Norway Rail Holidays

There is no other destination like Norway, with its remote landscapes, towering cliff faces, stunning waterfalls and remarkable Norwegian fjords. Beyond the fantastic landscapes and natural wonders, Norway is also home to some marvellous cities, such as the picturesque city of Bergen and the capital Oslo.

Norway also has several spectacular rail routes, including the Bergen Railway, where you can admire the Hardangerjøkule Glacier and the Flåm Railway, one of the world's most famous scenic rail routes. Plus, with the Nordland Railway (also known as the Polar Express) taking you through the Arctic countryside, Norwegian train journeys are the best way to experience Norway's stunning scenery.

NORTHERN LIGHTS, BERGEN & OSLO

Go on an adventure on the Polar Express, travelling 452 miles through the beautiful landscape and crossing the Arctic Circle 66 degrees north up to Bodø. Then, continue your Norway train tour north to Lofoten and go in search of the spectacular Northern Lights.

Relax in the harbour city of Bergen, surrounded by seven striking mountains. First, stroll around the town and admire the impressive 18th-century wooden houses and charming alleys. Then with an excellent selection of shops, restaurants and a buzzing fish market, grab some lunch and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings.

When in Oslo, visiting a selection of the city's many museums is a must; from the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art to the Viking Ship Museum, you will find plenty of exciting choices.

NORDLAND RAILWAY

The Nordland Railway runs from the historic Viking capital of Norway, Trondheim, to the beautiful city of Bodø in northern Norway. The railway is 729km in length, making it Norway's largest mainline railway.

It is also one of only a few railway lines in the world that cross the Arctic Circle. The railway, which is also called 'the train of the midnight sun', takes passengers through the beautifully varied scenery of northern Norway and includes views of lakes, rivers and fjords, as well as the spectacular Svartisen Glacier.

OFOTEN RAILWAY

The Ofoten Railway lies on a headland at the foot of the Fagernesfjellet, between the Beisfjord and Rornbaksfjord, and runs between the iron-ore mines at Kiruna in Swedish Lapland and the port town of Narvik on the Norwegian coast.

FLAM RAILWAY

A branch line of the Bergen Railway, the scenic Flåm Railway takes passengers on a wonderful 12.5 mile (20km) journey up one of the steepest railway lines in the world. On its journey from Flåm, located at the innermost corner of the Aurlandsfjord, the train negotiates horseshoe curves, twists, turns and 20 tunnels - 18 of which were drilled by hand.

The scenery is truly spectacular, with rivers and waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and remote farms passing by the window as you travel towards Myrdal at 2,838 feet (865m).
