Norway is a country of dramatic coasts, islands, fjords and mountains with the relatively benign sailing in the south becoming more challenging as one heads north across the Arctic Circle. Superb scenery, and friendly people, make this a rewarding cruising area for crews equipped and prepared to be self-contained – but the far north is not for the faint hearted. This cruising guide covers it all.

Judy Lomax added her own many years' experience of cruising Norway to enhance the detailed cruising notes compiled by other members of the Royal Cruising Club and produce this guide. It includes a comprehensive introduction to set the scene and provide a flavour of the country and how to prepare to visit it. The subsequent chapters guide the reader from the Swedish border and Oslo in the south, to the Russian border and then into the high Arctic. Details of routes and anchorages are provided in a concise and interesting manner. Location plans are given to help indicate areas of interest, maintain reader orientation and highlight the relevant charts essential for safe passage. Interwoven with the passage details are local facts, history and myths – and some stunning photographs. This book is the essential companion for sailors setting out to cruise the extensive Norwegian waters.

Updating photographs and comments are always welcome and may be published immediately as 'Continuing Updates' as well as being reviewed for the formal yearly Supplement.
