God was especially kind to the Scandinavians. Join Goodspeed as we explore these wonderful lands. The Norwegians are never far from the mountains or the sea with steep finger-like inlets slicing deeply into mountain valleys kissed by glaciers. Nowhere in the world is the incomparable Arctic more accessible than from Norway's northern islands. In cultured Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and Copenhagen a bounty of islands, fjords, lakes and forests lie within minutes of the city centers. Join Goodspeed as we explore the home of the Norsemen. Western Fjords defy superlatives. Danish islands are unchanged through the centuries. We’ll visit the single best herring smokehouse on the planet. From world-class cities and traditional villages set in deep valleys to high mountain glaciers, this is a land any Viking could love.
