Norway




Scandinavia can be one of the most expensive regions in the world to visit, according to Kelly Brennan, a travel adviser at the New York City travel company Indagare (https://www.indagare.com/). However, Norway — a country with a bustling capital (Oslo), an unspoiled countryside and stunning fjords — is the exception. “Norway is a great choice for travelers on a limited budget who want a luxury experience, because it’s still up-and-coming in popularity,” Ms. Brennan said. She also offered some tips on how to enjoy a luxury vacation in Norway without emptying your wallet in the process. Stay at the Most Upscale Hotels The best hotels in Norway are a bargain compared with other countries in Scandinavia and other global tourist destinations. Luxury properties like the Storfjord Hotel (https://www.storfjordhotel.com/), which is the best place to stay to explore the fjords and the charming town of Alesund, have rates starting at $200 a night. “Upscale tourism is still new to Norway so travelers don’t have to break the bank to enjoy high-end accommodations,” Ms. Brennan said. Book Shared Excursions Many of Norway’s best activities are offered as small group experiences. Consider gathering a small group and booking a sailboat tour in the fjords, going dog-sledding and ice-fishing in Tromso, or enjoying a boat tour complete with a prawn buffet and cocktails in Oslo.
