Lofoten Norway

Home to breathtaking jagged peaks and a temperate summer climate, the civilization of Norway's Lofoten Islands dates back to the early Viking Age. The island's magnificent Uttakleiv beach is stunning all year round, but on a sunny summer day, it is definitely the place for locals to catch some rays. The town itself is filled with charming wooden houses and a pleasant ambiance. For more information: VIKING OCEAN CRUISES
