Good to know
Halal food guaranteed
Every meal in the programme is 100% halal. We work with certified halal kitchens in Oslo, Bergen and Tromsø, and in remote areas we carry pre-prepared halal meals or arrange fresh seafood and vegetarian alternatives. Dietary allergies are noted at the time of booking.
Prayer times & qibla
The daily schedule is built around prayer times. Stops are planned to allow comfortable prayer breaks, your guide carries the day’s prayer timetable for the city you are in and will point out the qibla direction. Clean prayer mats are kept on board the vehicle, and we time arrivals at hotels or nearby mosques around the main prayers. Because Norwegian summer days are extremely long, your guide briefs you before departure on how prayer timings work at these northern latitudes.
