Norway coastal highlights: Fjords, islands, glaciers & arctic landscapes
Explore Norway’s dramatic coastline, from Arctic islands and fjords to glaciers, lighthouses, and historic coastal towns.
Explore Norway’s spectacular coastline, where dramatic fjords meet Arctic islands, glaciers, remote lighthouses, historic fishing communities, and vibrant coastal towns. Stretching for 63,962 mi (102,937 km) and shaped by 1,190 fjords and around 50,000 islands, Norway’s coastline is one of the most remarkable in the world. If stretched out, it would circle the Earth approximately two and a half times.
The best way to experience Norway’s coastal highlights is from the sea. For centuries, Norwegians have traveled these waters by ship, connecting coastal communities and discovering some of the country’s most spectacular landscapes and landmarks. We’ve been sailing Norway’s coast since 1893, giving us a unique perspective on its iconic landscapes, maritime heritage, and cultural history.
