
In Svolvaer, get the scoop on the world’s next big sustainable superfood — seaweed. Later, delve into the history of the longhouse at the Lofotr Viking Museum. Then, cap the night off with a festive Viking-style feast.
Set out on a day trip to Kjerknesvagen, a historic harbor town fronting the Inderoya Peninsula’s scenic northwestern shoreline. Begin with a history walk that brings the traditions, landmarks and folklore of this picturesque area to life. Next, visit an artisanal cheesemaker for a tasting of the region’s finest. Continue to Nils Aas Art, a local gallery and workshop honoring the legacy of one of Norway’s most iconic sculptors. Back in Trondheim this evening, explore on your own, dipping in and out of drinking spots or trying out one of the city’s chic restaurants.
After breakfast, take your private transfer to the airport to board your departing flight.
