Train from SJ on Dovre

Slow travel train tours use Norway's railways for extended journeys that treat travel time as valuable rather than something to minimize.

These tours take a week or more to move gradually through regions, combining rail lines with fjord connections and time built in for experiencing places rather than rushing through them.

What makes train tours slow travel

Standard train tours might cover a route in one journey. Slow travel versions add extra stops, more days in regions, or detours to places most itineraries skip. You're using the same railways but traveling at a different pace.

The approach matches how Norway actually is — distances are significant, and transitions between regions reveal as much as destinations. Slow travel by train means accepting journey time as part of the experience rather than obstacle to overcome.

Experience the luxury of slowing down

In a world obsessed with FOMO, our Slow travel tours embrace JOMO – the Joy Of Missing Out. These journeys are all about those magical moments that happen between destinations.

How slow travel train tours work

These tours combine Norway's scenic railways with ferry connections and extended stays. Routes typically include major rail lines with overnight stops in regions worth more time, railway segments that allow for exploration, and ferry routes timed for more than just transit.

The self-guided format means you follow a planned itinerary with confirmed train reservations and pre-booked hotels, but with built-in flexibility. The schedule allows time to adapt to conditions or spend extra time at places worth lingering.

Duration and what's included

Slow travel train tours typically run a week or longer. This allows coverage of major railway routes without compressed schedules.

Tours include reserved train seats, ferry bookings, and hotels near stations. The difference from shorter train tours is pacing: more nights in fewer places, more time in regions, fewer rushed departures.
