Scandinavian culture blends cosy rituals like hygge and fika, stylish living, and a deep love of nature. Embrace it all on this week-long getaway to some of the world’s happiest places. Spend a morning cruising the glassy waters of Oslofjord, watching forested shores and little islets drift by from out on deck, before a day in Norway’s capital.
Next is Copenhagen, perfect for exploring on two wheels along its bike-friendly streets, while its food halls and tucked-away breweries tempt you with traditional smørrebrød open sandwiches and craft beers. In Gothenburg, Balmoral’s smaller size allows docking close to the centre, making it easy to wander canal districts, linger over coffee and pastries, or join a boat trip through the city’s island-speckled archipelago.
