Thank you for this video! I booked an 11 day cruise this december and your video definitely HYPED ME UP for the trip!

Very informative video! Thank you!!! Just a quick question. We are interested in doing a trip from Tromso to Lofoten or Senja? Do you think we can do a day trip without having to book a room overnight? Thanks

Beautiful ❤

Thank you! this is a great video <3

Sir, you prenaunce the Norwegian place names very well !

Thank you for such great information - this is now on my bucket list of cruises! (And it was great seeing Captain Hudson.)

What is the microphone you use at 0:50 called?

Would love to live there. Just subscribed. Hope to be there someday when a pensioners visa becomes available.

What are the chances for a dual US and EU citizen to move there? Norway is my fav country because I’m outdoorsy.

Northern lights seen

This video was so well presented!!! Thank you for taking us with you. Our trip was in May, so we didn't see the Northern lights, but did see the Midnight Sun. 🌍🤓

This is a great, really informative video! I was recently looking into this exact cruise so it was a cool coincidence that you popped on my recommendations. 👍😍

What a captivating moment of the Northbound portion of our recent voyage. Your account of the experiences, the scenery, the shipboard elegance and ease and OMG the food will remain part of our collection of memories. Hope that one day you'll experience the southbound voyage and document that for us as well! Safe travels. 😍

I am a US citizen and an Italian citizen. So I ama citizen of the EU. Would that help with a Shengen countey like Norway? My kids have dual citizenship too...I just hope that there are job openings for foreign nurses...

As a dark Asian American man, would I stand out too much in Norway?

Appreciate your your clear and beautiful video wonderful Trosmo city thank for your explore.

Nice place❤❤❤❤

I expect a video for people who live in Norway :) We need some tips to be able to survive with these prices! Anyways, thanks for video

Yes November 19 2024

Sounds fun!

Oh.. thats cruise ship not a icebreaker...

Isn’t your government moving towards the far right? I have thought about moving to Norway, but if it’s just going to be one more domino that is going to fall in the realm of modern European right wing fascism, I’m not sure if it’s worth all of the time and investment. If you could be so kind to expand on this, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

DONT TEMPT ME FRODO

Thank you for this visit to Kristiansand! I was fortunate enough to spend several days there about 20 years ago. I very much regret not doing whatever was necessary to retire there! Oh well, I was just another stupid American not appreciating what was in front of his eyes!

Winter Wonderland !

Thanks for all the informations! Been binge watching your Norway videos, loved how cool your voice is, very pleasant to hear.

Is this place good for photography? Looking into it.

so beautiful

Nice video, Norway is a very very nice country! if taxes are your worry try Switzerland also a brilliant country where you can negotiate your taxes , provided your good for 10 milj plus USD........but anyway the taxlevel givesyou all you need healthcare education no poverty etc so reconsider!

Hoping I'm not going to need this video. Part of me is tempted to give up and move, but I love my home state of Massachusetts, so I'm going to stay and fight.

Thanks for the video. We are moving to Spain because my wife can get EU citizenship in 2 years there. That being said, Norway is a place I could see myself living at least part-time in the long-run once we have our EU passport. We will always be thankful and pay our taxes to Spain for giving us an out from the US, but I can say that I do plan on bringing my income and taxes to a country that is thankful for, and spends my taxes for the better of all. Im tired of spending $100k a year in taxes and seeing no benefits from my money. I LOVE the fact that in most of Europe (Norway included of course) you can see a benefit from your taxes. You can see a return from uour investment, and that is amazing. Im tired of my money not helping people through healthcare and infrastructure, rather going to bomb children in “3rd world” countries. Trump has hastened my exit, and for that I can say I’m thankful I guess? Lol

Do you get many geordies coming across? Haway the toon, thats champion 😂

🥶 ❄️🧊

What if you are retiring? What are the qualifications to move there in that case?

Thank you for the realy,realy fanatastic video ! Norway is marvellous !!! Lovely greets from Austria

Do you have one of these videos for an about-to-turn-50 years old Australian/UK citizen moving to Norway?

Thanks. First Norway relocation video! Off the top of your head is there a route for a single retired American to move to Norway? Over 65. Annual retirement income (Social security and small work pension) of about $60,000 and net worth in high 6 figures in US dollars.

