Your Norway luxury tour then continues with an overnight in lovely Bergen. Set out on an electric fjord cruise and arrive in Gudvangen. Here your guide will lead you on a private tour of Viking Village. Indeed, this offers an opportunity to learn about what it was really like to be a Viking and experience for yourself a Viking community.
