This presentation will focus on Norway.
As Norwegian Adventures shares: Norway – Is very diversified and scenic.
Many of our well travelled clients say it is the most beautiful country in the world.
It is thinly populated and it is beautiful everywhere.
It is ideal for outdoor activities and adventures.
Most of what the Vikings left behind is to be seen in Norway.
