An Up Norway trip specialist will first e-meet with travelers following a digital questionnaire to determine travel dates and the traveler’s interests and goals for the trip. Following this meeting, Up Norway will craft the traveler’s dream trip, incorporating the traveler’s interests and priorities into the itinerary.

 

Some of the highlights of these mystery travel trips include staying in treetop cabins in Finnskogen Forest, whale watching on the seas and skiing the Sunnmore Alps. The trip can also include food experiences, where guests will enjoy some of Norway’s best dishes and ingredients, like the country’s ripe berries and delicious Hardranger Sider.

Up Norway also incorporates the culture of the native Sami into many of its itineraries. From hiking and packrafting from Kautokeino through Reisa National Park on the Arctic trail to visiting a reindeer sanctuary, Up Norway creates custom experiences for each traveler.

 

Accommodations include log cabins, lakeside yurts, tent igloos, renovated lighthouses and boutique hotels. Up Norway aims to provide guests with cozy experiences in locations not typically expected. Partnering with native Norwegians, Up Norway sees locals host guests at some of these unique locations to further show off Norway’s vibrant culture.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United Airlines is in the midst of a major initiative to modernize its fleet over the next several years. After first announcing the plan in 2021, planes fitted with United’s signature interior are finally beginning to appear across the airline’s narrowbody fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
