Norwegian’s network in Italy offers many holiday destinations where passengers can enjoy historic cities, beaches, lakes, varied cuisine, and other activities.

«Italy has a lot to offer tourists from the Nordic countries and, based on the growing interest from our customers, we launched several new routes last year. We will fly to 11 destinations this summer, operating 19 routes with 13 daily flights to and from Italy,» said Magnus Thome Maursund, Norwegian’s Chief Commercial Officer.

Since the start of service to Pisa, Norwegian has expanded its route network. This summer, the airline will offer services to Milan, Rome, Verona, Naples, Sardinia, Sicily, Venice, Bergamo, Bologna and Bari.

«The cooperation with Norwegian goes back to the first flight to Italy and it is nice to see its positive development. There have never been more direct routes between our two countries and the number of direct routes has increased over the years, resulting in a growth in the number of Italians visiting Norway. Norway remains a popular tourist destination for Italians looking to explore the fjords, mountains and midnight sun. The new extensive Norwegian route schedule is very well received by travelers and travel agents alike» said Elisabeth Ones, tourism market specialist at Innovation Norway.
