Creator's Key Takeaways

Getting up at 5:00 a.m. to watch Arvia sail into Olden was one of the highlights of our entire holiday.

Traveling with older kids and teenagers can sometimes be tricky because everyone enjoys different things, but Norway really did have something for all of us.

Instead of changing hotels every couple of days, your hotel comes with you. You unpack once, you can settle into your cabin, and then you can wake up in a completely different destination.

I honestly didn't expect to say that before this trip, but the scenery, the atmosphere, and how relaxing the whole holiday felt completely won us over.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't make the mistake of sleeping through the sailings; they are part of the holiday.
Mix organized excursions with exploring independently to save money and see ports at your own pace.
Watch the sail-ins early in the morning for the best views.
