Oslo

It’s this combination of stunning nature and capital city vibe with world class museums, food and attractions which makes Oslo such a unique cruise destination.

The capital of Norway with its backdrop of hills, lies at the head of the Oslofjord, a 40-mile stretch of sheltered water surrounded by wooded hills dotted with summer houses that narrows dramatically about half-way up. Dominating the harbour is Akershus Fortress, a medieval stronghold and royal residence built around year 1300, while the twin towers of the town hall face onto an exciting waterfront with shops, restaurants and pubs. Among the special attractions of Oslo are the spectacular Opera House resembling an enormous iceberg, the Viking Ship Museum at Museum Peninsula Bygdoy, housing discoveries from Gokstad, Oseberg and Tune as well as other finds from Viking tombs around the Oslofjord.

Cruise vessels can dock at a great location in the city center.
