The Coastal Express - South (Kirkenes - Bergen)
Start this Norway scenic route with an Arctic tour of Norway, near the Russian border. You’ll go from the dramatic landscapes of Northern Norway to views of Senja, one of Norway’s most beautiful islands. We’ll then pass through the jaw-dropping Vesterålen and Lofoten islands, and along the Helgeland Coast with its mountain ranges and maze of islands.
