- Follow in the footsteps of Thomas Cook’s Discovery Route.The 12-night Discovery Route for conscious travelers offers unique experiences along western Norway from Bergen to Stavanger, a route originally established in the 1880s when travelers came by horse and carriage to experience the breathtaking landscape of glaciers, mountains, roaring waterfalls, crystal clear rivers, and pristine fjords.
- The Heritage Awakened journey connects travelers with fjords, mountains, and Norway’s neverending coastline. United Airlines now offers flights from New York to Bergen, where the journey begins. Travelers will explore Bergen at their own pace then pick up a rental car on arrival in Ålesund and head straight towards Valldal. The journey continues with a scenic drive from Trollstigen to Art Nouveau City Ålesund, and a drive from fjord to coast through Norangsdalen valley.
