The Scandinavian country of Norway has a long coastline along the North Atlantic Ocean, with numerous fjords, islands and coastal features. Sea trade, as for the other countries here, has always been an important aspect of the economy and daily life. Therefore, many small towns and major port cities face the Atlantic Ocean, making it ideal to visit them by ship. Norway is known for its beautiful natural landscapes, including fjords, mountains, waterfalls, glaciers and northern lights. It is also home to the rich heritage and history of the Vikings, who left an important mark on European history.

The Arctic, which includes Iceland, the Svalbard Archipelago (Spitsbergen!) and Greenland, has a frigid climate, with long, harsh winters and relatively short, cool summers.
