Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Norway takes roughly 26 hours with a stopover. You might be a bit tired off the other end but that won't matter when you see those incredible fjords.
/
Fjords, firelight and full-body goosebumps
Norway is the ultimate playground for nature lovers, where majestic fjords slice through wild landscapes and the midnight sun keeps the adventure going long after dark.
Cruise through breathtaking waterways, hike to jaw-dropping spots like Trolltunga, or chase the northern lights across an Arctic sky. The landscapes are nothing short of spectacular – but Norway isn’t all about the great outdoors.
In Oslo and Bergen, you’ll uncover Viking heritage, colourful harbours, and a buzzing scene of modern art, culture and Nordic cuisine. Whether you’re dog-sledding through snowy tundra, soaking in a fjord-side sauna, or getting lost for hours in a fascinating museum – Norway is pure magic.
Let’s start planning your Nordic escape – chat to our Europe travel specialists today.
Best time to go
Norway is stunning year-round, but summer offers long days and mild weather. Winter dazzles with the northern lights, while spring and autumn reveal a quieter, more authentic Norway.
Time difference
Norway is 10–12 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving in both countries. It might take you a couple of days to know which way is up.

My passion for travel begun when living in London. I was constantly booking getaways to explore all UK and Europe have to offer and I have not stopped exploring since!
Coming home, I have been privileged to take many long breaks to explore different parts of the world. - Some highlights include USA and Tahiti.
Now having a family, I see travel in different light and really enjoy slowing down and embracing every moment.
Travel is for everyone; the world has so much to offer!
I joined the travel industry just over 6 years ago and have helped many people book their dream holidays, I can't wait to help you with yours!

Travel has always been more than just getting from A to B for me. I love helping clients create holidays that truly suit them, from relaxing escapes, a seamless getaway or a one-in-a-lifetime adventure. Known for being organised, responsive and honest, I enjoy sharing practical travel knowledge that takes the stress out of planning and leaves clients excited for what's ahead.

With nearly two decades at House of Travel, I’m always dreaming of the next adventure. The more I explore, the longer my bucket list grows! The thrill of planning a new journey and learning from each experience excites me.
Discussing travel daily is my passion, I love helping clients realize their travel dreams and living vicariously through their experiences.
Getting to know my clients and understanding what matters most to them is something I truly enjoy. This insight allows me to craft itineraries that are as unique and special as the travelers themselves.
There's nothing more satisfying than a client returning with tales of their adventures. I love hearing their stories, as each journey is different—there's no one-size-fits-all approach to travel.
For me, travel offers the opportunity to learn more about the world around us. With every journey, I find new perspectives, cultures, and places to love.
Travel isn’t just about the places we visit—it's about the growth we experience along the way.

Bula, Bonjour, Talofa, Konnichiwa – and welcome!
From the moment I could dream, I dreamed of travel. At just 17, I set out on
that path by diving into my first travel course, and I’ve never looked back.
For the first decade, I poured my heart into everything South Pacific – those
sparkling waters, warm smiles, and sun-soaked cultures became my world.
Now, my map has expanded far beyond the Pacific, and I’m proud to say I sell
the entire world. And what a breathtakingly vast world it is! Over the past 30
years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to explore some of its most magical
corners – Samoa, Bali, Vietnam, Hawaii, Italy, and Switzerland are just a few
of the places that have left footprints on my soul.
But this journey isn't just about me. It’s about you – your dreams, your adventures, your once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m here to ignite your excitement, guide your decisions, and help piece together your perfect travel jigsaw. Whether you’re hopping over to Australia, meandering through the Scottish Highlands in a small group, or gliding past alpine peaks on a Swiss rail tour – I’ll be right beside you, making it all seamless.
There’s nothing quite like nabbing that dream tour, then weaving in the best
flights, stopovers, and secret gems to create an itinerary that’s more than a
trip – it’s an experience. Over the years, I’ve learned something simple but
powerful: every place is unique, kindness connects us all, and life’s most
precious souvenirs are the memories we make.
So let’s start building yours.
