Norwegian Fjords featuring North Cape & Trondheim - Copenhagen return

Effortlessly cool and built to be livable, Copenhagen is a green, clean Scandinavian metropolis where cycling is the default mode of transport and the colourful warehouses of Nyhavn frame a pastoral waterfront. The Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, is the city's most quietly self-assured landmark. Danish smorrebrod and a constellation of Michelin-starred restaurants make Copenhagen one of Europe's most rewarding food cities.

Olden sits at the meeting point of two of Norway's most spectacular landscapes: the Nordfjord and the Jostedalsbreen glacier, mainland Europe's largest. A small village enveloped by towering peaks, it offers lake cruises into the mountains, glacier walks at Briksdalsbreen, and viewpoints that survey one of the country's most photogenic natural settings.

Leknes is part of the Lofoten islands of Norway, with pretty red houses dotted on green-covered hills and the midnight sun above the horizon from 26 May to 17 July. The town offers deep sea fishing, boat rides around the archipelago, and cycling through the hinterland. A local specialty is the skillingsbolle, a large, fluffy cinnamon roll baked fresh.

Honningsvag is the gateway to the North Cape on Mageroya Island, marked by a globe sculpture at 71 degrees north, Europe's northernmost point. The Sami indigenous people of the area herd reindeer and inhabit fishing villages where king crabs are caught from the icy waters. In winter the area offers exceptional Northern Lights viewing, while summer brings the Midnight Sun's ceaseless light.

Situated at the very tip of Norway inside the Arctic Circle, the North Cape (Nordkapp) lies about 1,306.3 miles from the North Pole, with no dry land between except for the Svalbard archipelago. Where the Atlantic and Arctic oceans meet, this is the true land of the midnight sun, with 24-hour sunlight and constant scenic views. Puffins, gannets, cormorants, seals, dolphins, and whales make this stretch of chilly water their home.

Sitting 375 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle on the inner reaches of Altafjorden, Alta distils Norway's most elemental landscapes: vast forests, open fjords, and the spectacle of white nights. Rock carvings more than 6,000 years old, recognised in 1985 as Norway's only prehistoric monument of their kind, place the town on a cultural map far beyond its Arctic latitude. The Northern Lights Cathedral and the living traditions of the indigenous Sami people complete a destination of rare depth.

Trondheim, Norway's third city, was founded by Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997. Its Nidaros Cathedral is the only Gothic cathedral in Scandinavia and the traditional site of Norwegian royal coronations. The colourful wharves of the Nidelva River, a lively student population, and an internationally regarded music conservatory make the city one of Norway's most engaging destinations.

Framed by 222 snow-coated mountain peaks, Molde enjoys a surprisingly mild climate that earns it the nickname City of Roses. Norway's jazz capital since the 1960s, the rebuilt city carries its dramatic wartime history with quiet dignity, while the famous Romsdal panorama one of Norway's most celebrated mountain views stretches across the fjord.

Vik, named by National Geographic Traveler as the world's most iconic destination, sits at the foot of the Romsdalsfjord. Stave churches, Viking heritage, and a landscape of mist-wrapped peaks and glassy fjords have earned it comparisons with Tolkien's Middle-earth.
