  1. Day 1

    Amsterdam, Netherlands

    Amsterdam pairs world-class museums with the everyday pleasure of canal-side life. Its Golden Age houses, narrow waterways and lively markets make the city rewarding well beyond its famous sights. Visit the Rijksmuseum for Dutch masters, then explore the canal belt on foot or by boat. Leave time for a neighbourhood café: in Amsterdam, the best discoveries often come between the landmarks.

  2. Day 3

    Oslo, Norway

    Oslo rewards curious travellers with a rare balance of grand history, modern design and easy access to nature. From the harbour, walk to City Hall, the Nobel Peace Center and Akershus Fortress, whose ramparts overlook the fjord. Across the water, Bygdøy gathers standout museums, including the Fram Museum and Norwegian Folk Museum. Save time for the Opera House, where a public roof offers a striking view over the city and Oslofjord.

  3. Day 4

    Kristiansand, Norway

    Kristiansand is southern Norway at an easy pace, with a handsome harbour and a compact centre made for walking. Founded in 1641 by King Christian IV, Kristiansand’s grid still shapes Kvadraturen, its compact central district. Posebyen’s quiet lanes are lined with white wooden houses, part of one of northern Europe’s largest collections. Follow the waterfront to Fiskebrygga, where fish counters and restaurants make an easy lunch stop. Kilden, the city’s waterfront concert hall, adds a bold modern note.

    Sandnes (Ask Travel Agent)

  5. Day 6

    Skjolden, Norway

    Skjolden sits at the head of the Lustrafjord, a quiet arm of Norway’s vast Sognefjord. Steep mountains rise above the water, while waterfalls thread down toward the village. Beyond the quay, roads lead into Jotunheimen National Park, where trails cross glacier-fed landscapes. Across the fjord, Urnes Stave Church is among Norway’s oldest and belongs to a UNESCO World Heritage site.

  6. Day 8

    Rotterdam, Netherlands

    Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port, but its appeal extends well beyond the quays. Bold architecture rises beside the Maas, while the city’s maritime past remains close at hand. Cross the Erasmus Bridge for skyline views, explore the striking Markthal, or take a harbour cruise among working vessels. Rotterdam rewards curious visitors with modern design, excellent food, and a Dutch city that refuses to stand still.
