Norway – a pure escape
Think of leaving every anxiety behind
Think of a pure escape in a land where even springs would unwind. Think of living life firmly in the meandering lane where locals still have the time to stop and chat. Think of voyages of discovery, of tiny coastal towns, local delicacies and traditional ways. Then think of setting sail on the ‘World’s most beautiful voyage’. But don’t mull it over too long: there’s still some availability for the summer. You can even save up to 20% on selected departures until 28th August.
