A trend has started to develop over the last couple of years in relation to where British people choose to go after they have decided to emigrate.  Instead of the usual terrains of North America, Australia and the major European cities, an drastic increase in people moving to Scandinavia especially Norway has occurred. 

Why?
You might ask well if you scratch the surface the answers are easy.  Countries were nearly everybody speaks English, home to some of the most unspoiled majestic mountains and valleys on offer and also the cosmopolitan and beautiful cities of Oslo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen and Amsterdam.  Add to this the warm and friendly people who seem especially accommodating to a foreign visitor, and it’s easy to see why so many British people are choosing to holiday and live in Norway and Scandinavia.

Getting there by ferry is easily done, lucky you!  Newcastle port has 4 destinations on offer in Norway and also travels to Gothenburg and Amsterdam.  Hull port provides routes to Rotterdam in Holland and Zeebrugee in Belgium.  Harwich port has a route to Denmark and the Hook of Holland whilst Rosyth and Aberdeen in Scotland also go to Belgium and Norway!
