Discover the raw beauty of Norway’s far north on this exclusive summer–autumn private shore tour. Travel through striking fjords and the oldest mountains in Norway before reaching the tiny village of Grense Jakobselv, located on the very edge of Europe.
Here, the Arctic Ocean meets a golden sandy beach, just across a narrow river from Russia. Along the way, admire King Oscar II’s chapel from 1869, the vicar’s house, and fertile valleys that contrast with dramatic coastal scenery.
