Justin Trudeau shares fjord-tastic family vacation photos
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau recently spent some quality time with his sons in Norway, a stunning Nordic country known for its breathtaking natural landscapes and, apparently, very happy residents.
Trudeau took his two sons, Xavier, 19, and Hadrien, 12, on a trip overseas and recently shared some highlights on social media.
“A great visit to Norway!” reads the Instagram caption. The carousel contained plenty of selfies of the trio and scenic shots of the country.

Xavier, who goes by Xav online, is a budding pop singer who recently revealed that he had moved to Norway for nine months to focus on his music career.
He’s certainly picked the right spot to find his creative spark.
Norway has produced some major names in music, including A-ha, Kygo, and electronic music duo Röyksopp. The country is also home to hitmaking production duo Stargate, known for working with mega superstars like Beyoncé and Rihanna.
“So proud to see you in your element, learning and growing more and more every day,” his father wrote on Instagram.
Earlier this year, Xav released his debut single, “Downtown,” and gave fans a glimpse of his dad’s dorky dance moves when he filmed him letting it rip inside a Montreal Home Hardware store when his song came on the radio.
Since arriving in Norway, Xav has also been getting acquainted with the local cuisine, too. A week ago, he posted an Instagram Reel showing him, his brother and father taste-testing Salma, a popular Norwegian brand of sushi-grade salmon.

The Trudeaus had no shortage of scenery to take in while visiting Norway. Among its most spectacular natural wonders is Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site considered one of the most beautiful fjords in the world.
Norway also often ranks among the happiest countries in the world, so Xav picked a good place to find his groove.
In addition to his two sons, Trudeau shares daughter Ella-Grace, 17, with his estranged wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. The couple announced their separation in 2023, and Trudeau has been dating pop star Katy Perry since 2025.
Norway won’t be the only place Trudeau visits regularly these days.
Earlier this month, it was announced that he landed a new gig at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government as a Distinguished Fellow and member of its World Leaders Circle, so he’ll be travelling to and from England often enough.
Rack up those Air Miles points, Trudeau!
