Norwegian Adds Exciting New Routes from Oslo and Bergen Summer 2025

Norwegian has clearly decided that your summer 2026 vacation plans need a bit of extra flavor. The airline is rolling out four shiny new direct routes from Oslo and Bergen, and let’s just say they’ve got you covered whether you’re dreaming of Moroccan souks, Sicilian cannoli, or Baltic city strolls.

In total, this boosts Norwegian’s network to more than 120 destinations. Translation? If you can’t find somewhere to go now, the problem is probably you.

From Oslo: Souks and Sicilian Sunshine

First up, Oslo is getting two new summer hotspots:

• Tangier, Morocco – Weekly flights on Mondays from 22 June. Because nothing screams “start the week right” like swapping the Norwegian drizzle for Moroccan sunshine, mint tea, and maybe a camel selfie. Tangier is Norwegian’s third Moroccan stop, joining Marrakech and Agadir. Clearly, Norwegians can’t get enough of North Africa.
• Palermo, Sicily – Twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 20 June. This is your chance to stroll through piazzas, inhale pasta like it’s an Olympic sport, and channel your inner Godfather. If you’ve been secretly practicing your “leave the gun, take the cannoli” line, now’s the time to use it.

From Bergen: Baltic Adventures Await

Not to be outdone, Bergen is also getting in on the action with new links to the Baltics:

• Riga, Latvia – Twice weekly (Tuesdays and Saturdays) from 31 March. Riga is all about Art Nouveau architecture, cobblestone streets, and beer that somehow tastes better after walking around all day pretending you’re in a fairy tale.
• Palanga, Lithuania – Twice weekly (also Tuesdays and Saturdays) from 31 March. Palanga is basically Lithuania’s beach resort town—think sand, sea, and spa culture. It’s where Norwegians can swap fjords for Baltic boardwalks without needing to pack sunscreen rated “volcanic.”

What Norwegian Says

Magnus Thome Maursund, Norwegian’s Commercial Director (aka the guy who signs off on your holiday dreams), called out Tangier as a perfect addition to their Moroccan trio, while Palermo gives Oslo travelers another Mediterranean escape. Meanwhile, the new Bergen flights tighten connections with the Baltics, because why shouldn’t fjord lovers also enjoy seaside saunas and amber jewelry shopping?

Why This Matters

Here’s the thing: summer travel is all about variety. Not everyone wants the same cookie-cutter beach holiday. Some of us crave a colorful Moroccan market, others want to eat pizza in Palermo until our jeans cry, and some prefer to sip cocktails by the Baltic Sea while Googling “is this still Europe?”

With these new routes, Norwegian is making sure you can do all of that—without messy layovers or sacrificing your precious vacation days to airport waiting lounges.

And let’s not ignore the convenience. A direct flight means you can actually spend your holiday in your destination, not at Gate B32 watching someone nap across four chairs.

The Bottom Line

Norwegian’s four new summer routes are basically a gift-wrapped excuse to go somewhere new in 2026:

• Mondays are for Moroccan markets in Tangier
• Midweek and weekends are for Sicilian sunsets in Palermo
• Tuesdays and Saturdays take you to Baltic gems Riga and Palanga

Whether you’re after couscous, cannoli, or craft beer, Norwegian’s got you covered. So grab your sunglasses, practice your “bonjourno” and “labdien,” and get ready—your summer travel calendar just got a lot more interesting.

Because let’s face it: you weren’t really going to stay home, were you?