My family immigrated to the US from Norway and Sweden in the early 1900's. In the late 1990's, I was lucky enough to spend time in the Trondheim and Stavanger areas. Spending time with family over the Christmas leave. During this time I was able to do family research and expand upon the family tree, at the immigration archives in Stavanger. Granted joining the US Marines and doing winter exercises above the Artic Circle isn't for everyone either. The Auroras were something else. Thank you for your weekly newsletter, I have enjoyed your travels

The wife and I took this very Svalbard Express cruise this last Aug/Sept. First, be aware that our cruise missed Traena and Reine due to weather conditions. Other ports were substituted for these. Second, any of the excursions you take can exhaust most of the time you'd otherwise have in port to explore the port itself. We took a RIB boat out of Longyearbyen to see birds and scenery. Mostly we got pounded to pieces as the boat was rocked as it transited through continuous waves and then saw only a very few birds. I do not recommend this excursion as it was unpleasant and caused us to miss most of Longyearbyen. We did go by the Russian settlement at Barentsburg on our way into Longyearbyen. Don't expect to see any polar bears at Svalbard; they are few and far between given the time in port, and aren't welcome by locals anyway given their deadly nature. Excursions out Andalsnes on a train and alternatively on a bus up to the inland plateau were each canceled due to a landslide on the road and difficulties with the train. An excursion out of Alesund took us by Geirangerfjord which was nice. But that same excursion eliminated time for seeing Alesund itself which was disappointing. Finally, though breakfast is generally available from 7:30 to 9:30, on the day of returning to Bergen, the boat mandates that passengers be out of their cabins by 8 am, which I don't recall being announced at the time of purchase and which is, to my way of thinking, really early given all the packing that has to be done to achieve the mandated cabin exit. You can store your baggage near the ship gangway while doing your final breakfast. But geez, requiring such an early cabin departure is a bit beyond the pale for a trip where risings are generally far later and without the immediate packing.

Beautiful City ❤fresh air 🎉and great environment ❤a lot of respect🙏Thank you Oslo🙏🇳🇴

Scandinavia is built on a foundation of mutual support, where citizens and businesses contribute to the common good through taxes and respect for shared values. For those considering moving here, it's important to recognize that our society isn’t a fit for extreme religious ideologies or a mindset focused solely on personal profit. We seek individuals who believe in contributing to the well-being of the community rather than prioritizing individual gains. 😉

Dear USAnians, Norway is good for you. Do not go to Denmark, it is a poor slavelike communistic country. Norway is fine, they are practically leader of the free world. Just ask them. But don't come to Denmark, your life will become a hell. TIP: If you are good at woodwork, you can apply for a job as brain surgeon in Norway.

As an American who has worked and lived in Oslo Norway for a short period in the 90’s with a work permit, and who similarly worked in the Netherlands for nearly 5 years with both a work and residence permit, I understand this stuff pretty well. I also co-owned a startup in Amsterdam during that time. In short, a tiny fraction of Americans have a tiny fraction of a chance to live abroad in Norway or Scandinavia in general. And once you get there, however you might think you will love it, in my experience most Americans can only stand the cultural differences for a short period of time before wanting to go “home”. And frankly if you want to live and remain in Norway or most places in Europe, by far the easiest way is marrying someone. All my friends that were with me back then who remained are married. My best friend married a Dane and lives in Denmark now. Basically if you want to do this kind of move successfully all the planets have to align.

Is there a ferry to or from Bergen in the winter months? I'd LOVE to see the gorgeous fjords covered in white 🤍

Yeah no don't do that. It's cold, dark and miserable and Polar bears love juicy americans.

It is possible, but really not that easy immigrating from outside EU/EEA. A friend, sadly deceased, was married to a Canadian woman - and there was a LOT of hassle, very intricate paperwork and weird rules for her to move permanently. This also applied to him when they some years later moved to Canada. Among many other tasks, he had to prove this was not a marriage of convenience (not easy), document the validity of his seven year long "pre Bologna" Norwegian university education and pass a french language test to be able to work for public health service in Montreal. BTW: Learn some basic Norwegian. For English speakers it is not very hard, the formal languages are closely related - but the many Norwegian dialects can be harder to understand! Most Norwegian speak decent or even very good English, but the daily, working language will be Norwegian for 99 percent of the jobs.

Yeah, I don’t think 400 million EU citizens have or are pursuing an PhD. And Fulbright has tons of K-10 English teacher positions. I was going to see about a PhD entirely in Norway but have decided to do only a year exchange there. And I wouldn’t expect any US companies to be able to stay open overseas much longer, with our economy heading into the toilet since none of the Dem programs that have reduced inflation and created millions of jobs are going to be expanded.

Trump has inspired millions of US citizens to move abroad. Welcome to Norway. Free healthcare, free education, well developed public transport.

Regarding English not being a benefit. It's a half-truth. Not many jobs require English skills, but it's very useful for comunicating until you learn Norwegian.
