We continue north into the Finnish countryside this morning, with a vast area of dense forest and charming lakes. Be the first to spot a reindeer! They tend to hide for most of the time, but occasionally appear in small groups. You will soon get used to this elusive creature, which has helped in the development of this great country of traditions, both physically as a working animal, and also as a local delicacy. We pause for lunch in the town of Oulu on the Gulf of Bothnia, which separates Finland from Sweden. From Oulu we travel on north to the town of Rovaniemi, just below the Arctic Circle, for an overnight stay.

Includes Breakfast

Includes Dinner

Although it is summer in Finnish Lapland be prepared to share the customs of a country where Santa Claus is “King”. We start with a visit to the imposing Santa Claus Village just outside Rovaniemi, where you can stand on either side of the Arctic Circle. Look out for the white line painted on the ground denoting the latitude! After lunch we continue north through charming forested countryside to Saariselka for an overnight stay.

Includes Breakfast

Includes Dinner

A day to remember today as we travel onwards to the true “Land of the Midnight Sun” and our base for two nights. We stay in the fishing town of Honningsvag, just 28 miles south of the North Cape at the very top of Europe. En route we pause at the Sami Village in Karasjok and learn about the lifestyle of the Sami people who have lived in the Nordkalotten area for centuries. This proud race are some 50,000 in number all living in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia with their own culture, language and history.

Whilst there why not enjoy an optional Storgammon lunch. This really is an experience not to be missed. Step back in time and Sami culture and enjoy a typical Lappish meal. This delightful meal will be served in a Lavvu, the traditional summer home of the Sami people, which is very similar to the Native American tepee. A truly unique place to eat!

After experiencing the Sami way of life we continue our journey to Honningsvag for a two-night stay. This evening is the highlight of the tour as your drivers take you to the magnificent North Cape. The viewpoint is at latitude of 71 degrees 10 minutes 21 seconds north and you will be as close as you can get to the top of the world whilst remaining in mainland Europe. This really is an invigorating spot to be! We will leave late evening so that you will be at the Cape at midnight, so don’t forget your sunglasses! (Please ensure you take some warm clothing. Although we visit during the summer months, it can be chilly). The lure of the North Cape has drawn people from all parts of the world for centuries. The first tourist to visit was the Italian Francesco Negri, who stood here and surveyed the landscape in 1664. A lot has changed since that time and the magnificent 5000 square metre North Cape Hall is a vast complex offering every amenity from café facilities to a large souvenir area. We return to our hotel in the early hours of the morning.

Firstly to Skarsvag, the northernmost fishing village in the world where you will visit the Nordkapp Jul og Vinterhuis which is decorated in the Norwegian Christmas tradition and local crafts are for sale from the North cape area. We then continue to Kamoyvaer, the smallest of the fishing villages with only 110 inhabitants, a fish factory, a small fishing fleet, a little lighthouse and a picturesque harbour. See, also, probably Europe’s smallest school with six pupils and one teacher!

This morning we leave our hotel and begin our journey south.

There will be free time for you to obtain lunch before we continue to our hotel in the Storslett/Sorkjosen area for an overnight stay.

Today we re-join our Leger coach and follow the shores of the Lyngenfjord and cross the Karfjord and Ullsfjorden to Tromso, the capital of northern Norway and gateway to the Arctic. At a latitude of 70 degrees it is the same as Alaska and Siberia. After a short visit we travel south across the area of Troms, passing Fossbakken to reach the lovely town of Narvik and our hotel for tonight. The town is beautifully located on a peninsula between the Beisfjord and the Rombakfjord at the foot of the spectacular Fagernes Mountain.

Includes Breakfast

Included Highlights

Tromsø

Never far from the Swedish border or the sea, we travel south, and through the area of Nordland, crossing the Arctic Circle to arrive at Mo i Rana or Mosjoen for the night.

Includes Breakfast

Includes Dinner

Alongside lakes and fjords we maintain our journey south to the city of Trondheim, which holds a special place in Norwegian history and culture. It was the first capital of Norway and is still the city where new kings receive their ceremonial blessing.

Why not join our optional guided sightseeing tour to learn more about this charming spot and enjoy the view from the Tyholt Tower – truly breathtaking! Situated by the Trondheim fjord, Trondheim is surrounded by lovely forested hills, with the River Nidelva winding through the town. It has been and still is a popular pilgrimage site, an ecclesiastical centre a regional capital and a centre for commerce and administration. Our local guide will reveal the highlights on this sightseeing tour.

We then continue to the village quaintly named Hell and our base for tonight. The small village has become a tourist attraction because of its name and people like to have their photograph taken in front of the station sign. What was possibly Norway’s most popular postcard, at least amongst English speaking tourists, showed the station with a heavy frost on the ground – Hell frozen over, although there was no caption to make the point. In actual fact the name Hell derives from an Old Norse word meaning overhang or cliff cave!

While the holiday is good and enjoyable, would recommend the tour. The quality of one of the drivers was questionable ( Contacted Leger direct re the issues)

Wendy James, 1 year ago

Fabulous holiday, my hotel rooms were very good, the meals I had were acceptable and the itinerary was perfect, some long days on the coach travelling, I went on the luxuria coach but you do not have this coach for three days in your holiday those are run by local coaches, the two drivers got us to our destinations without to much difficulty. My highlights were north cape, Sami village, Hell, Santa clause village, enjoyed the experience, did all the optional excursions but a couple were a bit of a let down not worth doing but this was my opinion.

It took long days to reach the top of Norway through endless forests in Finland. The views & travel in Norway were unforgettable. Nordic the local tour company that Leger used made some errors. Firstly our optional 'Storgammon lunch' described as an experience of salmon & 'delicious' reindeer stew, turned out to be soup, slice of bread, tea/coffee, & pudding. We checked that we had the correct meal - 2 courses when it should have been 3. Leger was contacted by driver & we were compensated with 20 euros. Some complained to me (why me?) that was not enough. Nordic also changed our hotel by email, I didn't read mine till I returned home. Our driver told us that hotel in Honningsvag had been changed to the 'Olympic Village' (Scandic Nordcap). Leger compensated us with free optional trip (for which we received our 68 euros back) to the fishing villages. I think Nordic were overcharging for that tour. Our local guide did take us to Honningsvag for a looksee. Leger do look after its customers, as I have found out on my pervious 23 trips. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Delays at Stop 24 on return due late arrival of coaches, has put many first-timers off (over 3 hour wait). I tell some I have met, that's unfortunate but that's travel for you, & they should at least try again. Off again to Hanover in 9 days. 3 more this year & 5 Luxuria booked for next year. Best coach company I've travelled with since Wallace Arnold.

MR R SODEN, 1 year ago

We didn't realise how much driving would be involved on the trip which meant that at any stop there was no time see anything. But saying that we thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the drivers were fantastic as was the organisation. One or two of the hotel set dinners were not so good and very basic but overall the food was fine. The object of the tour was to go to the Arctic Circle see the midnight sun and it is a long way to the top of Norway, we were told 5000 miles round trip. Not sure we would do it again as we would have preferred a bit more time at each stop, but that is just our preference, nothing wrong with the tour.

Brilliant tour! The best one I've done with Leger, the guides Marc & Kevin were very patient, knowledgeable and kind. Plenty of photo stops along the way, Brilliant choice of hotels, amazing meals - could not really find anything wrong with this experience. Would definitely recommend.
