Itinerary
You're in for a whole lot of hygge when you hit the colourful, character-filled streets of Copenhagen, kick-starting your journey across Scandinavia. This cool capital manages to mix fairy tale with function as you'll come to discover. Spend your day soaking up the atmosphere in 17th-century Nyhavn or rubbing shoulders with the fun-loving locals in Tivoli Gardens, Europe's second oldest amusement park. Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers for dinner at your hotel. (D) Stay: Scandic Sydhavnen
Discover why Copenhagen earns its status as one of the world's most liveable cities – a place where work and play are perfectly balanced. Your Local Guide will take you on a sightseeing tour to the heart of the city, through lively streets, squares and along canals, revealing many of the city's highlights, from Christiansborg Palace to Nyhavn.
Snap a selfie with Copenhagen's demure Little Mermaid then spend the rest of the day exploring Copenhagen your way or join a Choice Experience to the Danish Riviera past ancient fishing villages to the 17th-century Frederiksborg Castle. This evening, join a Choice Experience visit to the village of Dragør with its tiny thatched cottages. (B)
The next leg of your journey is filled with eye-catching landscapes that demand to be captured on camera. Your scenic drive from Denmark to Norway will see you cross the Øresund by ferry, then skirt the Swedish coastline north past glittering blue bays and lush pine and spruce forests.
Stop in Gothenburg before continuing your journey to Oslo, the Norwegian capital. Norway wears its pioneering past with subtlety. This city could claim great Viking victories. Instead, you'll encounter a modest, waterfront Oslo, where contemporary meets comfortable and the Norwegian philosophy of friluftsliv is palpable in its lush parks, flower-lined boulevards and bustling waterways. (B) Stay: Thon Oslofjord
Your Local Guide will reveal all the highlights of Oslo this morning, including the medieval Akershus fortress, the City Hall and the Royal Palace.

Witness Mother Nature's magic touch on Norway as you wind your way through spectacular mountains and past Hardangerfjord, the 'Queen of the Fjords', to Bergen. The city's Hanseatic heritage is only second to the spectacular natural landscape that surrounds this enchanting coastal city, which is famously fringed by seven hills and seven fjords. The former capital of Norway has been a trading centre since the 13th century as you will come to discover on your orientation tour of the city's highlights, including the fish market and the 13th-century Haakon's Hall, a former Royal residence.
Consider joining a Choice Experience to visit the villa of famed composer Edvard Grieg, where he found inspiration for his masterpieces, or explore Sandviken and Gamle Bergen with a Local Guide to admire medieval-style buildings before enjoying breath-taking views of Bergen from the funicular railway. (B) Stay: Moxy Bergen
Nowhere is Norway's seafaring heritage more apparent than in Bergen, which was once the cod capital of the world and a lively port for traders seeking to spread its salty delights across Europe. You'll have some time to explore the harbour and the colourful wooden warehouses of UNESCO-listed Bryggen, the centre of Bergen's Hanseatic trade for centuries. Consider joining a Choice Experience to delve into Norway's World War II history during a visit to the lost village of Telavåg, whose ties to the resistance saw it destroyed by German forces or spend the evening venturing to another corner to Paradis. (B)
Norway's fjord country takes centre stage today as you head to the 'King of the Fjords', Sognefjord. You'll have a scenic drive before arriving at the world's longest and deepest fjord. You'll have a rare opportunity as part of a Choice Experience to journey on the world-famous Flåm Railway. After, for nature lovers, there's a Choice Experience to board a cruise on the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, whose stunning landscape has inspired painters for centuries. Tonight, join your travel companions for dinner at your hotel. (B/D) Stay: Lærdal

Travel through Norway's lush forest landscapes, through the cottage countryside of Sweden bound for Lake Vänern, to visit Karlstad, surrounded by forests, fields and lakes.

View the 13th-century castle on the banks of the Svartån River during your orientation. (B) Stay: Scandic Örebro Vast
Continue to stylish Stockholm (Solna), which locals refer to as 'beauty on water'. The beautiful blue jostles for your attention amidst lush green parks and a modern city where style and substance coexist effortlessly. Get your bearings and explore Stockholm (Solna) your way. (B) Stay: Comfort Solna
Let this elegant city capture your heart as you explore this morning with a Local Guide. View the medieval Storkyrkan, the Swedish Parliament and the Royal Palace. A Choice Experience could see you visit Stockholm's City Hall and delve into the story of the Vasa, a 17th-century warship that sank on her maiden voyage.
In the afternoon, get your cameras ready for a 'pano' worthy of framing when you head to Södermalm on a Choice Experience which includes a visit to the world's first Ice Bar. Say skål in glasses made of pure river ice, then join your fellow travellers later for dinner to celebrate the end of your Scandinavian adventure. (B/D)
Your epic journey worthy of a Viking voyage has sadly come to an end. Say a fond farväl to new friends and close the curtain on a holiday filled with Scandinavian style, the majesty of Mother Nature and a whole lot of lek as you prepare to return home. (B)

Now we also experienced a very hot summer (which was very rare according to locals) but wish some of the hotels had fans or vented cooling. Other than that, the hotels in Copenhagen, Bergen & Stockholm were great! Thanks again Costsaver for a great experience!
To top off the experience, the travel director lived up to his name. He was approachable and passionate about his work. This was read more evident in how he handled various situations. His very clear instructions and directions provided one with a sense of security. Camaraderie was generated among fellow travellers where friendship could be built for life.
Likewise, the Global Journeys Travel Advisor was most efficient, prompt and assuring in handling one's online booking. Excellent service!!
Accommodation venues selected were great and appropriate. Those selected out of cities had lovely lakeside sceneries, walkways and with dinners provided. Those selected in the cities were of close proximity to eateries and supermarkets. These choices have a true indication of travellers needs in mind and is commendable.
The travel period chosen was a good time of the year to travel as facilities were open and the weather was milder. Optionals provided were varied and clearly highlighted but with no pressure to join from travel director.
With this experience, I have no hesitation to travel and book online with this operator.
Exceptional Tour Guide on Tour, we certainly had the best. Choosing Optional Tours suited me better and I chose to have my own time "doing read more my own thing" and also good to not be always be with a group of people.
There were 45 people, from various countries and culture on the coach. The coach was relatively new with amble leg space and with two exit doors, no problem with exiting quickly. The coach driver was excellent and the coach the next day always immaculate.
I highly recommend this tour with Costsaver as an excellent way to see Scandinavia, especially if you have the great sunny weather we had!
By the time you finish your touring all day, you get to your hotel, have dinner, and crash. Then leave the next morning! So it doesn't even matter where the hotel is located because you're only there for such a short time. And when you do stay in an area for a couple of days, the tour bus drops you in the city for the whole day to explore, so no need to worry about transportation to the main central locations. Also great buffet breakfasts every single morning. You will not starve! Some seats on the coach were squishier than others. Seat rotation meant everyone had their fair share of good and bad seats.
