Presented by

GLP Worldwide for University of Toronto Alumni and Friends

Dear Alumni & Friends

Join us on an adventure through the Fjords of Norway.

Named “the world’s most beautiful voyage” by Lonely Planet, this classic roundtrip program from Bergen to Bergen exposes more than 2,400 kilometres of Norway’s stunning coastline, crossing into the Arctic Circle. Cruise past majestic mountains and breathtaking fjords, explore remote but welcoming towns, embark on once-in-a-lifetime excursions, and savour fresh local food.

Of the 34 ports of call throughout this journey, 22 of them lie north of the Polar Circle. Join excursions tailor-made to match your exploration level. Whatever ports you miss on the northbound sailing during the night, you are able to see in daylight on the southbound sailing.

Visit cities like Bergen, Ålesund and Trondheim, before we cross the Polar Circle and sail into Tromsø. Southbound, you see Lofoten and Trollfjorden in broad daylight, before we cruise along the Helgeland coast, passing the Seven Sisters Mountains. Admire the stunning west coast on our way to Bergen.

For more information or to make your reservation, please contact GLP Worldwide at 1.866.760.1987 or alumni@glpworldwide.com.

Sincerely,

Daphne Tao Manager, Alumni Travel
