LUGGAGE INFORMATION
To make sure you and your fellow travellers have a comfortable journey, we need to limit the size and amount of luggage in the bus.
Each guest can bring one suitcase or large bag that can be stored in the back of the minibus and one smaller item (like a small backpack) to keep inside the van for daily essentials like camera, wallet, medications, etc.
Unfortunately carry-on suitcases (cabin bags with wheels) are too large to store in the van’s overhead racks. We request that you make arrangements to store your extra luggage in Bergen during the guided portion of the tour.
If you have any questions about luggage your Nordic Visitor travel consultant will be able to assist you.
