Norway is a land steeped in myth, where irascible gods armed with frost and lightning once inspired Viking clans to plunder foreign lands. These days, genteel customs imported from mainland Europe have softened the country’s hard edges, but traces of an unruly past still abound. The exceptional museums dotting the Bygdøy Peninsula hold some of the city’s foremost attractions, including a thousand-year-old longship that was preserved in mud and the 12th-century Gol Stave Church, an exemplar of Norway’s distinctive wood sanctuaries. No less fascinating is a visit to the 1892 Fram, a legendary ship revered for her vital role in early polar explorations. To witness the evolution of Oslo’s soul, contrast battle-hardened Akershus Fortress, a ruggedly elegant citadel wrapped in nearly impregnable ramparts, with the neoclassical Royal Palace, whose formal exterior encloses sumptuously appointed rooms. You might wish to view Edvard Munch’s iconic The Scream, which hangs in the outstanding Norwegian National Gallery amid priceless European and Scandinavian masterworks. In expansive Frogner Park, wander among Gustav Vigeland’s thought-provoking sculptures, and if you’ve worked up an appetite, choose among the many restaurants and cafés lining the charming waterfront district of Aker Brygge.

As you sail from Oslo, Norway, discover engaging Northern Europe, calling on sheltered island gems and remote seaside towns, including Lysekil, sitting pretty on Sweden’s Bohuslän Coast, where the mouth of Gullmarsfjorden faces the open sea, and Faaborg, located on Denmark’s island of Funen, steeped in history and charm. Experience a pastoral transit through the Kiel Canal. Discover Scheveningen, Netherlands, a resort nestled in sandy dunes, boasting wide sandy beaches and beautiful seascapes. It is your gateway to The Hague, home of the United Nations and notable monuments including its Gothic-style Binnenhof, seat of the Dutch Parliament, and Noordeinde Palace. As you pass through the Dover Strait, on a clear day the White Cliffs of Dover and landscape of Calais, France come into view. Uncover the Channel Island of Guernsey, which has long attracted artists such as Auguste Renoir to its welcoming shores. In its capital of St. Peter Port, wander through commanding Castle Cornet, a 13th-century marvel of military engineering that sits on a rocky headland jutting out at sea. Conclude your journey with two consecutive overnight stays in Bordeaux, France’s celebrated wine country, where you disembark.
