Boat on the narrow Nærøyfjord between steep mountains on a Norway senior citizens tour

Why Safari Sutra?

Most Norway tours for Indian seniors are coach-heavy; we use the rail and boat routes the scenery was made for, break the fjord journey with a night in Flåm, and give you four unpacked nights on the coastal ship to the Arctic. Seats are reserved, luggage is forwarded where possible, and walking is kept short and on even ground.
