Justin Trudeau shared a carousel of selfies with his sons and scenic shots from Norway on Instagram, captioned "A great visit to Norway!" The former prime minister took Xavier, 19, and Hadrien, 12, on the trip.
Xavier, who goes by Xav online, is a budding pop singer who has moved to Norway for nine months to focus on his music career. His debut single, "Downtown," came out earlier this year, and Trudeau filmed himself dancing in a Montreal Home Hardware store when the song played on the radio.
Trudeau commented under Xav's post: "So proud to see you in your element, learning and growing more and more every day." Xav also posted an Instagram Reel of the three of them taste-testing Salma, a sushi-grade salmon brand, about a week before his father's post.
The family visited Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Norway often ranks among the happiest countries in the world, and it has produced A-ha, Kygo and Röyksopp, along with the production duo Stargate, which has worked with Beyoncé and Rihanna.
Trudeau is also taking on a new role at the University of Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, where he was named a Distinguished Fellow and member of its World Leaders Circle. The school announced the appointment earlier this month, and the Dean said Trudeau would visit later this month.
