Product description
We spent an interesting time researching this map in Norway in 2019, travelling all the way north to Nordkapp, a trip that took a week. We were actually on a cruise ship for much of the travel time, as reflected by our new cover picture of our ship in Geiranger Fiord. We also discovered a bookstore in Narvik that sells travel maps and obtained valuable research material there.

We spent an interesting time researching this map in Norway in 2019, travelling all the way north to Nordkapp, a trip that took a week. We were actually on a cruise ship for much of the travel time, as reflected by our new cover picture of our ship in Geiranger Fiord. We also discovered a bookstore in Narvik that sells travel maps and obtained valuable research material there.
Norway, as a country, is one of the prime travel destinations in the world – lots of wide open spaces, all the mod-cons, and fantastic scenery. Obviously, Nordkapp is a huge attraction, being the most northerly part of Europe one can access, but Norway has lots of other attractions. Roads in Norway tend to be of a very good quality, but are mostly two-laned and winding.
There are coastal ferries joining isolated communities from south to north, and lots of ferries for car crossings of fiords. We took a local ferry from Alesund into the interior of Stor Fiord. It took all day to make the trip, but it was a great experience, and that’s what travel is all about! Bergen is also a very interesting city to visit. Generally, Norway ranks very high as a safe and pleasant travel destination.
The map is now enhanced by being printed on durable stone paper.

Gloss Laminate
Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Matte Laminate
Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Canvas
Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
